Re: [RBW] Lightweight chi-chi saddlebag of about 9 liters / 61 ci

Bags x Bird make the Piccolo which sounds Ike it could work. You have your choice of fabrics, colors, etc. Side pockets but they lay flat.  The bags are made to order so maybe those can be deleted? I have their Goldback bag and the quality is very high. The costs reflect that… PICCOLO 9.5W bagsxbird.com Robert Tilley San Diego, CA Sent from my iPhone On May 22, 2023, at 2:03 PM, Patrick Moore <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote:  Does anyone make a lightweight (nylon and plastic instead of canvas and leather and metal) transverse saddlebag about the size of the Junior or Barley (would prefer no side pockets) that also looks good? I'd prefer a transverse style but might consider a bikepacking style if it's easy to get to the contents. I've been attaching a Junior to the gofast at the start of the cold season and, now that it's time to go back to the bike-kit seat wedge I think I'll miss the volume. But I'd like something more sleek in all the various meanings of this term. A vanity bag for a vanity bike, sure, but why not? ------------------------------------------------------------------ In other news, just installed a NOS silver 3-speed quadrant shifter (tt mount) meant for AW type gears to replace the NOS 2-speed TF shifter for shifting the TC hub (get that?). The TC had its original driver swapped out for an AW driver, and the AW driver means that the hub now requires considerably more cable pull to shift securely to Low. The new shifter provides that by using the Low/first gear shift position instead of the Middle/second gear shift position to hold the clutch securely in place for low 86.54%) gear.  But this nice 3 speed shifter will also shift the 2 speed TF: I'll just use the High/3rd gear and Middle/2nd gear positions. And I've finagled the 25.4 mm clamps for the shifter and roller so that they go easily on and off the 28.6 mm tt and dt (roller) so that I can easily switch between TC and TF wheels and to the original Phil/Dingle wheel. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
