Vaude Silkroad Plus (i-Rack)

well made bike pannier bag , and worth paying for , the screws that hold the bottom plate just needed tightening up as little and it becomes very sturdy on my bike

Fell to pieces on 2nd use. I was crossing a cobblestone viaduct at the time (not an excuse). The nuts holding bag in base had detached & the bag fell off my bike landing just short of the canal. As the bag was carrying my essentials (phone, wallet, keys, tools, pump, lock, waterproof) it could have been worse if it fell in the canal. I reviewed this area & decided to pay the higher end of the market as this product had the specifications I wanted although much more expensive than competitors. So for this to happen on its 2nd use all for the sake of a few lock nuts which cost pennies, is shocking. Really, really disappointed in quality versus cost. I have contacted seller & am awaiting a reply.

Great bag only negative so far rear light loop is too low and thin.
