Time to put the Dearstalker on, I'm trying to track down some replacement disk
lock parts. Have had to get a new rack recently but the screws in one of the
disk locks has rusted so much that when I tried to unscrew it I just stripped
the head off, grrrrr.

My LBS got some for me, I think through Fisher but I can't be sure.

Also St John Street Cycles (sjscycles.com) who actually list them in the
online catalogue, though you might have to buy a complete set with
hooks.

While we're on the subject, does anyone have any clever ideas for
replacing the disk lock mechanism with something a bit less - er -
rubbish? I really like my Karimor panniers but the disc lock is so, so
stupid. Flimsy, apt to work loose, and worse still it means you can't
move the panniers from bike to bike AND the disk bit gets in the way if
you try to mount non-Karrimor panniers. I'm tempted by the bargain
waterproof Karrimors at Wiggle, but unless I can avoid the disc lock I'm
not getting them.
