[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 161060, member: 456"] It is not that the monoshock is better but it does allow adjustment of both the spring tension and damping. Rather it is the fully springing of the seat rear. Konis were ofter thought of as too hard to the extent that people used to fit them on the rear to try to get them to soften up before putting them on the front. It is possible that your Konis are still too firm. Regarding fitting panniers to one of Tim's subrames my suggestion would be to weld or braze two short tubes on to the rear of the uprights into which 'spikes' on the front of a carrier frame could slide to allow easy fitting and removal...There might be bends in the uprights which would affect the design. The constructor would need to have details of the pannier fttings before a kit could be designed and made. [/QUOTE]
