I would recommend having a bagman support or other rack to support the bag under that lashing scheme. It depends on how big the bag is and how heavy the cargo, but with bumpy, all-weather riding the leather straps will stretch/deform and eventually tear. You really want to have an attachment that accomodates the natural bend of the straps. I have used Cyclo bag loops on loopless saddles before, which work OK, and a Nitto quick-release saddlebag attachment, which is awesome.
-Matt P.S. I have a few carradice bags, mostly old (70's/80's) some newer (<10 years) and recently bought a small barley bag for my girlfriend's bike. It is every bit as good as the old ones, if not better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
