Will these panniers attach to the Tubus Tara rack?
 
Hey folks,
will these panniers fit on a tara front rack?

maybe it's a dumb question but i was hoping for a simple hook at the bottom.

Very similar mounting system to the Ortliebs. Should work well. So you should be able to make it work.

I say go for it. Look like pretty nice panniers for the money.

A quick email to Wiggle should also work. They do seem to respond in a reasonable time to questions.

They should. The lower hook on them is very similar to the Ortlieb Roller Classics. The upper hooks are the same as a pair of Detours bags I have and they work just fine. Not a quick to release as the Ortlieb but they aren't too hard to work.

The upper hooks used by these and the Detours are a fairly standard type of clip (made by one company but used by a bunch of pannier makers). They are easy to use (the Ortliebs might be easier).

The bottom "hook" (which would seem to rotate) appears similar to the Orliebs (which are "made" for the Tara!).

These should work fine on the Tara.

Thanks folks, i ended up goiing for the ortleib fronts instead, they weren't much more and just a bit larger, plus they look cooler :)

You shouldn't have any problems the Tubus Tara racks are very pannier friendly and can accept many types of panniers.The lower mounts on the panniers you are useing are identical to my Carradice super c panniers with the c system mounts.The top mountings I cant say for sure but I don't see any reason they wouldn't work.Tubus makes good racks that you can mount almost any pannier to.
