@ Jeffs,
What?!? I don't think that there is any way that my trunk bag is going to fall off, it has two velcro straps and two bungee connection points. I know that it is not as fancy as what some of you are suggesting, but it has been a good durable option for me. Moreover, it sounds like the OP is not looking for huge cross-country bulletproof touring panniers. Personally, I try to commute with as little as possible. |
Bobd20011.... I hope it isn't going to fall off, b/c i ordered one before lunch. :D and the nearest REI store is about 4hrs away.
figured i would try it out and if i don't like it... well... i'll use it anyway, and complain about it on here. :) . I just couldn't find any panniers that were cheap enough and had all the features i wanted. Actually, i did... but, i would have had to spend another 25-30 dollars on a trunk bag. anyways... thanks for all the input guys. |
You will have to let us know how it turns out. Enjoy the ride.

The features of a good commuter pannier are:
Quick-release locking system: not elastic, velcro, non-locking hooks. Good stiffening on back and base, that is not too heavy. Heel cutout shape. At least one pocket. The toughest material you can afford. I managed with cheapo flimsy panniers with hook and elastic but my caradice are tougher, stronger, more durable and more convenient to use. If you are going to use a bike as your main transportation, sooner or later to have to bite the bullet and get some good ones, or make them. |
