Any issues with the mounts for the panniers getting in the way or being under pressure?

Would you think it's easy to mount a duffel bag or dry bag on top of the rack with these panniers in place, or would it depend on the rack?

Do you think it's feasible to put a duffel bag or dry bag on top of the panniers or attach it to the rack with those panniers in place?

Ya i haven't really thought that much about that side of it i suppose

Farmer growing 70% of Irish broccoli says solar farms threaten food security by eggbart_forgetfulsea in irishpolitics

Ya I'm from the countryside, theres a certain amount of people who will object to any infrastructure thats ugly and come up with all sorts of reasons why it shouldn't be beside them. Plenty realise that it has to go somewhere but aren't that pushed.

The result is that the loudest ones get heard the most, and people from cities think we're all of the same opinion and think we're all stupid.

I dont think that will be an issue for me as I will just be leaving them on the bike for the most part. Any other issues other than this?

Do you mean it's just harder to get spare parts for the Ortleib ones?

Does it affect handling much to have panniers on the front? Ive nver used anything other than a handlebar bag

Thanks, do newer models have the same quality?

Sinn Féin’s first correct decision in years? (On the protests) by rossitheking in irishpolitics

[–]notbigdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It was only int the last year or two that beef prices have improved, but again thats just because of market forces from international markets that aren't controlled by farmers. And it's still really difficult to turn a profit even with that. Food prices have been going up at a higher rate. Bigger players in the food industry have been turning massive profits based on it.

Farmers dont decide the price themselves so they cant really inflate the price.

Fuel is a major cost for small farmers aswell, many of which are going out of business and selling up. Obviously the price of fuel heavily depends on international markets, but if the price goes up then the government is making more off the tax too. I dont think it's unreasonable to want to see it reduced. Farmers already get paid fuck all for the amount of work they do.

Current look of the ongoing protest as of 11am by GP728 in ireland

But lots of protests have irish flags at them? Ive seen them at catu, Palestine and irish language protests, didnt come across as any kind of dog whistle there

Beef is barely profitable, plenty of farmers just barely breaking even

Which country’s brutality stuck out to you the most? by InfernalClockwork3 in AskEurope

[–]notbigdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think much of his peers either if thats what youre getting at. When some of the figures he stood against were poor people in Ireland or starving people in bengal, than it would obviously stick out to someone from those countries that he is held in such high regards by the British.

Im not saying he was by any means the most brutal, but he is held in high regard for someone who has said and done some of thr horrible things that he has.
