BTW if you mount some bar ends (climbing pegs) near the middle of the handlebar, you can (with a but of fiddling around) often use 'road' STIs attached to those, or perhaps to the ends of the trekking bars themselves. Interrupter brake levers (crosstops) can of course give you a second brake lever position.

They say 20L but are way smaller than say the Ortliebs that also say 20L/21L.

For £20 each the quality is about right. They feel cheap and the mounting mechanism at the bottom is velcro.
