What bags can I fit to a dual suspension mountain bike?
I have a cheap Mongoose XR-75 dual suspension mountain bike, to ride around campus. But lately I discovered that I have to transfer a lot of stuff between places and I’d like to fit bags to it. It seems like panniers can’t be fit to a dual suspension. I would have bought a hardtail had I known.
What kind of bags can I fit to the bike? Is there any way I can fit panniers?
You can buy a rear rack that attaches to your seat post, but these racks have a limited weight capacity, if you overload them they can break, or even snap your seatpost, so large panniers are out. A dual suspension bike is only really useful for off road riding. If you have to carry something heavy, a backpack is the only realistic choice.
