Pros & cons
Well, yeah, they are strong enough to hold the box, but after a while (lots of Kms & dirt) they tend to get stuck - meaning it gets more and more difficult to get the pannier fitting tight against the rack. I tried to get the bolts sliding smoothly with silicon spray, but to no avail :-(
I've got them, but I prefer the Metal Mule brackets. But that would mean you'd have to get the MM rack.
