Ardcase Luggage
 

Collected my Ardcase panniers from Roger. Top service, they were fitted while I waited and watched on drinking tea. These are one of his new designs that are chamfered on the sides and the bottom.

Sweet! I have a set of the 40ltr cases at home waiting to be mounted, will sort that before my Easter jaunt. Great workmanship and Roger is a top bloke to deal with. :respeck:

Too right!! Great job and will highly recommend him. He is in the process of getting a website sorted out, so should be easier to order and veiw his to quality products.

My god that looks like a big top box.

Panniers do look great and i love the small piece of metal to make them into a table

i think they look graet im pleased for you ..dont let err indoors near em on box will be full of make up

good looking kit nice one

its a pity they put all that laser cut stuff inside and placcy stickers on the outside seems a waste but
if any one asks to see your box :glasses13:from now on ime sure you will be delighted

Selling the boxes
 

I'm now looking to sell the above panniers, top box and the pannier rack as the bike has now been sold. If there is any interest feel free to pm me.

The panniers have never been used since they were bought from new, the rack was on the bike but not really used and then taken off. The top box was used for the day to day commute.

The panniers and top box are now sold.

How much did this set cost you new??? And where is Roger???

Roger now has a website www.ardcases.co.uk its has all the sizes and prices on there.

Good luck.

Does anyone have a Ard case top case fitted? i'm trying to fit the base plate but the lip on the end i would have thought would stop the seat from being removed if anyone has a pic of how you've fitted yours so i can get an idea of how to fit it. :smilies0942:

I'm looking at getting an ARDcase set but was wondering does the topbox affect the handling.

It looks a bit of a monster!

Is 34l the best size of pannier in this set-up?

Ardcase Luggage
 

I have the 50 L case set up and I can only say it's a very durable and reliable set. I must've come off my bike at least 100 times and no substantial damage to the cases. Fully recommend these cases to anyone, price and durability is unmatchable And by the way he offers great customer service.
I do have a couple concerns but they do seem minor compared to all the stories from other riders who possess alternative cases.
Those being they are a little bit heavy and the Lids will fly unless you are careful with the locks which I am not. Four example when I had soft luggage, i used to permanently ride around with the zips open and they would fill up with water and the zips would break etc.
I think some sort of hinge or tie would be better
