Sods Law, one of lifes annoying realities. 50 days after I ordered my pannier rack from Touratech they finally arrive, 3 days after the start of the Pasty tour! DOH!!
Anyway, still very exciting coming home to a large box with Touratech stickers on!
So after waiting for the apparently typical delivery delay, I reach the next Touratech obstacle in my path to touring nirvana - German instructions. Thankfully, after a foolhardy 10 minutes of macho "I don't need no instructions" fumbling, I did a bit more trawling the web and find this site..
Sorted. How to fit Touratech racks to a Transalp 650, in English. Beautiful. It also has a link to the German instructions in PDF, which can be copy and pasted into Google transalation for a rough idea of what they're going on about.
Am I impressed with the final result? Yes. Seems sturdy enough and I like how the top is flush with the seat and the rear also.
Am I impressed with the final result? Yes. Seems sturdy enough and I like how the top is flush with the seat and the rear also. Am I impressed with the overall Touratech experience? No, not really. The guys at the UK office seem chipper enough, but the delay, lack of English instructions and not even a complimentary sticker!? Slack.
Only problem is: I now want to use them for a trip, but have all my holiday for the next 12 months saved up for the Morocco tour!! I feel some heavily over-equipped weekend trips and weekly shopping trips ahead!!
