Heard a couple of little plinks behind me on the ride home, and later felt my seat sagging more than normal.

Goodbye, old friend.

@Mikewashere I suspect it's the tension pin assembly, but I'll have an ask around @bikes @cycling

@achadwick @bikes @cycling Looks like that shackle may be OK, just possibly need a new connector pin to hold it all together. Can't tell from the photo if the shackle itself has broken. But they've got what you'll need.

@kim @achadwick @cycling I keep it closed using the strap that comes over the top from the back, and have also used the drybag method. The front hook is just there to add tension to the longer strap -- in all my years, I've never had a problem with the strap getting particularly muddy, unless I'm also getting muddy anyway. But different use cases, maybe?

@ravenbait @achadwick @cycling Recumbent low-rider racks put the front panniers in splatter range of the front wheel, while the rider stays high and dry. Of course, the great thing about Ortliebs is you can just run them under the tap.

The over-the-top strap is incredibly useful for overloading the pannier gracefully, dangling random things from, or crossing over with the pannier on the other side for additional security, and I do miss it on my flap-closure Altura panniers (which got relegated to shopping duty when I discovered they were being eaten by the disc brake on my tourer).

Considering handlebar covers/mittens for doing updates in cold weather. They're quite pricey though. Would they help?

It's fairly slow travel, with frequent stops near the footway=sidewalk to record data on the phone. Are they any good for that sort of thing, if I use them with a pair of insulated fingerless gloves underneath? @bikes @mastobikes @cycling

@extua @achadwick @bikes @mastobikes @cycling I got myself a pair of sking gloves a couple of years ago, and they are great!

I use a pair of Wobs for biking around in the cold and at ~32(f) I don't even need a pair of gloves on underneath. They're amazing.
