Default Easybracket Issues

I have a set of Easybrackets that I use to attach bags to my bike. I have noticed that once hooked onto the bike, there is about an inch or so travel at the bottom of the bags. This is worrying me as they swing in very close to the rear axle.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so how did they fix it?

Regards

Rob

Replace your Easybrackets with Bubba's quick release system.

Try adding a washer behind each mounting stud. If you still have the problem, call the customer service number or Email them, they are really good people and will work with you.

There is some play on mine also, on a heritiage, but I haven't had any problems with it.

Thanks old timer, had thought of that. plus also mading up some new posts as I have access to the machinery.

Just wanted to know if it was a common problem.

Will keep trying
