Review on ROCK BROS Pannier Waterproof Capacity by Chris Owens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sad Fake Ortlieb Panniers

When I got them in the mail they looked promising. However, after two days of use, one of the clips broke and the bag slipped off my luggage rack while riding. It caught in the spokes of my rear wheel, causing the wheel to lock up and causing me to skid. When inspecting the bike, I noticed that the rear wheel is now bent and the trunk is bent as well. And the bag itself is good and strong, but the clips are cheap and plastic. Maybe you have better luck. EDIT: I'm writing this two days after I wrote my original review. I didn't change the star count or anything, I just decided to add some extra details. So I brainstormed last night and decided that rather than wastefully returning these bags, it would be a good idea to use a hot glue gun to attach the adjustment clips. Now, after a day of driving on bad roads in the rain, they still hold up. If this fix works for a full week I'll let you know.

Pros
