Questions about Panniers

How can I continue to use my carrier straps with panniers?

You can choose the option “cuts for straps” as extra. The square recess in the middle of the luggage carrier area is also an option for this.

Can I protect the pannier against theft?

An anti-theft ring has a preventive effect because you can attach the pannier to the bicycle with a lock through the ring. We also recommend that you ALWAYS secure the bicycle to a tree/fence or post.

Inner and outer dimensions of the panniers

This is how you get an idea of it:

The inner dimensions of the panniers in centimeters are: Length x depth/width x height
Small(S) 30 x 12 x 27
Medium(M) 34 x 12 x 31
Large(L) 29 x 18 x 31
Extra Large(XL) 35 x 18 x 31
Extra Large Cutout (XLU) 35 x 18 x 31
in an XLU or XL, 8 one and a half liter bottles can be transported per side, so 16 per bag
in an L 12 bottles and in an M 8 pieces
In principle, one and a half liter bottles do not fit in an S size, these are suitable for children’s bicycles or sports bicycles.
The single pannier can store half of the above sizes.
Sizes may vary slightly as all our bags are handcrafted.

Attachment of the pannier to the luggage carrier

Double panniers are attached to the luggage carrier by means of 4 Velcro straps. Some panniers are additionally attached to the luggage carrier by means of a Velcro strap, so that you cannot lose the pannier when the bag is empty.

Carrying capacity of the pannier

The panniers can carry as much as you want to take with you, but most luggage carriers are suitable for 15 to 20 kilos of weight. For a single pannier we advise not to load more than 7 kilos.

Als ik een fietstas met print wil, kan ik dan ook de tas in een andere kleur bestellen?

Wilt u bijvoorbeeld de roze bloemetjes met witte tas maar dan met roze tas in plaats van witte tas. Geen probleem, u vermeldt dan bij opmerkingen in de winkelwagen dat u een bepaalde kleur wilt. U ontvangt dan een bevestiging per email over de wijziging.

Pannier options

Child seats in combination with panniers

What is the difference between a Bobike and a GMG child seat, which pannier do I need?

A Bobike seat is attached to the saddle bar and a GMG child seat is clamped to the luggage carrier. So for the GMG you always need a square cutout in the middle of the pannier. See additional options for panniers.

Bobike child seats and panniers

A Bo bike child seat can almost never be combined with a large pannier. The length of the luggage carrier measured from the footrests must be at least 38 cm. are. Some Mama bikes have that.

GMG Child seas and the footrests

You cannot use the footrests with a GMG child seat!

Qibbel Child seats

For a Qibbel child seat you can choose a recess in the middle with every pannier, NOTE, write in comments that the recess is for the Qibbel
