panniers

advice please does anybody know if it is possible to fit panniers on to a full sus MTB, would
prefer rear but front would do at a push.

If you get a seatpost mounting rack then probably. Of course, you're a bit snookered as regards
supporting the rack from underneath so don't expect it to work quite as solidly as a normal rack,
but they do exist and people do use them. Also note that Carradice's Limpet system is designed for
sus forks, so you can use those on the front. They also do SQR (Seatpost Quick Release) bags which
look pretty nifty. Less capacity than a pair of standard rears but if they'll take what you want to
carry probably a good route to follow.

See carradice.co.ukcarradice.co.ukOpen ↗ for Limpet and SQR details.

I recently used Carradice Limpets for 2 months round New Zealand, fitted to a Trek 6500, with no
problems. No idea about rear panniers with full suspension though.
