Well it is warming up here....mid 30s and not even summer yet. My left pannier was warming up as well...but not because the ambient temperature, but because of the closeness to the muffler. If I place my hand inside and touch the base, the heat is immense. Is this normal?
I did carry a small plastic bottle which contained additive for valve lubrication in this pannier and I couldn't work out why it kept leaking out. Now I know..heat.
Your thoughts would be helpful. I have had one suggestion..to turn the pannier into an esky (chill or cool box) but that could be going too far.
