yeah, i need to look more closely next time... show blindness kicking in and it's only day two
Wow, never heard of Racktime and looking on their website the stuff is really nice. Infact their Handlebar bag is way better thean ortiebs (it looks like an ortlieb with all the extra features you wish it had when using it), might have to get one of those.
Thanks for the tip Saku!
You're welcome.
As STATO says, I think the reviewer has misunderstood how these work - the photo of the attachments clearly shows that the two top knobs are fixed in position on a rail and the bottom one on a frame coming off the rail, so they don't need to be individually positioned: it's the rail itself that mounts to the existing pannier rack and can be moved around.
Also, most of the photos are of Racktime bags and baskets, not Ortlieb, despite the headings. Racktime is owned by Tubus and there's some kind of tie-up between Ortlieb and Tubus. They also DON'T mount using the QL3 system, but the excellent Racktime system. I have the DoubleIt bags and the racktime rack and it's so much better than Topeak's system or Axiom's that it's not funny.
It actually looks like itd be dead easy to setup, the 3 pins are connected and attach to the rack with 2 bolts and a standard ortlieb lower hook, so 5min? If i didnt already have a full set of ortliebs id have one of those in a flash, infact i still might!
