Racktime TourIt Rear Bike Rack with DOUBLEit Panniers

After removing this from the box I discovered it did not come with instructions. I found the instructions on another website. Then I discovered that the roundstays were about an inch to short and the screws would not fit my bike. Thus far I have not got it fully installed. The bags on the other hand are pretty straight forward despite also not coming with instructions. The main problem is figuring out where the plastic inserts go. I found the pocket on the inside of the back on the side. It is covered by a small velcro piece. The plastic is goes down the side wraps around the bottom and up the other side so there is a fair amount of pressure that you must exert on the plastic to get it to push through.

Not too difficult to install but as others have mentioned, there are no instructions included. A quick interwebs search on the Google will turn up a PDF instruction sheet. Otherwise take your time and you will figure it out. The rack itself is built like a tank. The SnapIt system that the bag uses is ingenious. Very easy to ride around town and quickly snap off the panniers and carry them into the grocery.

For the incredibly reasonable price I paid for this I wasn't expecting to be blown away, just hoping it would work. But was surprised at the quality of the rack, it's adjustable front mounts, the bag itself and the quick release attatchment. This works well, carries all clothes and food I need for commuting to work. Allowed plenty of clearance for my heel too. Haven't used rain covers yet, but they're included!

Installation is quick and easy but instructions would be a nice inclusion to provide information reguarding features and installation options.

COMMUTE EVERYDAY OF WORK AND GO TO TOWN ON WEEKENDS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A MORE RELIABLE AND EASY TO CARRY SET OF PANNIERS. I NEED TO WALK IN AN SHOWER EVERYDAY. WITH ONE FLICK OF A LEVER, THEY GO WITH ME. TO SECURE, YOU LITERALLY JUST DROP IN PLACE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE. THEY ARE THEE BEST!
