QL1

  Description
Automatic closing and opening of hooks by lifting the pannier handle.
When the pannier is lifted by the handle, the two hooks on the reverse side are opened. Then the pannier can be hooked into the rack. Once you let go of the handle, the two hooks close around the rack tube.
All mounting components are set using allen key size 3
The hooks may be adjusted easily to the distance required and tightened in position with allen key size 3 (not included).
Continuous adjustability of the lower hook, horizontally and vertically on the elliptical rail, rotation in 45° steps.
Fixation of the lower section of the pannier is just as important as mounting in the top section in order to prevent the pannier from sliding and pivoting. The lower fixing hook serves for this purpose; it fixes the pannier to a vertical tube of the rack and secures it in the lower pannier area. The hook can be mounted to the lower or upper part of the elliptical rail, and can be changed fast in order to adapt it to all the different rack heights.
  Abrasion protection on front panniers.
The two models Front-Roller Classic and Sport-Packer Classic are provided with an abrasion protection underneath the lower hook rail. It prevents damage to the pannier material caused by front quick release axles, in case the pannier is mounted to a lowrider rack on the front wheel.
 

Suitable for racks with a tube diameter up to 16mm.
The QL1 hook system is adjustable using various inserts allowing compatible mounting on standard racks with an outside diameter of 8 -16 mm. The upper QL1 hooks can be reduced in size by inserting reduction parts into the hooks for 8mm or 11mm. The hook then closes perfectly around the rack tube and securely holds the pannier in its position.

 

Additional fastening straps (optional accessory) for QL1 system.
In particular cases it may be required to use additional straps for fastening the pannier to the rack. For this purpose we supply a flexible plastic strap which is mounted to the QL1 rail and the rack tube.
