Gear review

Even though I have a few options to carry the necessities (water, repair/flat kit) and some extra gear on my trike, things were not feeling right.  The Radical Allfa ICE side pods are cavernous inside.  Unless you are carrying lots of large items, everything seams to get lost in this large bags (no dividers inside).  Great bags for this trike, just to large for non-touring/commuting needs.


The Trice Rear Carrier that came with my trike has a problem where a portion of the rack hits the trike frame, so that's been removed until I resolve that problem.  Otherwise, the bag I have for that rack is actually very nice.  The SunLite is a very nice bag with lots of pockets and two large drop-down side panniers.  The two new bags will work nicely with the two new bags, as the new bags have very specific purposes that are not duplicated with the trunk bag.


I placed an order with the Hostel Shoppe for:

FastBack - 4.0 Hydration Pack











 


FastBack - Tool Pouch














will finish this post later today, need to prepare to ride...!

    Hi
    I was surprised to hear that you are having trouble with the rack. Can you tell me more? I have a 2009 QNT

    Cheers .. Billy

    Sorry I never finshed his posting, I'm behind a wek or two!

    The rack HITS the frame. I'll post some pictures and also send them to I.C.E. to hopefully help me correct this problem.

    I also have an issue with the seat mount hitting the frame in the lowest position.

    I've not heard of that before but I'm sure the ICE boys will sort you out. I've never found them anything other than helpful. :0)
