The Ibera Rack I love.. I have it on my Giant Toughroad SLR2
It really feels solid like it can support a good amount of weight.
I agree that the Ortlieb's are better and I like them in Red/Black.. it fits the color scheme of my bike well.
I like the Back roller Classics..
The Ortliebs are also a lil bigger too.. they hold 20L as opposed to Ibera's 15L panniers.
I may buy the cheaper Ibera Panniers for now.. for $80 they come with a rain cover..
I am going to use them initially for running to the store.. instead of driving..

Spend the money and get good quality stuff and it will pay off in the end. Buying extra panniers overtime doesn't make the most sense. If those panniers had a better mounting system they wouldn't be as bad but it just doesn't look like a decent enough mounting system. I worry about reviews as I see a lot of them which are: shipped quickly, item as described, or something like that or people don't use them much or are paid reviewers.
