Top boxes have their place but they’re not for everyone. My preferred order when it comes to carrying stuff on the bike is: small tank bag for small stuff, a tailpack for a bit more stuff, soft panniers for even more stuff and then break out the top box if the other half’s coming too. …
We should all lube our chains more than we do. Except, of course, those of us who are smart enough to fit a chain oiler. A properly oiled chain will last around 50% longer than one that doesn’t get the attention it needs. A dry chain will prematurely wear and knacker your sprockets, too. If …
