Which Sopris saddle
#19
re: pannier attachments & pannier popping out - Sopris has added a middle "tightening" strap that helps a lot, I now have 2 Rookie saddles with that.  I posted a pic on another thread.
My original Rookie without the middle tightening strap, I just use leather strings at all 4 attachment points - my goat can jump over streams and the panniers never move it all.  But, I weigh & load my panniers with plastic 13 gal garbage bags so never have a need to remove the panniers from the saddle.

re:adding abs pipe in middle of foam for rigidity - the Rookie saddle I "deconstructed" already has a piece of semi-rigid pipe inside the foam, I also posted a pic in that other thread of this too.  I'll probably pull it out for my lighter load needs in the newest Rookie saddle I got.

Also, I have a set of green Intermediate panniers that have been used a handful of times, if anyone is interested I'd sell them for $80. Can send pic.  I only use the Rookie panniers as I don't have need to carry large loads on trips.
