Number of cordura patches on them to cover tears and chafes also. Wonderful things. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10861#post-120804 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 21:55:52 +0000 RJ 120804@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My classic PVC Ortliebs have been repaired several times with rivets, nuts &amp; bolts, spare PVC tarp material and Evostick. One now has an ugly, but effective additional bucket-shaped base to cover spilt seams. 12 years old(?) and still capable of being stupidly overloaded. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10861#post-120799 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 21:07:23 +0000 Instography 120799@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Worth investing in a reasonably good (about £20) rivet gun and rivetting it back - one replacement on either side of the one that popped - with penny washers to spread the load a bit more. Rivet guns are great for making stuff. </p> <p>Once you've got the rivet gun, some thin plywood and a set of Ortleib <a href="http://www.evanscycles.com/products/ortlieb/ql1-hooks-with-handle-and-inserts-ec051128?utm_source=froogle&amp;utm_medium=froogle&amp;utm_campaign=froogle&amp;utm_content=mkwid__pcrid_17321847296_kword__match__plid_">handles</a> turns any bag into a pannier. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10861#post-120792 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 20:37:36 +0000 gembo 120792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wingpig that might work with a washer either side to grip the fabric </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10861#post-120791 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 20:35:44 +0000 wingpig 120791@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>When a rivet popped off my Karrimor Iberian pannier I replaced it with the shortest M5 bolt I could find. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10861#post-120787 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 20:30:15 +0000 gembo 120787@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Foolishly, I started using my vaude made EBC panniers for grocery shopping. They have a hard plastic frame that the nylon is riveted on to. Now one of the rivets as popped out. Any suggestions for fixing? I found the washer in the bag and wondered what it was then put it somewhere safe and now I cannot find it when I know what it is.</p> <p>Meanwhile, I have been applying liberal, nay mohandes K gandhi amounts of McNett seamgrip to my ortliebs and so far in the process (one light shop) the glued together seams have held up. </p>
