I use the QL3 system on one side of the Tubus rack on my Hillborne. It's a little more fussy to line up the pegs for mounting the pannier than the hooks on the QL2 or QL1 systems. Since the hooks are inset into the side of the bag, I doubt you could adapt a QL3 system to another bag. I use it

This really has answered my question on what bags to get for my front Campee rack. I like the size of the H.A.B, and I may try the Arkel Cam-Lock system or the Ortlieb uppers and lowers. Thanks for the inspiration!! Will Ashe On Friday, September 2, 2016 at 2:29:39 PM UTC-7, Jeff wrote: > > My

Ah - I think that buckle strap with the inner dowel is a nice upgrade for the backabike bags if you ever regularly install/remove a loaded bag from your rack. On Fri, Sep 2, 2016 at 7:26 PM, Leah Peterson wrote: > Well done! Looks great. Riv must have had similar thoughts because they > got thei

When I bought my backabike bags last year my first impression was wow this mounting strap is inconvenient. I used them on and off and I got pretty good at doing it fast. Now I've come to a point that I just leave them on. I guess if security is an issue the Irish strap would be more complicated

I was specifically looking for solutions for the hub area bag/rack combo. I think the backabike bags have some similarity in that they also use nylon straps for attachment, and I'll comment on that a bit, but the hub area bags have a bottom pocket that slides into the bottom of the rack as the bott

Do you guys mind posting the link to this hardware that you are using? I just bought the Backabike bags from Rivelo today, and I'm curious. I don't even know if I want to take the bags on and off yet, it's just too soon to tell what needs I will have for the school year. But it would be nice

If you are referring to my comment in another thread that they are not designed for easy on/easy off, that was definitely not a lament! I experience no grief over this, because I knew they were not made for taking on and off frequently, and I don't need bags that facilitate that. Here is the

I have a set of Ortliebs and I think they have superior mounts. I was thinking I'd like to try to make something a bit better than just threading a strap through and around every time I want to instal or remove the bags, without buying Ortlieb kit. I went to the local small box hardware store and s
