Touring Panniers and Rack

[Guy Anderson, Sr.]

I need to set up my mountain bike for light touring, and need advice,
opinions and suggestions about rear racks and bags. So far the Topeak
outfit looks pretty good, and I'd welcome any opinions re it:

The rear racks and the latest rear pannier from Performance, especially when
they're on sale, are about as good as you'd want for anything other than
round-the-world touring.
