5.0 out of 5 stars Durable, useful bags for your rear rack, August 19, 2007

I have used the bags for over a year for bicycle commuting to work and they provide ample space to haul a laptop computer on one side, and work-clothes, etc on the other side. There are 2 clamps on each bag for the rear rack, plus a swivel lock on the underside of the bag to hold them tight onto the rack. There is also a hook with an elastic cord on the bottom for each bag. I've ridden over 1,000 miles with the bags and they have not fallen off or come loose. The elastic cords on the top of the bags are useful to hold additional odd shaped items. The bags are water resistant, but if it's raining, some water may leak in from the bottom, so it's best to store a laptop computer in a plastic bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Axiom Cartier Rear Panniers, January 7, 2008

First off... I thought I was buying only one bag, but when I received the package there were two.
I havent used them much yet but I can tell by the way the bags are constructed that they will serve my purpose well. They mount easily to my bike and have plenty of space for my daily, 20 mile, commute.
They came with a small bag of extra clips, locks. Speaking of clips, these are metal and appear to be very sturdy. They come off the bike quickly and with little effort. The bags took longer to get to me than I expected, but I dont think that was the fault of the seller. I bought them a couple of days before Christmas and there was a lot of bad weather in the Midwest etc.
Anyway, Niagara Cycle Works did a great job in providing a better product than what I was expecting.

Thanks - Bicycle commuter in Portland, Oregon.

UPDATE: November 3, 2009... I felt compelled to add some additional comments to my original post almost two years ago.
I use these bags 4-5 days a week, all seasons. I live in the Pacific Northwest where I currently am commuting in a concoction of rain and fallen leaves and winter debris on roads. These bags have held up extremely well. I have had zero problems with them. When I bought them I was running a hybrid Trek MTN Bike. I recently switch to a 700c road bike. With a new rack, they fit right on and have had no trouble with them at all. I would not hesitate to buy this product again. I have rarely been more satisfied with a product as I have been with this one.
Great job and kudos to the mfg.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Price, Nice Product, October 5, 2007

I actually returned these since they weren't as large as I had expected. That said, I kind of regret it now. They were not that big but really not small either. You could fit your laptop and maybe a light change of clothes--stress light--in one and a small backpack's worth of stuff in the other. If you want to put groceries or anything rather large in them it's a no go. They're only 6" deep and not ideal for bringing a lunch pail. They are very well built and rugged looking and latch on well to my Topeak heavy duty rack. I would agree with the other review and state that they would be perfect for a light commuter. In that sense, the small size is very nice.
