Great! Let’s swap.As you may have seen in another post of mine, I realized I do not have (or cannot find) the ENO lockring tool to remove the rings. I plan to order one online, but would not be able to ship out those 50/34 rings until at least a week.Is that ok? If you are in a rush, I can try to s

Eh, I don't think the loops on the Acorn Large Saddlebag will reach my rails. :( I have the old, 2016-era Rivendell stock saddle with the weird ovular loop on the back; it's not wide enough to use as loops for this bag (or maybe any bag) and it also blocks things. On Friday, December 15, 2023

I position my saddles far back on longish rails -- Flite + Dura Ace 7410 IIRC; perhaps strapping bags to rails of saddles mounted forward might not work as well; but then again you can always make a stand-off and someone -- forget whom -- made thick and nice looking leather standoffs, but I've used

FWIW: Alternatives to integrated loops that don't require big bolt-on carriers: neither work as well as loops but might be preferable to jettisoning an otherwise favorite saddle. I prefer #2 to losing my beloved original issue Flites and even prefer it to #1. #1 VO bolt-on loops are still availabl

The Ritchey Vector Wing saddles have stealth saddlebag loops (because the wing doubles as a loop). They're not quite "proper" bag loops, but they work just as well. Much lighter than a Brooks, and the white version is currently $24, which is MUCH cheaper than a Brooks or Rivendell: https://ritc

Looking for a cheap saddle with proper bag loops - the new Rivendell one or perhaps one of the V-O ones that have loops. Hopefully someone's got a saddle they don't use or didn't work for their body that they'll let go cheapish! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the G
