Well, that's disappointing. Noticing the seat-tube strap on my Restrap frame bag was a little slack during some post-ride fettling, I pulled it tight....and the buckle had snapped. Not a disaster, I'll sort something out. It's a five year old bit of luggage that's lived permanently on bikes since its purchase, so I won't be engaging in indignant warranty claims (I'm not one of those wankers...). Stuff breaks. But I've always felt the buckles on the seat and down tube straps were the weak points on this bag. There are better ways of doing this - which might inform the kind of repair I undertake.
