For pannier mounts, I called Wayne at the Touring Store (touringstore.com) & he had Ortlieb's attachments. Don't recall what they're called but they hook over the rack and have a clever little roll over fitting that wraps around the rack tube. I fitted these up to some REI panniers that don't lock properly onto my Nitto rack (tubing is too big). Clean, neat fix.
Another adaptation that solves a lot problems is D-rings with small tubing clamps (any hardware store) and either small bungies or shock cord. For instance, I found the 4 Velcro straps on my Acorn bag a bit awkward, so I fitted the bottom with a couple of D-rings and tie it down with a bungie. Quicker & simpler than Acorn's design, easier to remove and actually puts a bit of tension on the bag so it's more secure. With imagination you can make some clean adaptations. Oh, and their cheap as well. dougP On Dec 9, 5:58 pm, Seth Vidal <skvi...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 8:35 PM, Brian Hanson <stone...@gmail.com> wrote: > > BTW - for the post about the re-openable zip tie - just cut the old ones off > > and use new ties when you want to put it back on.
