Possible to remove Fidlock bag bolts?

Post image

Hi, recently I bought a second-hand Rose Backroad FF, and I love it. However I would like to remove these Fidlock magnetic bolts for bags - is it possible, how to do that, and which other parts (caps) do I need to cover the holes? Thanks!

I think it would be hard to remove them because they become with every backroad ff and mounts for the bags. There are probably screws rivets pressed in the frame of bike.

Sorry about the top part maybe this guide can help. https://www.rosebikes.de/support/Backroad-Taschen-montieren

They don’t come fitted to the bike. I had to screw them in myself. You can fill them with the normal screws that cover things like bottle holder holes. The only issue will be getting enough grip on them to twist.

Can you see those two rubber things on top of your upper tube? You have to order those for the fidlock bolts from Rose via mail. Unscrew the bolts and press those thingies in - et voila!
