One of the side-release buckles on my Ortlieb waterproof pannier broke. I could mail order the replacement from Ortlieb, but it’s $9 shipping on a $5 part and I’d rather just cycle to a local bike shop.
Anyone know a shop in the DC area with a good selection of Ortlieb repair parts?
When I needed parts for my Ortlieb I never found them at a bike shop, but never looked very hard, as I needed several parts (I had really done a number on my pannier) so I just asked Ortlieb to send them.
It was an involved repair, including weaving, so I took the pannier and the parts to Old Town Luggage. They did a great job.
