Good Quality For The Price
Have had no problem or issue. Initial concern resulted from a review stating that the SunLite would detach and fall off. This has not happened. True, that there is no "tie-down attachments" included with the SunLite. However, there are so many different bikes that one attachment will not fit all anyway. I simply used two 'black electrical tie straps' and in 90 seconds, I was on my way. The bags look great and are doing all that is advertised. Very pleased with this purchase! Rating:

Nice for the Money
I am like everyone else. I like the bags but the mounting is not great. I will probably figure out something on the mounting to use velcro to keep the bags on the rack. Overall a great bag for $27.00. I would not use them to go around the world but for a nice day ride or even 4 days they should be fine with a little fiddling on the mounting. As for them falling off, I can't see that. There are 4 top straps that hook to the top of my blackburn rack that keep it in place. The problem is with the sides of the bags. Rating:

not so impressed
Based on other reviews of pannier bags I had read, my main concern was securing the bags to the rack. This item does relatively well in that area. The 4 attachment points were reasonably secure, though not the speediest, but I suppose that's the trade-off.
The major disappointment in this item is the lack of rigidity on the inside, and the pretty weak means for securing the side to the rack to prevent sway/flopping. The problem could be the pairing of the pannier with the rack I bought, but I didn't see any racks with sufficient pannier support to prevent the bag corners from wrapping/curving around and tangling with the spokes.
So on my first ride using these bags this morning, the little bungee cord on the inside popped off the securing D-ring (these hooks are too wide-open), caught a spoke and ripped through the cord (better than losing any spokes though). Now the bag on one side was flopping freely. This condition resulted in the rear inside corner tending toward the wheel, and ending up catching in the spokes. The result: exploded Dr. Pepper in the bag with my shoes for work! Yippee!
I hate crappy products, but I also hate messing with returns, so I'll likely engineer some solution to prevent the corners from wrapping around the seat-post rack's inadequate "pannier supports" and tangling in the spokes.
The fact that the bag isn't shredded speaks to the toughness of the material, at least. Rating:

Death Trap
I made the wrong decision when I bought this bag. This bag is not rigid enough to be placed on the side of the bike. Nearly caused me my life because it caught on the spokes of my bike and I fell while a car was approaching behind me. I thank all the gods that the car was slow. To top it all, Niagara Cycle blames me for putting it on my bike. The construction of this bag is so bad that Sunlite only thought about the cosmetic value of the bag and not the safety of the rider. They thought that just because there is a cardboard on the sides of the bag it will be good on a bike. What a waste. Please buy another bag. Save yourselves Rating:

Avoid. They fall off!
These are great in principle. They're roomy and easy to use. But, they fall off! Just ask my laptop that went flying down the street. On the other hand, the Targus slip case that it was in inside the panier protected it beautifully! |
