Recommended pannier bag for TorTec Lite rack / Trek 1.7

Hi

I have a 2009 Trek 1.7 road back and recently got the lightweight Tortec ultralite rack

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good pannier bag for this combination of bike / rack. Not looking to carry too much, maybe a change of clothes and a pair of shoes for the odd weekend away.

Thanks!

Depends on your budget. I have used Altura arrans and was really impressed with them given their relatively cheap price.

If you want to splash out carradice are excellent quality (I haven't used their panniers but I have a super c saddlebag).

Thanks for the tip, that Carradice gear looks good

Yeah it's not uncommon to see 30-40 year old carradice bags still going strong!
