If possible, we recommend wearing gloves from this point.
MOUNTING THE LOWER BRACKET
1. Position the bag on the left side. For our purposes, left is the side of the
bike with the brake lever.
2. When the bag has been opened, you should see a Velcro fastener on the
back side of the liner. Open the
lower
Velcro fastener to find the two holes
underneath it.
3. Insert one of the five screws into the
upper
hole.
4. Mount the lower bracket using the
allen key
and tighten the screws to 3
to 5 nm of
torque
1
.
5. The bracket should still move a little when pressure is applied. This play
is important because the notch must be oriented precisely to the
chain
stay
2
.
6. Close the Velcor fastener again.
MOUNTING THE UPPER BRACKET
1. Now open the upper Velcro fastener and insert two screws through the
two holes
on the left.
2. Place the
flat side
of the interior bracket on the threaded ends.
3. Place the bag with the mount on the
seat stay
3
(see figure above).
4. Guide the screws
between the brake cable and the frame
.
Take care to avoid damaging the coating.
5. The seat stay is located between the two screws. You can now place the
exterior bracket on the threaded ends and use some force to tighten the
screws.
Make sure
to tighten the screws to a torque of
3 to 5 Nm
1
again.
Please note
: make sure that the brake cable has not been pinched.
6. Finally,
make sure
that the bag sits as far back as possible. If that is not
the case, loosen the upper brackets a little and move the bags backwards.
At the same time, make sure that the lower bracket has been placed
precisely on the stay. Finally, the upper Velcro fastener and the saddlebag
should be closed again.
MOUNTING THE RIGHT BAG
The gear shift is located on the right side. The installation process is basically
the same as above, but mirrored.
This time,
make sure
that the gear cables are not pinched by the brackets.
Simply route them beneath the fasteners.
We hope that you will enjoy cruising with
your new bags.

the bracket may break.
