Re: [RBW] Re: Non-leather saddle with saddlebag loops
I found this out the hard way when I installed on on a Flite: the downward angle (Brooks rails make much closer to a 90* bend at the rear) put the saddle onto the rear tire, even though the frame was 58 cm c-c and the tires 559X23". Does Carradice still make the original bolt-to-rails attachment that Rivendell sold many years ago? I did use that one on Flites with success.

[RBW] More about mounting saddlebags on saddles sans loops.
I just got a wonderful, beausag'd Hoss from a listmember and mounted it in place of the Camper on my trike's Turbo. Once again, no loops required: I just pulled the straps very tight so that their tension and width force the bag up to the widest separation between the saddle's rails, which of course means as high as possible. I am sure the straps will stretch a bit, but not enough to allow a great deal of sagging or -- another possible defect -- allowing one side of the bag to hang lower than the other. Again, if cinched very tightly, the two straps seem to counteract each other's desire to slip downward. I put the Camper on my Fargo's Flite; here again, no issues except having to use pliers to pull the straps tight enough. One may have to put new holes for an optimum fit, but I got around that by pulling hard. I also ensure that the seatpost straps are very tightly buckled: used my soldering iron to make another, neat hole in the strap. The Hoss is indeed huge. Perhaps the Camper is in mere measurement almost as big but in regard to useable space, the Hoss is far, far better.

[RBW] Interesting Porteur Solution
Came across this at a bike shop here in Davis. Interesting solution to making a bike into a porteur. The whole thing mounts via the stem--no stays or supports. http://www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy/6449727311/lightbox/ --Eric campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com www.wheelsnorth.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Interesting Porteur Solution
They are coming out of https://www.missionbicycle.com/ as far as I can tell, creative idea for lightish loads, but for $200 I can think of some other bar solutions I would prefer. Still, a good idea if it gets people to use their bikes to haul stuff. Rob - http://oceanaircycles.com/ On Dec 3, 5:06 pm, Eric Norris wrote: > Came across this at a bike shop here in Davis.

[RBW] Rivendell Garage Sale + After ride speical
Great looking day. Windy, chilly but with a hint of sun. Perfect for a Rivendell Garage sale. Tons of wheels and small items for sale. If you were early to the sale you were greeted by John who laid down the general idea of the sale. No pepper spray or mad running starts on this one, just general browsing and interesting interactions with people on the forum. It's great that I get to meet with actually people on the forum. Lots of nice components for super sweet deals. If you had a frame that needed to builds up you were in for a treat. All you needed at the sale for a fraction of the cost. Decided since I was in Walnut Creek I would do the ride over to Shell Ridge, got to convince Marc "Mr.Owlboogie" from the forum to ride with me. The chilly and windy weather worked to our advantage by keeping it cool and pushing us up as we climbing our way to Wall Point. We looped around towards Castle Rock, "successfully" riding over the mini streams along the way. Marc on his beautiful X0-1 on his slick commuter tires and jeans. I always tell people that riding in the dirt is never an issue with skinny tires unless you're riding fast. All in all great day. No one died, nothing caught on fire. Looking forward to riding with forum people more often.
