Ortlieb Brompton Bag

[suecsi]

Stuck this in commuting as I figured it would get picked up by the Brompton users on here .....

I have managed to pick up a lightly used Ortlieb Brompton bag, and the pockets are detached inside the bag at the moment. I can't seem to figure out how they attach to the rear of the bag. Has anyone got any advice or done this?

The top two bars should be on the back of the main bag, then on the back of the pocket is a pair of bars. Squeeze the ends of the bars on the pocket so the tabs at the end fit into the two holes. Then repeat for the other set

Excellent, many thanks! Any idea what the little plastic flaps at the top of each pocket are for, other than stiffening the top? I will have to watch what I put in them, they are huge but don't zip up like my S bag pockets. Good size for my coffee cup though, I have my little routine going where I stop for coffee and cycle to the office with the cup in the right hand pocket (a tight squeeze on the S bag).

THis video is of the pannier, but think of the pocket as a small pannier and you will get the idea!

Thanks Cunobelin, all sorted now. Much more room for my coffee cup. Does feel a bit strange compared to my S bag, I feel like it is moving a bit at the top, but I think it is just an optical illiusion as I am not used to a bag that high. Plus with the bumps in the roads .....

Aren't Ortlieb bags very waterproof? Like submersible? Skip the coffee cup and just pour the coffee into the pocket.

And get a long straw.
