That's the rack I have. The panniers still feel lose when I pull the cord down and place it in the V-notch. Maybe it's because they're empty? Also feels like it's going to snap.
Should the panniers be on the front, middle or back of the rack? They're smaller panniers and you can fit two on one side just to show how small they are. Or would this depend on weight?
