I’m not much of a do-it-yourself fellow when it comes to our bikes. My LBS built a back wheel for the Steed last week, for which I am grateful. But some things can be tackled with a large hope of success.
This seam on one of my panniers came apart after a while. It was too old for the warranty, so I mended it with some type of super glue. It held and I thought my problem was solved.
But after a while, even the glue failed and I was faced with the same problem once more.
I decided to try a leather thread, needle and thimble to fix it.
No longer waterproof, but it should hold better than the glue. We will see.
Stay happy,
Impressive work.
Couldn’t have done it without the thimble. The material out of which the panniers are made is tough, naturally.
It made my hands hurt just looking at the work.
