>Hey sharkey, can you explain how hard panniers break legs?

In offroad situations, if you "dab" your boot into the ground in the process of trying not to fall, then fall anyway, it's easy to get your lower leg trapped between the leading edge of the pannier and the ground ... if you're using the big rectangular boxes this puts a lot of force into the middle of your lower leg. The ones without the front corner lower corner spread the force over a bigger area, so it's less of a problem.

There's no hard science there, just an opinion. Plenty of people have ridden around the world with big square-arse panniers and never had any problems ...

Keep the rubber side down,
