I was fitting a set of Givi pannier frames to the XTR and overtightened one of the bolts which holds the little button that secures the bottom of the pannier box. The button has cracked into three pieces. Here's the one on the other side, item 11 on the instructions:



Apparently, Givi don't supply separate items or spares (according to the place I got the frames from). Does anyone have one lying around that they might swap for postage and a couple of beers?

Why not carry that beer`s and take a little trip to local Metalworkers service,where guys make for you couple of that buttons for just some bucks...

Sadly there is no one round here who does that kind of thing. None that I know of anyway.

I have bitten the bullet and ordered an Altrider Monokey mounting kit from Nippy Normans. It's the kit to adapt a generic rack to take a Monokey case. It's 15GBP, but I get two of the little bobbins, a plastic catch and a few odd nuts and bolts. That will mean a few spares to go in the toolbox, which is never a bad thing.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The kit arrived in a couple of days, and it's all good. I have the proper bobbnin back on, and a few spare bits and bobs to pop in the tool roll. Happy bunny.
