M-Wave Rear pannier bag, single or incl. rain cover

Pros: Well made with heavy duty 600 denier nylon. Reinforced sides and top carrier. Designed for light to medium carrying. Reflective strips. Quick snap-fit plastic buckles all round. Absolute bargain for the price. Cons: A bit of a rigmarole fitting the four plastic side inserts. If using a top box then they will get in the way. Won't last forever. I've only just received these but first impression is very positive. They are designed for carrying light-ish loads such as some shopping or a change of clothes and a few files for the office. They are not meant as touring panniers, you will need to spend a lot more money on a more robust substantial set. That said, they are very well made for the price. The panniers come flat packed in a massive box! The only downside is fitting the four plastic side strips but this is remedied by taking the edges off the strips and rounding the corners by chamfering the edges, I used a fine metal file but I think emery paper or a nail file would suffice. This will stop you cutting your knuckles and once done the strips slip in far easier and don't get caught on the seams. Don't skip this tip as many people have torn the seams by trying to force them in. I think it will also prolong the life of the panniers as the edges cut into the material where the stress points are. The strips have to be slid into two inside pockets, one at the top and one at the bottom which hold them in place. Another tip before fitting is to bend and flex the strips - especially the ends of the strip. Bend and flex the strip about a third of the way down its length so that it has a slight bend already in place before fitting. Then, bend and flex the two ends into a slight arch shape a long the width, the edges should point downwards. This will effectively shorten the width so you do not have to cut the strips down. When fitting the strips make sure they fit behind the front seams as they are a very tight fit, they can easily catch and this is the reason why people are forcing them in and ripping the seams. I started by siding the first strip into the bottom pocket (remember to arch the both ends) make sure you have slid the strip all the way in, take your time and don't force it, once in flatten it out slightly and make sure it fits behind the front seam. Then fit the strip into the top pocket in the same way. Next, make sure that the strip is behind the front seam all the way along its length and flatten it out completely, check it is still fitted properly in both pockets. Repeat for the other three strips and voilà, two nice looking and fairly large (office/shopping) panniers! They are attached to the rack by three snap-fit plastic buckles and straps, the type found on rucksacks, one at each side and one at the top. The bags are also closed using the same type of buckle. You can carry the two panniers using the top plastic covered strap and I think they would easily fit in a shopping trolley or find some way of securing them with a wire/chain lock, but then some idiot would probably cut them off! Don't know how waterproof they are but I think they would be okay for what they where designed for as they are made from heavy duty 600 denier nylon. The internal usable space is approximately 30x33x15.5cm (12x13x6"). Hope this helps, I looked at lots of panniers before choosing these, you won't be disappointed. UPDATE: I've been using these panniers for a couple of months now and so far they've been okay, no splits yet, still good value. I use them mainly for shopping, but not everyday, but I've had some really full loads. As I said previously, these are meant for light use a round town and not for a touring holiday. Having said that, I decided to upgrade and get a pair of Ortlieb Back Roller Plus panniers, expensive, but top quality. The reasons being, my bike is now my main form of transport; I also bought a lockable M-Wave Bicycle Rear Carrier Top Box from Amazon and I didn't know how it attached to the pannier - as usual there is never enough information or pictures on Amazon! The problem is, or rather was, the box attaches to a pannier rack using two threaded bars which you tighten up internally, which then also locks the panniers in position, good for security but a pain if you want to just use the box on it own. So, be aware of how these panniers attach if you decide to use a top box as well; the Ortlieb panniers attach on the side of the rack and come off with one pull of a strap, nice. I also tried the Mainstream SL 55 classic PLUS panniers from Amazon but they were a waste of time because of the poor quality fixings. I had to send them back to Germany for a refund!

