Thule Panniers

[Cheeky Monkey]

I've got one of the pre-Thule pack'n'pedal (or whatever they were called then) racks:



When / if we ever go back into the office I'm determined to ride more because the car just isn't worth it. However, got to carry a laptop and clothes etc. Have used messenger bags before but thought a pannier might be "better".

Just wondered if anyone had used these:



and one of these:



At £125 (on Thule's site) I'm starting to feel I might be being "taxed" a little though I imagine there'll be better prices with a bit of internet shopping or the like. I'm falling down this route as I've already got the rack.

Thoughts or abuse welcome

I've got the side plates for the rack and they work well. I used it for bikepacking before I learned to TLS. Use it with mini Ortleib panniers though.

Fitted the rack and sides to my wife’s bike. Used with Ortleib panniers.
Works fine, like a standard rack. We did a number of 2 week road/ easy track touring rides. It’s still on her bike 8 years later and in fine fettle.

Aha, so buy the Thule sides but any old pannier. Cheers folks
