Tesch panniers - any advice?
Found a good deal on a set of eight year old Tesch panniers including racks for roughly 200 Euros. They're a bit worn and have seen quite a bit of this planet already but still look good from what I can tell. No damages, holes, dents, etc. though.
I drive a Tenere 3AJ and they were previously used on a 55W which means they won't fit right away without further adjustments. I've heard much about Tesch panniers, they're supposed to be among the best aluminum panniers money can't buy. But does that still hold true for eight year old ones or will they not be worth the money? Any advice from experienced Tesch owners?
