bought my first pannier.. went for a cheap dhb one. The clamp that attaches it to the rack isnt exactly a snug fit. In the picture below my rack must be an 8mm one (tubus fly).

Is it fairly standard for a bag to fit such a wide range of rack diameters and therefore seem a bit rattle-y on smaller diameter racks? should I send the bag back and get something else?

Bottom left pic shows why rattly. Ortleib come with inserts to fit smaller rails, might be something similar available to these, else you could tape old innertube to the rack to make the tubing thicker at attachment points.

yeah I know why its rattly, just seems odd to fit such a wide range of tube sizes. Could probably attach it round the toptube of my bike for a snug fit.

Good to know more expensive ones come with inserts, will just bodge this one for now though.