The first one I received had a defect (it happens) but Amazon immediately sent a replacement - excellent service as always! The bags are a bit bulky with the plastic inserts but if you want you can leave those out to reduce volume & weight when empty. Personally, I don't mind, it was just a matter of getting used to it as I'd never had a pannier bag before. I'm very happy with it, fits all the groceries so I don't have to drive the car to the supermarket any more! (ok, if you're shopping for a family of 5 you'll still need the car - it's a 30-litre bag not a trunk!) Seems to be sturdy and well made, very easy to put on or take off the bike, easy to open/close and at a cheap price, what else do you need? Only thing that remains to be seen is how long it will last, although I know people who have had one for a couple of years and apart from a slight discoloration of the material (black slowly fading to grey - but I do live in a very sunny country and the sun will do that to most materials) I haven't heard any complaints.

These panniers were brilliant when I bought them. Easy to assemble and to attach onto my bike. They don't get caught in the wheels (unlike my previous panniers) which is a bonus for me. I definitely prefer the clips rather than zips as I've had experiences of zips breaking before (then everything falls out!). The only slight downfall for me is the curved bottom on one side of each of the panniers; this would be much better if they were squared shaped as I can't fit any large folders snuggly into them without distorting the shape of the panier top (which is primarily what I wanted it for, being a student) and ruining my folder. However, it's great for shopping, you'll be amazed by how much you can actually cram in them. Unless you're a student wanting to carry large folders with you, then these panniers are great. Really sturdy and convenient. The handle on top is also a bonus, you can just unclip the panniers from your bike and carry it with you into work or college (or to just keep out of the rain). On the rain note, I would definitely recommend a waterproof cover as they don't always completely remain dry inside. Hope this helps.

Putting the stiffeners in is the only assembly required. These are a splendidly snug fit. Once in place you have two large bins in which to carry loads of things aboard a bicycle. It has three easy strap fasteners for securing it to a rear rack, plus a couple of slots in the piece of plasticised cloth joining the two bags together to allow a cycle rack spring to go through. In fact, the rack spring is the only fastener I use normally, making removal and replacement extremely simple using the carrying handle also attached. Since I travel quite often on a train together with the bike, this is a great attribute for me. Love 'em.

When we moved to the city we sold the car and bought bicycles. Shopping was a problem until we each bought the M-Wave Amsterdam Double Rear Pannier Bag. It's made of sturdy material, and when assembled is very roomy. We manage to fit a week's shopping for 2 people into the bags easily. The only issue we had, was trying to fit the cardboard into the bottom of the bags to reinforce them. It's a very tight fit, but if you round the edges off with a scissors before trying to insert them into the holders, they slip in much easier. They are an excellent buy and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of purchasing them. They are also waterproof.

where to start. Looks great as it has big pouches. That's where it ends. You have saddle bags/panniers because you need to carry 'stuff'. So long as it's not heavier than a couple loaves of bread, you will be okay. We put a bag of oranges and apples in one side, and 4 pints milk in the other - the side sheered off like butter - simply fell apart. Not only that, the release clips that hold it onto the bike on the reverse of each pannier are threaded through a rubber thingy - this split literally as it was being tightened onto the bike and broke before we had even finished installing it. Honestly, save your money and get something that can do the job it's mean to. This looks great - but incredibly poorly made. My old ones are so much better than this! This is NOT built to last. I would ask for my money back, but don't have the original box to put it in, and we have stapled the sides together to get our items home. I would give zero stars if I could. May be okay for carting around lightweight stuff like balls of knitting wool.

It's been almost a full year since I bought a set of these panniers. The price has risen, but otherwise they seem unchanged. The good: still a pretty good price for a semi-rigid double pannier set; body material is quite tough; capacity is excellent, perfect for my daily commute and just about adequate for a weekend cycle camping; layout is quite good, with convenient mesh pockets at the back into which I tend to put extra reflectors or lights in winter. The less good: quality control is only fair, with one of the internal sleeves for the (optional) rigid boards being a little too small for the board itself and the stitching on those seams coming free; the panniers are initially waterproof, but don't count on it since the waterproofness comes from the liner material of the lid, a plastic coating which quickly delaminates and comes away in pieces; the lower strap and buckle arrangement for attaching the bags to the bike rack could be less fiddly to use and needs to be checked or else you risk the strap catching in your spokes; there's no adjustment on the lid straps, so you can't cinch them tight or slacken them if you need to carry something bulky; awkward to carry when full, and the handle is tearing away from the material of the bag; buckles are generic, unbranded ones, expected at this price but they do tend to unclip under stress. Having changed my bike recently I'm now moving away from using these as they're just a little to big for it, causing my heels to catch the bag if I'm not careful. On my previous "roadster" style bike there was no such problem, so do be aware that they may not work well with smaller frames. Overall, recommended for the price and they've lasted fairly well for a year of commuting, but if you can afford to spend a little extra and don't intend to use these for relatively light duties I'd suggest looking for something a bit better.

