I'd like some feedback on the Axiom gear as well. Erick, what wasn't convienient about them?
I have a pair of Arkel XM45s for the rear and a pair of Axiom La Salles for the front and for occasional around town use. The Arkels are great. I think the mounting system is almost failsafe. The Axioms are what they are: inexpesive basic bags. I think the mounting system is a bit weak and I debate retrofitting them with the Arkel system or just getting a set of the XM28s. The Axioms are a bit leaky around the seams. For me this is more an issue for around town use than for touring. One thing that bugs me is the little flap that is supposed to cover the zipper on the side pocket. With anything in the pocket and the zip closed the flap wants to pull back, exposing the zipper its supposed to protect.
