It's a pretty easy mistake to make in macsoup if you are writing a new message without the group window open. -- Woody

The sliding clip has come off on a number of occasions, though thankfully I have not lost either of the clips. This tends to happen when one is putting the pannier on; on one of my bikes, the rack is designed in such a way that because of the height of the clip, it is almost impossible to clip under the rack... so I agree that the design is not brilliant. I don't think spares are available though it may be worth e-mailing Wiggle who sell a lot of DHB stuff - I suppose that is the price one must pay for buying something cheap. I've used the panniers on occasion without the clips and they didn't seem too bad; for a longer ride I suppose you could wrap round some bungee straps.
