Adventure Panniers Hinges are crap!
 

Hello folks, Invested in these panniers last june/july. Hinges broke on both boxs week one. Total crap. Replacement costs 22 euro per hinge. 88 euro in total. Its not the money im mad because I knew better when I bought them but went ahead anyway. Was unable to await deliver of touratech panniers from Germany at the time. Any one got any suggestions re replacement hings. All alternatives so far look far too gaudy.

They are crap. I sold mine and bought some hand made ones from this guy.. http://www.projectvnd.com/
They are ace and have got real hinges. Ask Vern he might be able to point you in the right direction (or sell you something)
Good luck..
