Panniers for XDS e-spresso

[zuzuspetals]

Hi. Does anyone know if these panniers would work with this bike? The frame the panniers clip onto is a bit thicker than on my previous bikes and my existing panniers won't clip on.

The panniers I'm thinking of buying (but open to suggestions).

You can make a frame "adapter" with pieces of 1/2" aluminum tubing and appropriate size insulated cable clamps.

The 1/2" size clamps are required for the tubing and the 5/8" size will fit most oversize bike frames.

A 12" length of tubing is usually adequate for most panniers. It is available on Amazon but could be obtained locally at a better price

For a finished look, these plugs can be used on the tubing ends.

Installation is simple requiring only a screwdriver and pliers. A hacksaw may be necessary if the 12" tubing needs to be shortened.
