Fixing panniers to a frame
I am reasonably certain that I will be making my own panniers rather than buying a set - purely because I know what I want them to do - for instance they will have a solar panel on the side to charge batteries. They will also have the capability to have a 5 litre can for extra fuel attached occasionally. Neither are features on any pannier I have seen to date.
So, given that I am able to design them to suit my needs the thing I keep stalling on is the attachment method. I would like to be able to remove them within, say, 20 seconds each but for them to be secure as they can really be if they stay attached. What systems do people use / suggest? The frame will be round tube of around 20mm diameter. Attachment points can be added to suit on the frame and on the panniers.
Thanks for your help
