RE: Seat lock with panniersAfter the talk about the rubbers I checked mine
today.
One was stopping the pannier rail from rubbing on the bodywork.
The other one was just above the passenger footrest doing nothing while the
pannier rail rubbed on the bodywork !
I have now moved it.

  Subject: The mystery of the keys


  Actually, talking of panniers, ignitions and keys, I found myself in a
very intriguing, if uncomfortable situation that morning my bike failed to
start.

  The panniers were on, the saddle was off and my friend was recharging my
battery from the house via an extension lead.
  Imagine my dismay when we start the engine, it kicks in, and I'm
delighted - only to realize that I then have to somehow keep the engine
running (for fear that there is only enough juice in the battery after this
short charge to start it once!) AND put the saddle back. First of all, you
can't replace the saddle without taking off the panniers. Secondly, I
couldn't take the panniers off without taking the keys out of the ignition,
as both my ST keys are on the same ring (silly me, I guess). If I'd
jump-started the bike or done it through cable jump leads, I would have been
even worse off.
  If you're now thinking - stupid man, why not just push the saddle down
into position - that's what I meant earlier, that it took me ages trying to
do that, until I realized that there was some kind of rubber interface
missing.
  The moral of the story must be to keep both keys separate (is that a pain,
or what?) and to do everything else in some clear and logical order - don't
ask me which one though.

  Thanks for the tips about where to put my rubbers - I'll try experimenting
this weekend.
  I think I have some WB40 somewhere!!

  Tim
