Troubleshooting
Pannier is not staying securely on the rack.
Adjust the mounting clamps to fit snugly onto the rack rails. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged. Check that your rack rails are within the 8-16mm compatibility range.
Contents are getting wet despite using the pannier.
Ensure the roll-top closure is properly rolled down at least three times before buckling. Verify there are no tears or damage to the main bag material or seams.
Difficult to attach or detach pannier.
