Pannier wrapping

At last found a company that seems to be on the ball.
Just ordered a full set from these guys and will let you know what they look like. Mike Anstey helped out but the cost of GBP 340 was a bit too much.

Stickers just arrived. Absolutely useless!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬
Came in 1 large rolll with one giant sticker per pannier making it impossible to line up. Also the glue on the stickers was useless and the measurements were not accurate so there were a lot of “lips”
After 3 hours I couldn’t even get the top box done and the whole lot went in the bin. Waste of of Fekkin money and I advise you to avoid these like the plague…

I also had ordered some from Aliwank and they arrived a few weeks ago. Looked OK so I took them out and finished the Job. Much better and I only paid €30 for a set

The Italian ones were absolutely crap so as said stick well clear… no pun intended…
 
Indeed.
I spent € 150 on them. Next day the price had dropped to € 122. The whole thing was a sham so best to avoid.
Just sent them an email and will give them a poor write up as well.
 
The Aliwank ones are fine. A bit strange as in one decal the world map is a mirror so inverted. You can see that in one of the photos
At the end of the day I just want a covering for both protection and to break up all the ´´black´´

Also bought some pannier liners. I have always found the inside of the Aluminum boxes a bit bare and everything just rattled around. Started putting an old soft cooler in the top box but that took up too much space. Found a set on Aliexpress for €28 including shipping. Not a lot of dosh so nothing to lose. If they are crap they go in the bin. Arrived today and actually they are well made, padded and fit very well with Velcro sticky pads to put in place. Pretty decent firm quality. In my mind pretty decent piece of kit…..
 
I think they are meant to stay in the pannier, not be taken out like traditional pannier bags?

correct, they are ´´stuck´´ to the inside of the panniers with velcro and are not meant to be removed. If you use inner bags for your panniers then these would be your preferred option. I tend to use my panniers for all sorts of crap and my clothes go into a roll bag. The padding liner is then perfect. Also I tried them WITH my pannier bags and actually they slide in a lot more easily with the padded liner and there is no lost space.

So we’ll need bigger panniers …
That’ll give the moaners summit else to chatter about. :D

actually no....but I agree with your second point... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
The liners actually fit perfectly under the ´´lip´´ of the panniers edge rims fitting snuggly and perfectly into the pannier. They are about 5mm thick so take up no room whatsoever but provide that bit of padding which I think is perfect...

Apologies for digging up an old thread.....

these look pretty good - the ones i find on Ali tend to be the "1-sticker for all sides of the pannier" - which i thought (and you confirmed) looked a nightmare to get properly aligned!

these ones in 'parts' seem a lot easier to DIY fit

can i ask - were these the type you install 'wet' using a mist bottle of water and washing liquid - then you can move them around and squeegee them out when they are in the right place - or did you have just align the best you could and stick them?

also - how are the bearing up now? a few months on - are they peeling or still well stuck?

thanks

The ones I fitted in the photos were pretty cheap. I dont seem to be able to find them again but the big things is exactly as you state, they came in sections so were really easy to apply.
I dont use the ''wet'' method but prefer the masking tape and ''half / half'' approach.
They are fine and although cheap will do until something better comes along. I really just want the stickers to break up the black a bit and as scuff protection.....
 
Alicrap ones are starting to peel off.....
Find it incredible that there is still nothing of quality really out there with a half decent design.
Not interested in paying £350 for a set of Mark Ansty prints...thats just bonkers but I really wanted a set by these guys but for the GSA 1300....
I guess i just have to keep waiting.....
Yes, i did contact them but no plans to run anything ......yet.....
These were perfect on my 1250. High quality vinyl, very adhesive and the way they were cut made it sooooo easy to fit.....

Excuse me for interrupting, but have you ever thought of designing your own decals, unique to you, instead of a copy someone is making a fortune off of it.
Below is possibility and example, these can be reproduced as a pdf file and any good high street printer can make decals or stickers capable of remaining in place until you wish to remove them, for around £60, for many copies.
The ones I got made are same as those stickers you see on offshore containers, they ain't coming off unless you really want them too, with a heat gun (hairdryer etc.)
See below:

I could but I would be happy with a set of those above and then just getting them made. Problem is some are of such poor quality that after only a few months start pealing at the edges. The ones I got from the company above are fantastic quality.
......and as said Mark Ansty has some god stuff but not at £340 per set.....
 
Ones I got made, are on for good, as I say, unless you heat gun them off! :D

They would even design them for you, for a lot less than that.
 
The ones I listed on post #39, ordered from Italy went on lovely and are perfect after touring Scotland in shite weather and the recent heatwave of Benelux and Germany

They do a few for the GSA, link in post

Very good quality IMO

They are adhesive, put on dry, but if you look at that guy 'just the way it is' , he puts on a different brand using tape guides and removing parts of the backing to centralise. I did that and got them perfect as it allows a bit of readjustment

From 31.40 on video

I did put some pics up on here somewhere when I'd done them. Mine were for varios, but the principal is the same
