I vaguely recall that, but also, their expedition panniers, they were huge, I think long fore/aft, and ballistic nylon I think, heavy even empty, 5 lbs seems to stick in my brain, not sure. Touring with a trailer was a pain in some ways, so I had bought a longer recumbent frame, thinking to sit forwardmost and then use the extra length to carry two panniers per side or expedition panniers and two top bags. But I never followed through with the plan.
The rear rack on my folder needed super extra long stays, Jandd had some. Of late, there is another rack maker that offers same for similar price.
