The tabs will break and freezing may break easily but for $4.95 each I use 4 of them, 1st has 1 liter oil, 2nd has 1 liter chain ATF, 3rd has spare nuts/bolts and 4th has tire patch kit/things. AGRI Supply USA has the best price and shipping . The liquid stuff I use MSR 1 liter fuel bottles and they fit perfectly inside the large cannister.
FYI:::::
These containers have a weep hole to let water drain out. Putting the lid on can be tricky until you learn to just push the lid on as far as you can before screwing the cap tight. A few crashes back destroyed 3 of them, not only did the tabs break off the containers broke open also but HEY the wreck also knocked off both panniers and bent the C__p out of the racks on both sides.
I will plug Happy trail panniers now, they are still square, water tight and the locks work and I didn't spend a lot for them. I bought them hoping they would be sturdy crash bars since I was/am a beginner.
IMHO. The rack SUCKS. The rack square tubing is paper thin and the braces welded to them are solid bars that king kong can't bend. The braces simply break away from the square tubing, so far Mongolia and Russian welders are re-engineering/Welding the breaks and the racks aren't pretty but are a pound heavier with weld/bracings and a lot stronger.
