Fitting Best Practices

Make sure the saddle sits comfortably close but not too tight. Fasten the central strap to keep the panniers steady and tie the leather cords securely around the hooks so nothing slips. After fitting, check how it moves and feels; the saddle should allow free movement. Take a brief walk to test the fit before heading out on a longer journey and adjust as needed as time goes on.
