FAQs

What does IPX6 waterproof mean?

IPX6 indicates that the pannier is protected against powerful water jets. It can withstand heavy rain and splashes but is not designed to be submerged in water.

How do I ensure the roll-top closure is waterproof?

To ensure a waterproof seal, you must roll the top of the bag down firmly at least three times before connecting the buckles. The tighter the roll, the better the water resistance.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the pannier?

Each pannier has a weight limit of 10kg, including the bag and its contents.

Can I fit a laptop larger than 13 inches?

The internal sleeve is specifically designed for laptops up to 13 inches. Larger laptops may not fit comfortably or securely within the padded sleeve.

Is this pannier sold individually or as a pair?

This product listing is for a single Altura Thunderstorm City pannier bag.

Can I attach an LED light to this pannier?

Yes, the pannier includes dedicated attachment points for LED lights, enhancing your visibility.

What is the material of the pannier?

The pannier is constructed from 100% Polyester with a TPU coating on the outer material and a 100% polyester lining.

Troubleshooting

Pannier does not click securely onto the rack.

Ensure the rack's rails are clean and free from obstructions. Verify the KLICKfix system is properly aligned and that your rack is compatible.

Water ingress despite using the roll-top closure.

Make sure the roll-top is rolled down a minimum of three times before securing. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams, and consider using an internal dry bag for electronics or valuables as an extra precaution.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged.

Avoid harsh scrubbing during cleaning. If damage occurs, contact the manufacturer for potential repair or replacement options, although this is typically cosmetic.

Laptop sleeve seems too tight or too loose.

The sleeve is designed for laptops up to 13 inches. Ensure your laptop's dimensions fit within this specification. For slightly smaller laptops, you may need additional padding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach KLICKfix System: Ensure the KLICKfix universal rail fitting on the pannier is correctly aligned with your bike's rear rack.
  2. Secure Pannier: Slide the pannier onto the rack until it clicks securely into place. Test its stability by gently pulling upwards.
  3. Close Roll-Top: For maximum water protection, tightly roll the top of the bag down at least three times before fastening the buckles.

Compatibility:

  • The KLICKfix universal rail fitting is designed to be compatible with most standard bicycle racks. Please ensure your rack has rails that can accommodate the KLICKfix system.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the TPU coating. Allow the bag to air dry completely.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check seams for any signs of damage. Ensure the roll-top is always closed properly when exposed to rain.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
