There is no getting away from the fact they areheavy especially if the panniers are loaded.
I have been riding bikes ever since 1966 andI thought I had finally lost my strength/ technique a few weeks ago when I had to ask my son to help me put it on the main stand .
On inspection I noticed the curved part of the left 'foot' of the stand had broken due to almost daily use over 20 odd years and and it was impossible to roll it on to the stand. Now looking for a second hand one. Would add re technique make sure the front wheel is straight when pulling back to avoid any tyre drag.
