Double-posting from the iBoblist, in case anyone on this saddlebag-heavy list has any ideas.
Thanks. Actually, for a Carradice saddlebag support: https://carradice.co.uk/shop/accessories/saddle-bag-rack/ It won't work well as designed with VO loops on my Flite saddle (it would work but tilt the bag severely) but I've found what I think is a good workaround. But for the workaround to work the support has to held off at the bottom by about 4-5" from the seatpost. I'd be grateful for others' ideas and photos. Aesthetics are important, as is sturdiness and easy on/off. Thanks. Aside, anecdote, funny, may be ignored: I tried it with the as-designed prongs, meant to fit into B17 loops and support the support. They probably would have worked with the VO loops, but again this would have tilted the shelf sharply. The prongs were bent at the tops toward the support and away from the seat rails. I thought, "Surely they would work better if reversed to act more like hooks?" So I did that; hard work since they're thick metal. Nope. The bend is meant to press against the saddle rails and in doing this hold the support to the saddle securely. Oh well. But straps on the top rail will work better, with said standoff. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
