Affordable Quality Bike Touring Panniers with Water Proofing
| I recently reviewed my ten year old Cartier Panniers and have been pleasantly surprised by my new handlebar bag from Axiom. While shopping for a small, simple handlebar bag that I could use on any of my bikes without having to use a mounting bracket I reminisced about all the Axiom products I sold to some very happy and satisfied customers. Whether for short bike commutes or cross country rides I was able to provide affordable quality items to meet my customer's needs. It always felt good to have customers return to the shop not to complain or want an exchange or refund but to give me their thanks for not only supplying a quality product but saving them some money as well. While looking at the new mounting brackets, new models of panniers and other re designs I felt it was time to catch up a little bit and have decided to order some new panniers. While I love my old Cartier Panniers (link for review) I would like to replace some other Axiom Panniers I sold with a restored vintage Bianchi touring bike I had completed in our shop. |  Axiom Panniers offer versatile Affordable Quality Products. My Axiom Cartier Panniers are still providing quality carrying ability after ten years. |
Axiom Cartier DLX Panniers My favorite panniers whether it be for bike touring or commuting are the Axiom La Salle Panniers. Designed for front or rear use, offer plenty of storage, include rain covers, angular shape for wind resistance and of course extremely durable. Unfortunately or fortunately when I sold the '83 Bianchi Randonneur Touring bike the buyer wanted the bags so bad he paid extra for them.
All of the Axiom Panniers have changed slightly in appearance over the years with a few design differences among the various models and a few new models added such as the Seymour DlX Panniers.
In my previous post regarding my Axiom Cartier Panniers I decided to order a pair of the Seymour DLX 30 Panniers

 Affordable good quality pannier set  A good bike touring pannier set that offers versatility with swapping front and rear bags. I like to use the Axiom Cartier Panniers on the front with Minoura Front Pannier Rack. Locking tabs on Panniers ensure they won't bounce off. Velcro handle strap that goes over rear rack ensure the Delta Panniers stay in place as well. | Other than the Grand Tour Modular Kits that I hear were a flop, most all Axiom Panniers are a worthy investment sure to provide several years of use with proper care and handling.
