DIY Pannier Straps.
« on: November 05, 2015, 07:12:13 AM »
Decided it was time to have some carrying straps for the Panniers on my Stelvio, got fed up with carrying them by the Latch Loops!

I always opt for making stuff myself if possible.

Got some inch webbing from B&Q (think Home Depot if you're in the U.S.), a length of Seatbelt, and some 3/4" Velcro.
Had the Belt and Velcro already, webbing cost £7.

Daughter has a nice Bernina Sewing Machine (ask your Wife/GF/Granny), that's all I needed . . .

     Cool. It is good to see that there are still people who make things themselves, and in your case very successfully.

I just bought a sewing machine. I've sewn straps and such in the past and find sewing to be a handy skill.

Definitely is handy.   :thumb:

These type of straps are quite common and readily available elsewhere of course, but I'd rather spend the £30+ cost of them on Fuel    :cool:
