I'm not much of a photographer, but I hope that these give you some idea. Please note that I posted my previous message shortly after I got the pannier, and since then I have found that those plastic clips, which were initially very tight, have loosened up and are now easier to open. Also, as the photos show, my rack has one of those built-in spring clip thingies which make it harder to get at the bottom of the pannier clips. If your rack doesn't have one, the pannier's clips will be easier to get at. Having said that, you still have to push up on the bottom part of the clip (gray in these photos) to release it. So if you have big fingers, or a rack like some of the Blackburn mountain jobs with a big slab of metal running along the top and obstructing your access to the bottom of the clip, it might be kind of a pain.
