Hey, we've got a full video going over Ortlieb panniers and accessories over here: (ua-cam.com/video/SIKZmvE5nkE/v-deo.htmlsi=Sy0Iv88m7iJgo6Lr) but if you're interested in learning more about some of the small bits, we'll absolutely keep that in mind for a shorter video! Thanks for the feedback!
Sadly I was hoping to have a little more concrete understanding on the planned rollout from the top but I'm not in that loop! I suspect they may roll it out as an option so you can maybe choose 2.1 or 2.2 in the near future and then maybe shift to QL2.2 over time. After filming I did have a realization that you could likely just upgrade the hooks on an older bag as the rails all appear to be identical and Ortlieb has a great track record or supplying repair/replacement parts. I would likely opt to upgrade my current bags if I can. But honestly I have had zero complaints about the QL2.1 system after many years of regular usage so I wouldn't let it delay getting new bags if you are in the market!
@@urbane-cyclist Yeah okay.. well only thing is the spacers you can lose them when on tour.. which means you have to bring backup spacers. would love to avoid that :)
While not entirely out of the question...you would have to really try to lose the shims IMO. I've been using these bags and selling these for 10+ years and I've never heard a complaint about losing any shims (if anything folks struggle to get them in and out sometimes!). If you did manage to lose a shim or two the bag still functions fine and worse case you might have a little more rattle on rough roads. That being said I liked the just fine QL2.1 but I think like the QL2.2 even better!
@@TheScatman89 I cut a small section of garden hose and then sliced it lengthwise. Then force it over the rack bar. Stays there permanently. Its a perfect fit and dampens any rattles.
How about some of the options that come with some of the bags (anti theft cables or anti abrasion) ?

Great explanation. Im looking for some new urban back rollers in 25. do you know if they will do 2.2 on the entire range all at once or?
