Oxford Humpback panniers

[ranathari]

I just picked up a set of Oxford humpback panniers off eBay but there's no fitting guide included. This is my first set of panniers and I feel like a right numpty because I can't work out where the straps should go to hold them on. If I run all the velcro straps under the seat then I can't get the seat back on but if I run them over the seat then they're not secure enough.

Anyone got a pair of these and willing to tell me how to fit them?

Where are you located??
I have some and I can get two of the straps under the seat and the third (front) sits just forward of the rear seat. Or have you tried putting the middle strap under and the other two over the seat.

You normaly get 3 velcro straps

x2 of these will go under the rear seat
and the left over one (Middle) will go on top of the seat

adjust the bags so they are level with each over the use the bungge straps to keep them in place

hope this helps

Cool, thanks for the advice.

I got them on with two straps going under and one going over but it didn't feel too secure. I'd forgotten about using the bungees to hold the panniers together so I'll dig those out and use them to keep everything tight.

Thanks for the advice.
