Frequently asked questions
Why is the bracket designed to break?
It is better for a bracket to give way than for the bike or pannier to take the hit. In a severe impact it absorbs the shock by breaking.
How much does a replacement cost?
The bracket is free of charge; you pay only the shipping cost.
Can I fit it myself?
Yes. The bracket is designed to be easy to change and simple to service.
