Stolen Panniers

[mikeyw64]

Does anyone have a picture of the s shape clip the usa guys used

Not to hand but if you're looking for instructions on " pinning" the panniers to prevent them flying off should the latches break (as opposed to some oik nicking them) then..

It seems all the photos from the link have been deleted, more than likely by a disgruntled Photobucket account holder who has been asked for money after many happy years of hosting direct from the site free of charge.

You took the words out of my mouth lol

I have pinned my panniers differently on both bikes I've had.
The current one I drilled through the bottom fixing ( just behind the foot rest )
And put some spring loaded pins in they can't come out on there own  but will stop the panniers coming off.
The other one ( Bristol Bob now owns a member on here he may be able to put photographs on 👍 ).
I drilled a 1/8 hole through the panniers top brackets into and through the back of the panniers then put them back on the bike  then from the inside using the holes as a guide I drilled back through the hole into the bike catch the bracket sits in.2 holes in each pannier then I aroldited some flat disc magnets by the 2 holes widen the holes to fit the steel rods you use ( I think mine was 4 mm )
Put the rod as far as it will go then cut  bend into an L shape the magnets hold them in place and you need to open the panniers to remove the pins to remove the panniers. Also when not using the panniers leave the pins on the magnets sorry I never took any pictures hope this is easy to follow

Hopefully photos attached showing all tat Pross did to secure the panniers to the bike.

Photo 520 shows the holes drilled in the pannier; also you can see the magnets attached.
Photo 521 you can now see the pins inserted and held by the magnet.
Photo 522 shows the hole drilled through the hanger on the bike.
Photo 523 - back of the pannier showing the hole drilled through the clip.
photo 524 with the pin set into place.

[tapps]

i dont have the panniers fitted on my bike all the time,i only fit them when i'm going away biking holiday, this look's like an easy fix,i'm alway's looking to see if they are still attached to the bike.

Great idea, I'm off to the garage as I can't ride it may as well do something useful

[wildybeast]

you could possibly cut a slot in the mounting bolt so you could use a coin to undo it,

Can find some other threads here with same discussion and solutions
Can use the searching item right above

Didnt have any issues on my bike 2010
Good luck

The YouTube video solution is  great idea.

I'm going to refine it a little by using these with a rubber washer (to add a little movement and waterproofing) and a large penny washer.
