a question for those who ride spirited offroad, single track or other questionably uneven surfaces that use hard sided panniers....
What packing strategy do you use to keep things from bouncing around or shifting, especially when the pannier isn't full.
I keep my tools, and air pump and my medkit and various essentials in the panniers, obviously it takes up a small portion of the space, but they are not soft spongey items.. i'm thinking of compartmentalizing them, or incorporating some sort of ladder system so i can put bungees over it depending on the height requirements, so there is no way for them to bounce around but still give me freedom to add more on top in varying quantities..
the easy solution is to just stuff soft crap in there like clothes, bike covers or camping gear, but once i've unloaded those soft items at camp and want to explore i don't wnat to pack it up again just for a spirited dirt romp.
do any of you have any strategies to keep the heavy loose essentials in place? looking for ideas, want to tinker a bit and see what inspiration arises.
