with the wind Bike Setup:
2003 trek 520 Summary:
great construction. aside from throwing your bike in the lake, they're waterproof like they say. the mounting system is nice, but i question longevity. they're my first panniers and have only made one trip (san diego to st. augustine), but they still look like new. they take a few minutes to set up initially (mark which is left and which is right), but they go on or off the bike in 2 seconds. they can be somewhat tricky to close (in a waterproof fashion) if they're stuffed. they fold over, so there's no set point they have to be in to be secure. also, if you are stuffing them, they need to be on the bike already, which can be a pain. the backing bows so much you can't get them clipped onto the rack. there are no pockets or dividers in the bags, so make sure you've got your own system for organzing things. small things like that make you appreciate what you're doing, so they're really minimal problems. Strengths:
tough material, waterproof, look nice. Weaknesses:
still lookin Similar Products Used:
