I have a large set for the rear, the only thing is that things get lost in them.

Sorry, I'm on a road tourer nowadays. Previously when I toured on an MTB I had the Delta Front suspension racks. They are a good rack and even being made out of al, they were the only al front pannier racks I haven't broke.Aushiker wrote:Thanks Kev. What about those Delta racks you mentioned in the other place?
I'd recommend the Delta front racks. The Ortliebs sit on these without any rattling as the tubing is the right thickness for the Ortlieb's locking mechanism.

Assuming they turn up Being sent down from Kal.sogood wrote:Wow, they are nice panniers from what I know of them. $105? Sounded like a bargain.
According to the seller, never being used and they look that way from the photos he sent. I found them online for around $229 plus postage so I reckon $105 in Perth is pretty reasonable.
Sometimes the Quokka has little bargains.

Maybe a postal agency? Mine is open Saturday until 5:00 PM and opens during the week at 7:30 AM. How good is that?

You certainly have it good - with those hours, it sounds like they might be "customer focused"!
Cheers,
