How do I install the lloonngg panniers …?

The ERRC lloonngg watertight panniers work with the “Easy Reacher” under-seat rack.  Taking the rear “J” hook as a starting point, slide the panniers from front to back under the seat to secure the 2 top “J” hooks.  Once positioned, pull down on the bungee cord on the back of the bag to create slack to hook the bottom “S” hook to the bottom of the rack.  Mid-way along the top edge of the pannier is a long piece of Velcro.  This can be placed around the diameter of the frame tube behind the seat (cut to length) to secure the mid-section of the pannier to the bike.  The rear portion of the bags have a velcroed pinch clip.  The Velcro can be attached to your rear seat stays and the strap pulled tight.

 

To remove, repeat the process in reverse – pinch the rear clip to unhook the rear of the bag, undo the middle section Velcro, unhook the bottom “S” hook from the rack and slide the bag from back to front under the seat to remove.

Can you tell me how the handlebar bag works …?

There are 2 clips that are secured around the top horizontal cross-section of the handlebars or on the Easy Racers fairing brace.  They have a pinch clamp that allows the clips to remain on the handlebars, so the bag can be removed easily.  The bag comes with a shoulder strap that can be used while off the bike.

 

The compression strap at the top of the bag can be used to cinch down a windbreaker.

 

The rear interior section is insulated and can hold a small hydration pack.  There is also a front interior section, a small zippered interior pouch, a rear pocket for holding thin items and a front mesh pocket.

 

The bag was originally designed to use additional “S” hooks on long straps at the bottom of the bag to secure it to the fork – I thought it was overkill and made the bag cumbersome to re-attach – so the bottom clamps are not used.

 

There are straps that go around each side of the bag from the mesh front pocket.  My bag manufacturer sells additional small bags that can be attached here, but I have not invested in these.  I personally use the straps to hook my safety strobes too – just another place to blink!

 

The Velcro straps at the top of the bag can be use with a hydration tube – there is a slot at the top of the bag that you can run your tube through – the Velcro pieces can be used to secure the hose along the handlebars.

Where did the nickname Wo come from …?

My mom used to call me “Wo-wee” instead of Laurie (in baby talk) when I was younger.  As she’s always in a mad-rush and 2 syllables took twice as long to utter, she shortened my name to “Wo” (pronounced “woe”, like what people might exclaim when you pedal your recumbent past them, “Wooo…. Cool Bike!”).
