Title: Orlieb Rollers
Post by: Matt2matt2002 on January 24, 2013, 11:02:26 AM

Just bagged a couple of front bags ( ;D) off ebay.
Look like mint condition so very pleased with myself
 :D
However
 :(
I must have taken a silly pill this morning coz I cannot work out how the tops should close
Is there a clue in the title 'Roller'?
Do I just roll the top closed a couple of times?
Is there a trick to this?
I have checked the Ortlieb site and just see nice pictures front and back but cannot work out what has been done with the top.

Thanks folks

Matt (It's in the bag)

Yep!  Fill a bag to the top of the stiff inner board,roll over top tight at least twice to make it waterproof,fasten side buckles together (the ones attached to the top that you have rolled)  then strap this down with front to back strap. Fill a bath with warm water and push bag under to test. Maybe take camera/laptop/wallet out on first try ;)
