My key consideration was the mounting mechanism of the pannier to the rack. Both Ortlieb and Carradice have a secure mechanism where the pannier is mounted with hooks to the rack and cannot fall off. I find the mechanisms that involve bungee cords and such to be less secure and more troublesome. For example, one time I hit a big bump and the cord disengaged and the pannier fell off the bike! The hook fell into my spokes and luckily the bungee broke before the spoke did.
I love my Carradice Super C pannier as a small pannier (front pannier) and the great thing about Ortlieb panniers is that you can get a nice bright yellow one for great visibility. My large panniers are Ortlieb Sport Panniers. Best, Toshi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
