The interior walls of the Panniers, closest to the spokes, rigid? My current Avenir Panniers sometimes get stuck in the spokes of my rear tires.

No they aren't, stiffen but not rigid, but I use a rack and it keeps the panniers out of the way. I haven't had any spoke problems, even with big bulky loads.

Kind of.. there is a piece of plastic sewn into the back wall that his it fairly rigid however mine goes into the spokes when I have a lotnin them.

I am not able to check at the moment but our two did not rub on the spokes. We do have fender braces that help to keep them outward. Sorry not to be more help

Unfortunately no, at least not mine. My rack prevented snagging, though I used it on a rack from oldmanmountain.com

Nothing rigid...I have had problems with the packs going into the spokes...I'll be looking for something different.

They are rigid but might get stuck only if empty. I tried the m-wave brand panniers, and they are more rigid but heavier.

Hi! Yes, they are. They have a sheet of heavy duty plastic enclosed in the pannier fabric on each side. You won't be sorry purchasing these ... especially if you compare prices in bike shops and even online. I did alot of research for you to have an easy decision!! Karen

I have a fatbike with 26x4 tires, it does it but barely. Have to spread the rack a little bit to fit it on, and there's less than 2 inches clearance on the top of the tire to the rack. But it works great, carries panniers and without any other modifications can't beat the price.

My bike is a DR650. It has DirtBagz brand pannier brackets. I have not fitted the Riggs to them yet but I wouldn't want to go with out the brackets. I think there would be melting on the exhaust and possibly interference with the rear tire while riding on rough terrain. YMMV

I would think that you need some form of support to keep them off of the exhaust. I have pannier racks on my xr650 and they fit great to them. The saddlebags have a x pattern strap on the back that secures them to the pannier rack.. You may be able to get by around town with them draped over the seat but not off road. Hope this helps.

There's an insert that you put inside the bag to make them still and not floppy. Once you have them strapped down they rest on the frame by the tires but they're structured enough that they don't flop around or get in the spokes.

Yes, some times the front wheel will get stuck because they pivot a little, but you re-position it and it goes through just fine. I use it to take the babies into little stores :)

not sure on that specific model but most I assume you are talking panniers. we do have some on ours and they all have a bungee type system so it is easy enough to make them work and work quite well.

Sure they Will, providing you can assure that the rack that contains the panniers is still and does not move to avoid friction and ruin the fabric they are made of.

I do not know what a rear pannier is;however, I was able to attach it t my rear basket....hope this helps.

I dont know what panniers is, anywsy the bike is too heavy, never used it, and the seat comes loose on the screws

If your bike got a rear carrier the brace bar that goes down hold the bag out from the spoke . I've got over 1500 mileson mine and in the wind it don't get close. it will slow you down a little in the wind. Ken

I have a set of bags like this, called tour de france. To fix the bag getting caught in the spokes get thin board made of wood or plastic, cut to size, bolt to the bike rack. Then you wont have to worry about the corners bending in or the tie downs getting caught

Yes, there will always be movement. It's impossible to design a bike rack that will not move, the nature of the beast.

They seem to be very sturdy. I used these panniers on a week long, fully loaded (self supported) trip around Vermont and I never had a problem with them. No snagging, tearing,etc. They are heavy duty plastic with strong pull tabs. Also, just FYI, I found the design of these panniers really great. Different compartments allowed me to find things very quickly. I especially liked the large space in the middle, which most others don't have.

I have axiom panniers and they hook on just fine. You won't find a better rack if you don't have the eyelets on your frame. Great choice for newer road bikes.

yes. i used the small ones for front panniers and they need to separate for the front rack which rides lower.

None. However I do have to readjust the position periodically so I may spin the rear wheel without the arms on the stand touching spokes or gears. On my friend's bike he didn't have to worry about this but because of the shape of my specialized I experienced this.
