Is it necessary to configure a bicycle pack for outdoor riding
Outdoor riding activities, whether it is short-distance riding or long-distance riding, all need to carry some necessary items with you, such as fast food, drinking water, mobile phones, simple maintenance tools, etc. Equipping a bicycle pack can easily carry these necessary items. When you are equipped with a bicycle pack, you can choose a suitable type of bicycle pack according to your daily usage habits and riding nature.
Things to consider when buying a pack
1. Durable strength
The durability of the pack is closely related to the design and positioning of the entire pack. It is positioned in the cost-effective, fashionable, and traditional categories. Generally, the durability and strength are not good. The fabric and straps or buckles are very elegant. Factors such as fabric tear resistance, scratch resistance, and external processing determine the durability and service life of the pack. In addition, the thicker the fabric coating, the higher the durable strength.
2. Scratch the spokes
Many riders reported that many packs on the market have a big flaw, that is, scratching the spokes or rear wheels, which may be a huge safety hazard in serious cases. This type of problem occurs mainly in the rear pack, and the front wheel pack is less common.
The occurrence of scratches is related to the fact that the rear plane of the pannier is not straight, and it needs to be solved from the design. ), an extra plastic plate is added to the outside, and a corner guard (injection-molded) is added to the bottom corner, which solves the potential safety hazard of scratching.
3. Capacity and Security
The capacity of the pack is not as large as possible. If it is too large, it may affect the stability of riding and driving, thereby affecting safety. It is necessary to find a balance point, and take both capacity and safety into consideration.
4. Suspension Buckle
Suspension fasteners mainly solve two problems: one is reliability, that is, the problem of industrial design level. The most efficient and reliable accessories are designed with the most reasonable cost and materials, and they have been tested; the other is the problem of convenience. The buckle should not only consider the durability but also consider the convenience of people's use. Based on convenience, the durability should be improved, that is, the stability of use and the service life will be continuously strengthened.
5. Waterproof
Sewing-type piggybacks are relatively inexpensive, and of course, their waterproof performance is relatively weak. Generally, an additional rain cover is required to resist the erosion of violent storms.
The voltage-type packs have excellent waterproof performance, and the highest ones can reach ipx7 level, that is, even if they are soaked in water 1 meter deep, they can not seep into the pack within 15 minutes. Of course, the difference in the material of the waterproof fabric also determines the difference in its service life. Many packs are beautiful in appearance and high in value, but for outdoor products, professionalism is the foundation, and sometimes it is difficult to have both. So pay more attention when purchasing such equipment.
6. Cold and heat resistant
The difference in the material determines the difference in its resistance to cold and heat. There are two main materials for common packs: PVC clip net and nylon lamination TPU.
The physical properties of the two materials are quite different. Generally, PVC will become hard and brittle at minus 5 degrees, brittle and easy to crack; when encountering high temperatures, such as 40 degrees, it will become soft, and the temperature will reach the melting point at a higher temperature, so the ice and snow areas Or using PVC-material panniers in desert areas is risky. The TPU material can be at least minus 25 degrees, the high temperature can reach 60-70 degrees, and its use range is wide.
