After losing a bag on a relatively tame trail at the park this weekend, I'd like to just replace the clips with something that closes, so the bag can't go tumbling. They need to go onto a 10mm rack tubing.

I see that Ortlieb sells replacements, but I don't really want to add the rail if I can avoid it. Something like this would probably be perfect, but they are no longer available: https://www.bikebagshop.com/lone-pea...et-p-1675.html
I have the same panniers I think. The Nashbar Front Panniers 14L? I use them on the back as well.

Anyway, I'm not home to take a photo but I use the S-Biner Microlock from NiteIze. $5 for a 2-pack at REI. One loop goes through the eyelet of the hook and the other loop onto the rack.

Works great fro a cheap fix and easier to remove the panniers still.
