It's not just Ortlieb that uses that system, other good manufacturers do as well. For me, I'm going with a mount that is less prone to issues. It's really just a s simple as that. I've found a good bag with a more durable and trouble-free mounting system, so that's the one I'm getting. If the Axiom bags had that other mounting system, I'd be giving those a go, but since they don't, I won't. Arkel t is.
Reviving an old thread but how are your Arkels working out for you? They make phenomenal products and I own a few myself. When push came to shove though, I ended up with the Axioms over the Arkels based on the mounting system being trouble free IMPO. I run them on an Axiom Disc rack and they work flawlessly.