Hi. I got over a years wear out the last set, if not more and I use them all the time. My bike is my only mode of transport. . They are ideal putting your carrier bags in when shopping. The clip fasteners and lift up tops make them roomy and easy to store your haul quickly. The tops do cover the storage area properly because they have side flaps. The quality is good for the price. You do get what you pay for though, I would not take them touring or camping. But for light to medium use, they are excellent. I haven't had any problem. I didn't bother inserting the support panels. They don't seem necessary and just add weight.

Si buscas unas alforjas simples y no quieres gastarte mucho dinero comprátelas. Son amplias, bastante resistenes al agua, y se mantienen rígidas aunque no lleven nada en su interior. Ahora bien, no se le puede pedir peras al olmo, valen lo que valen, y por eso tienen unos cierres que no son los mejores del mercado. Son los típicos cierres "de click" que llevan las mochilas para que te las puedas atar por el pecho. Bailan un pelín si das giros bruscos, y no se mantienen totalmente inmóviles. De todos modos es normal dado su precio, si lo que quieres es tener unas de gama alta conseguirás una impermeabilidad perfecta y una sujeción absoluta, pero te tendrás que ir a los 80 euros. Si buscas unas simples, prácticas, a buen precio, y admites que bailen un pelín, estas son buenas.

Inget att anmärka på, prisvärd och stabil.

Goede tassen, degelijk en stevig. Een goed product.

Artikel wurde innerhalb eines Tages in einem Kunststoff-Beutel (so wie üblicherweise Kleidungsstücke) zugestellt. Bereits beim Auspacken war ich über das erste rein haptische Gefühl bzgl. des Materials und der Verarbeitung sehr positiv überrascht. Sehr dickes und hochwertiges Material. Die Montage bei unserem EBike war ein Witz: Klammer des Gepäckträgers hochklappen, durch eine mit sehr stabil wirkenden Nähten verstärkten Schlitz führen und wieder herunterklappen lassen. An den Seitentaschen gibt es verstellbare Gurte mit Klickverschluss, welche beliebig an den Seitenteilen des Gepäckträgers befestigt werden können, einen weiteren, an der Brücke befindlichen Gurt, falls z. B. keine Gepäckträgerklammer vorhanden ist - fertig. Jetzt werden noch zwei mitgelieferte Kunststoff-Streifen in jeder Tasche plaziert - dazu gibt es an den Stirnseiten und dem Boden der Taschen entsprechende Laschen - fertig. Die Taschen sind damit recht formstabil. Bei unserem Rad ist ein Kontakt der Fersen mit den Taschen beim Strampeln ausgeschlossen. Das Ganze wirkt sehr wertig und geräumig, ich denke, dass mindestens 4-5 PET Flaschen a 1.5 Liter in jede Tasche passen würden (habs noch nicht probiert) Stabil genug für dieses Gewicht wären die Taschen aber auf jeden Fall. Die Deckel oben haben eine ausreichend grosse Überlappung, um Regen abzuhalten - aber wer ist damit schon in der Waschanlage unterwegs, um die Dichtigkeit zu prüfen ? Für uns ein perfektes Helferlein für den kleinen Einkauf zwischendurch oder auch für die Proviantierung bei Ausflügen - es passt genug da rein, ich würde schätzen 30 bis 40 Liter pro Tasche. Fürmich eine klare Empfehlung, würde ich sofort wieder kaufen.

pour un peu plus de 15 euros en promotion, une affaire top, je recommande
