Yup, one spring. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196318 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 15:16:53 +0000 steveo 196318@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah my dowel arrived with a knot in the wood and I was concerned it might snap when heavily loaded so I emailed and got a replacement within a few days. Turns out the guys that build these bags know more than me as the original dowel is still fine despite having serious weight hanging from it on bumpy off road trails.</p> <p>But for reference B&amp;Q sell dowel cheap. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196312 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 14:22:15 +0000 Darkerside 196312@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ditto Nelly's experiences. The velco on my racktop back had stopped being, er, loopy enough to secure it. I'd asked where I could get some straps and buckles to replace the velco with something more clippy and got some free a few days later in the post. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196308 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 13:46:08 +0000 Nelly 196308@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Carradice customer service is brilliant - I have had replacement bits for my SQR twice (due to overtightening by me) without question.</p> <p>I decided against asking if they had the wooden stiffening dowel which I broke when I fell off. </p> <p>Managed to bodge an old chair spindle and it works a treat. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196264 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:33:23 +0000 steveo 196264@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Amir gets the caramel shortbread. Margaret from Carradice is sorting me with a spring. Should have thought of that in the first place. Cheers any way WC. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196122 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 12:24:04 +0000 amir 196122@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Odd bifurcation of this thread </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196121 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 12:23:24 +0000 amir 196121@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I just wrote to Carradice and they sent me some for free :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196112 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 11:27:52 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 196112@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think it was just Amazon in the end! Thought having a box of springs would be useful. As you do. Have had it a couple of years now.... And used one spring... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196107 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 11:19:00 +0000 steveo 196107@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Where did you get the box from WC? I don't mind buying a small box, I'm not sure when I'd get in to town to meet you. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196100 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 11:02:10 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 196100@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>When mine sprung I bought a box of springs of various sizes and one of the larger ones works fine. Can see if I've got some spare if you want? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15304#post-196097 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 10:58:36 +0000 steveo 196097@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Any one know where I can get a 30x10mm spring to replace the one from my SQR block? Mine seems to have been sprung. </p>
