Thanks!
There is no comparison between the Ortlieb and the Nashbar front panniers. I have a pair of each, and only use the Nashbar's to go to the store.
This is the mounting system on the Nashbar front panniers. It really leaves a lot to be desired. I'm getting ready to do major surgery on them!

Compared to Ortlieb's mounting system.
I also have a Blackburn EX-1 on my old touring bike, and used it with my Ortlieb Front Rollers to go to the Gym this morning. Like foks said it will work well.
