Thanks for the replies on whether the shopping bag folds flat. Even though I now have to get 2 roller bags instead of 1 (:. Blast you, bikeforums!

Is anyone else annoyed that these are listed as "electric vehiicle accessories"? I guess that's what I should expect from Best Buy, but it still irks me.

If this deal is still going this weekend then I'm going to get another set for the front. I'm wondering if the Back roller classics would be too big for the front. I put the ones I have up front and they weren't much of a problem for me. I'm just wanting to know how much smaller they are than the back ones.

I had the back rollers but ended up returning them b/c of heel strike. I'm wondering how much smaller the front bags are compared to the back. Can I put the front bags in the back?

Just got my back roller classic. I want to thank DJConspicious for letting me know that it comes as a pair b/c I wouldn't have ordered this otherwise.

The specs say the front has the width of 9.8in whereas the back is 9.1in bottom and tapers wider to 12.6. pdf file says you can use them for the back.

just got back from best buy. i ordered a pair of back rollers in black and a commuter bag in black. girl came out with commuter bag in the correct color and the back rollers in yellow. manager went to look for a black set. came back empty handed. he did some fiddling on the computer then claims they are the same SKU number--the black and yellow. so, my suggestion of me leaving the yellow ones and them shipping me the black at their cost was a no-go b/c he couldn't guarantee black would come in. after some slow thought and calm mumbling by me, he marked the yellows down to $60. done deal. I still kind of want the blacks. may try having some shipped to my house and selling yellows on ebay or CL or just returning...have those ordering the black back roller been receiving the black back roller? (seems like an odd question)...

Odd. Just checked Best Buy's site. They've got Front Rollers described as being "black", but the picture has "yellow"....https://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstempl...questid=476658

I almost ordered the front rollers instead, just so I could get yellow. I really don't need these, but getting a pair of Ortlieb dry bags for this price is too good to pass up.

I was wondering about the colors. The color thing is weird on their site. If you go to "Ortlib" or "Ortlib USA" there are actually different option of products or colors. Is there any reason I should want one color or another except just preferring that color? I probably would prefer black, but I guess yellow or white might be fun too. IDK. I totally don't think I need these, but it seems like a killer deal so maybe I should upgrade to these.

I wanted yellow for visibility. Black would be fine. I do think the white with the Ortlieb stripe looks cool though, and it seemed the only other option was black, so I got the white. I don't need them either, but this is a fantastic price. And not ever having to worry about getting anything wet would be cool.

I ordered a set of front and back rollers shipped to store. I'll see what color I get as I clicked on the "yellow" front rollers, but even in the order description it states black. If I don't like them I will just return them at the store. At least I won't be out the shipping cost. I have a set of Axiom Typhoon panniers, but always wanted to check out the Ortliebs.

Let us know when you guys get yours if they come in different colors. I just need one more day and I can order them (waiting for funds on my card). I'm going to order another pair of the back black ones.
Just so you know, they are going to come in a rather small box, I was a bit worried at first thinking it was only one pannier (glad I was wrong).
I just hope my shipping doesn't get delayed this time. Last time I got next day shipping and it got delayed a day, and guess what, delivery day was on a Sunday so further delayed a day.

I ordered black and received yellow. I'm keeping them, though. Anything that makes me more visible is a win. (even if it means I'm riding a big ugly fred-cycle down the street ) Also, thinking about it, it gives me a fine excuse to order some yellow bar tape and re-wrap my bars and pump from orange/blue to yellow/blue.

I read this thread earlier in the week and finally caved this evening. Deal is too good to pass up. I ordered a pair of black Back Rollers for in store pick up. Tired of putting items in trash bags when it rains with my current pannier setup... Thanks OP for sharing this info. Will report back on which color shows up...

just got back from another trip to best buy. i was terribly upset yesterday, but after sleeping on it, I decided that if I could get some matching yellow front rollers I would be a happy camper. we all know of the color issue online, so I went into the store instead of doing a .com purchase. i was a little skeptical of finding the bags, I figured they would be by the computer bags. wrong! best buy has a whole biking section now. i think it has been a flop, hence our profiteering. NOTHING in the store was marked down. Found no black front or back rollers, yellow only. So I was happy. had an employee scan to make sure it was the correct price, which it was. found a commuter briefcase for $60 and bought that as well, will return the other one.
so for a commuter bag, front rollers and back rollers I am out a little over two hundred ($60+$60+$72+tax). not too shabby...

Crap, I could not help myself. Ordered the white ones today, killer deal. Now I need to tell the wife they're for her and figure out something for her to carry in them.

BTW, the Bestbuy return policy or lackthereof sucks. You can only get store credit or exchange on web orders.

The sku: 9849126 labeled as the black back roller is really yellow. Just wondering if they purposely mislabeled them black so they can unload all their yellow ones. I ordered a black front roller too which hasn't come in with the sku number: 9866169. I'm actually hoping it will be yellow to match my back ones. If so, I'll be satisfied, if they don't. Oh well. I think I will call my local Best buy to see if they have a bike section as well, maybe I can exchange them.

May I please ask a clarifying question?
I went to the BestBuy website, I clicked on the rear panniers, the cart showed QTY:2.
If I understand the thread, I should change that to QTY:1 and I'll get a pair, right?
(sku 9849144 )
Also, the front panniers, sku 9849144 --
are they also yellow?
do they also come in pairs?
Thanks, I just want to get it right
