Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I want a pannier tub that I can just drop a backpack in. Was looking at the Specialized Coolcave, but they seem to sold out everywhere in Australia. The backpack is too big for a regular large pannier. https://www.specialized.com/au/en/coolcave-pannier/p/205428?color=330750-205428&searchText=41122-6000 by Which_Bar_9457 Adventure biking Adventure on a bike Bicycling Biking Cycling xbiking

hopefulcynicist on January 28, 2026 10:52 pm Kitty litter panniers! Just give it a google. There are all sorts of DIY designs using hardware store parts plus also some kits with nicer quick release rack mounts.
fppf on January 28, 2026 11:51 pm The [Sunlite Pannier Mesh Bottom Basket](https://www.modernbike.com/sunlite-steel-mesh-bottom-pannier-basket-black) is the best, IMO, if you can fit it without heel strike. I use [this bracket](https://www.modernbike.com/product-2126310751) to keep it firmly in place. If you don’t want the basket for a ride, it comes off with a hex wrench in seconds.

SupaBrunch on January 29, 2026 2:40 am Ah you are looking for a “grocery pannier” I think. Most are a folding style, but that’s better than this imo
trALErun on January 29, 2026 11:32 am Maybe something like this? https://www.etsy.com/listing/646117982/air-pannier-a-pocket-pannier-get-on-your?ref=share_v4_lx

Pannier Jerry can, but actually 20L water container would do.
