Re: Attaching d-ring pannier to rack

So the upper one uses the 2 grimloc fastened to the top side rail of the rack, and the velcro lower strap fastens to the upright and stop it flapping.

The lower one is the other bag that uses a grimloc to fasten to the upright to stop it flapping the the strap loops over the rack to hold it on, using a strap defender I think it's called to hold rest of strap tight.

Re: Rack mounting extender/standoff

I maybe didn't explain it very well! I don't have a rack. I want to use the rack mounting holes near chainstay to mount a light as when I have my bag attached to my klickfix seatpost mount my under saddle light will be covered. But due to the position of gear cables I can't get the light to fix there. What I want is something to work as a spacer or extender to allow me to use it. Any ideas?

Rack mounting extender/standoff

Hi all, so I am wanting to mount a reflector onto my rack mount hole but need it extended slightly. Is there a extended standoff on the market anywhere that anyone knows of?

Re: Utility Pannier Bags

I use a set of panniers I made out of ex-army respirator bags and some grim-lok 's to attach them. Water proof and work really well and cost around £16.

Re: Securing bike in a garage but not drilling holes

He's not keen on drilling into anything at the moment. Would be leaving it behind though. Think I will have a chat to him face to face next I see him. Guess chain from roof isn't very secure at all!

Securing bike in a garage but not drilling holes

So I'm looking for a way to secure 2 bikes in a garage but landlord not happy on me drilling into walls. I can however see the rafters so I'm considering throwing a chain up locking it in a loop up top and putting a d-lock or similar onto bottom of it. How secure do people think that'll be?

Re: Help with choosing bike type and/or commute through Lond

I've used my folding bike on the roads of Glasgow for just under a year now and the road surface is rubbish. Same with most cycle lanes up here as well. OK the small wheels make a rough surface feel rougher (only 20inch) but works fab to be able to bring my bike into work with me, and fits the flat nicely.

Re: Attaching d-ring pannier to rack

Ordered both and have a couple of different military plastic fasteners on route to see if they do the job.

Attaching d-ring pannier to rack

So I'm wanting a cheap pannier and have found a army surplus field Pack which has a webbing attachment and 2 d-rings. Plan to use webbing attachment to fasten to rack as primary hold on, but am trying to come up with a simple removable fitting method for the d-rings. Would like it to weight bear, and not need any modification to my rack. Any ideas?
