Thanks, just spent a load of time on their site and still not finished. A good site that's full of very interesting products. Glad I didn't win that 33 million quid as I'd have ended up with a big order from them.
Re: Commuting - best pannier?
http://bike24.de is also worth a look. They can be a fair bit cheaper than Rose. Their website search system is not as good though.
So long and thanks for all the fish...
Re: Commuting - best pannier?
I put a conventional black 20 litre rucksack inside one Ortleib roll top pannier All my work stuff - laptop, cables, papers, plus a small washbag for my shower - fits in the rucksack. When I get to work I lift the rucksack out and use it as normal. The ruck sack gives the pannier a reasonable shape.
I use the other roll top for my waterproof cycling gear, ferrying work clothes (shirt, pants, socks neatly folded and double wrapped in plastic bags to prevent creasing), tool kit and lock.
I do need to guard against packing too much in the ruck sack, and I keep my suit, belt, (hand) towel hung on hangers on a coat rack at work. Work shoes go in my draw.

Why are you worried about creasing your socks?
