October 28, 20205 yr I bought some cheap panniers and there rubbish,when it rains they are like a sponge.Ideally i love some Ortlieb roll tops but there to expensive.I have seen some Ortlieb dry bags which are bassically the same for £20 each.I could then buy pannier mounting kits for £26.Do you think dry bags would work as they are a round shape?.Has anyone made there own panniers?
October 28, 20205 yr Why bother with DIY when you can get these for a little over £40: https://www.bikester.co.uk/red-cycling-products-urban-twin-carrier-bag-red-1025000.html?_cid=21_1_-1_9_1175_1025000_474935896296_pla&ef_id=Cj0KCQjwreT8BRDTARIsAJLI0KInB-AwnAb0bIiVnZYxBBBxozW0jsyjj8pGC7L06XYbiYMjirez3V0aAsIQEALw_wcB:G:s&campaign_detail=shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwreT8BRDTARIsAJLI0KInB-AwnAb0bIiVnZYxBBBxozW0jsyjj8pGC7L06XYbiYMjirez3V0aAsIQEALw_wcB
October 28, 20205 yr Author There not waterproof,id like that. Mine were sold as water resistant but no good when it peeing down. Thank you anyway.
October 28, 20205 yr The specifications state that they are waterproof and the reviews appear to back this up.

You could just stick the drybags inside the rubbish panniers
October 28, 20205 yr Author The specifications state that they are waterproof and the reviews appear to back this up. Ok ill have a look.Cheers
October 28, 20205 yr They are advertised as water resistant, with the material advertised as waterproof. They probably don't have taped seams or equivalent to make them waterproof?

October 28, 20205 yr The 2 x 22l offering has a better stronger lower fixing then the fiddley Velcro one
October 28, 20205 yr Author yes but there not waterproof my Friend. I was thinking about doing diy with these
October 28, 20205 yr The 2 x 22l offering has a better stronger lower fixing then the fiddley Velcro one Can you give a pointer please? I can't see those. (I know the velcro fixing on our Basil is quite awkward. Not really an issue for us as we don't take it on and off much

October 28, 20205 yr Waterproof spec as the single priced Red pannier but with the better adjustable slide clip. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/540-waterproof-double-pannier-rack-bike-bags-2x20l/_/R-p-193373 Also the 25l single also has the same clip. Edited October 28, 20205 yr by Nealh

Our current Argos panniers were old many years ago, and are now very old, but they were very cheap and do have lots of flexible capacity.
