| Delta Expedition Bicycle Panniers (1 Pair) by Delta Nice, but not 100% solid. |
I picked up a set of these Delta Expedition Panniers for my little upcoming 3 day tour. I'll be doing some road and gravel rail trail riding.
So far, I've just used them for commuting and they work great. I haven't filled them to capacity, though. The stuff I normally take usually goes in a Sunlite Toploader 3 trunk with drop down panniers. I never liked how that bag made things more top heavy. The same stuff in the Deltas was 100% better. Lower placed weight = better handling. Not that the Toploader was a dramatic difference, but it was noticeable and annoying enough.
The construction looks good except fo the plastic clips. After reading all of the reviews here I was a bit hesitent. But the price I got these at with the rack I needed (Delta Universal Mega adjustable) was too good to pass up. So I've taken into account that the clips will probably not last and I've got some ideas on better attachments. I also strap the handle straps together with the velcro and I've got another should strap from another bag looped and wrapped around the handles to secure the velcro wrapped handles. Should clips fail, I won't lose a bag to the side of the road and the commotion should be enough for me to realize there was a failure. I've heard too many stories of people losing a pannier and never realizing it fell off.
The elastic/hook attachment on the back is always a sketchy prospect, but I make sure mine are on there tight. I'll probably replace those with a buckle type strap.
The back pockets are very roomy and hold my small items like wallet, phone, keys, tubes, etc. The top mesh pocket holds my lock. The hideaway high visibility rainfly is a great feature. When I tour, I'll probably pull those out regardless of rain just for the visibility.
I was thinking of getting some grocery getter type panniers soon, but these bags are plenty bag for groceries and the top is closable with both the draw string and lid.
Overall, I"m happy with the purchase.. especially the price I got with the specific rack I needed. But I only recommend these bags that people be aware of the sketchy plastic connection clips. Have a backup plan for replacing those and also failure backup. |

| This was shipped on time. The person I bought this for was very pleased and couldn't wait to use it. He kept checking it out. I would buy from this company again |
| Delta Expedition Bicycle Panniers (1 Pair) by Delta Roomy but... |
| I've had these panniers for less than a month and they serve me well for getting groceries. But one of the clips broke and I had to put a screw in to repair it. Also, I found they rub on my rear wheel. I have to stop and bend them out to get them to stop rubbing. |

I got these for my daily commute, which is not long - usually 6 miles biking and 20 minutes by light rail. Wary of the other reviews, I was initially cautious about loading the bags too heavily, but have had no problems with the clips. The rain covers zip out of the top of the bags - very handy. I like the small pockets on the backs, too.
The only issue I have had is with the elasticized straps and hook on the back (don't even know what these were intended for). Got caught in my chain and had to get it removed. But that's user error - I should have taken them off long ago.
I really recommend these for commuting - they're enormous and flexible and I've been happy with them. |
| Delta Expedition Bicycle Panniers (1 Pair) by Delta Great bags; terrible clips |
| I've had these panniers for about 9 months. I use my bike in the city, so I mainly haul groceries and other shopping items in the bags. I could not be happier with the size and durability of the bags themselves; however, the cheap plastic clips broke on a ride home from the grocery store. I have since punch 2 holes in the back and strung a heavy duty rubber cord through to hold the pannier on. I'm going to do the same for the other bag even though those clips are fine for now because I don't want any surprises. My advice, if you get these bags, find some other way to hold them on right away. The clips they come with cannot be relied upon. |
