But i think I can sort that.</p> <p>Top guy. Turns out he's a cyclist too. Nice pic of him riding ventoux on the counter. Goes to the top of my 'cycle friendly shops' list. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18941#post-285648 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 14:18:34 +0000 gembo 285648@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Leatherman chap might still be there at west port? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18941#post-285645 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 13:29:17 +0000 SRD 285645@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>hard to describe. quite reinforced, but flexible. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18941#post-285644 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 13:22:30 +0000 Frenchy 285644@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What's the top of the pannier made of? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18941#post-285643 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 13:14:56 +0000 SRD 285643@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Do you think I'll need a leather punch for the holes? </p> <p>If so, does anyone have one I can borrow?</p> <p>I have one in Canada that I could bring back, but it's old and not as heavy looking as some i;ve seen. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18941#post-285632 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 11:38:36 +0000 SRD 285632@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My Timbuk2 pannier fell apart and i couldn't find a replacement with the same fitting system. the one I got has a hook and loop system, which was fine on my road bike, but has now fallen off both the tandem and the folder (no idea why the difference). </p> <p>But I quite like the actual pannier, so am wondering about retrofitting some QL1 or QL2 clips to it. </p> <p>I'd be more than happy to pay someone to do the retro-fitting, either in cash or kind.</p> <p>Or does anyone have any advice ? </p> <p>I think the big challenge will be punching holes through the top of the pannier without destroying it. </p>
