I don't have OMM Pioneer racks, but I have used Ortlieb panniers on other OMM racks.

I have had the panniers come loose on rough roads and singletrack.

There are a few solutions:

- I use 1 zip tie on each pannier to secure the bottom for longer dirt tours as it's 100% effective, cheap, easy and I don't need my panniers off the bike
- Ortlieb sells a variety of clips you can use to secure the lower part of your pannier...you can attach 2 clips on some panniers to help lock things down better
- a strap wrapped around the pannier and rack will keep it secure and allow you to remove it as needed from the rack
