Don't need a top box, but do need a black righthand pannier after mine made a bid for freedom on that goat track called the M27 on Saturday. Went over a particularly nasty bump and the next thing I know cars were flashing me. Went back and recovered it, but unfortunately it is a right off. Particularly peeved as at that point I had riden over 300 miles with no problem so cannot think that the pannier was not seated properly. So if asnyone has one gathering dust in a corner, I am in the market. If not it is off the Crescent to see if I can get a new one.  :hammer:

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Is it worth claiming off the insurance?

If I read this correctly, looks about £566 for the complete box (didn't know what year yours was but imagine will be same price different colour?!)

I think you may find for the entire pannier you are looking at best part of £600 as Winston has said!

Going down the insurance route?

Post by: Gonome on October 08, 2013, 02:02:33 PM
Probably. Cannot lead to a bigger hike in premium than the cost of a new pannier.
