It didn’t work for me because there wasn’t enough room between my saddle and
tire (fistful of seatpost) and the bag was squashed so I sold it onwards.

I had a similar problem. I mounted the hupe on my bike just for a short
ride to carry some bike parts. Jerry rigged a basket onto the hupe and
carried a bunch of sugino cranksets and other bike parts (including 12
other hupes). A bit over the weight limit of the hupe, but worked for the
ride. N
Brian,
I like the idea. Why not use a back rack? Or if you want something smaller
than there's the Carridice bagman which is a bit stronger with the stay's
attached at the seat stay's. my 2 cents.

But I would imagine that the repeated mounting and dismounting of the hupe
would really gouge up the paint on the frame.
Mine gouged the paint upon first installation and I don't use it.

My God. Just buy one of those decent bag supports from Peter White,
use the hupe for stirring paint or whatever and be done with it. As a
consumer product this thing ranks right up there with Thalidomide.

I bought David's & just tool dipped it. It's thick enough the loops
don't quite go all the way around the stays but "she'll do" for a
saddlebag support. For a really big saddlebag or one that's heavily
loaded, a bolt on rack is better.

Haha! My first thought was "tool dip?" that sounds like a job for bar

Some of the problems of mounting have to do with (1) the diameter of
the curves which snug around the stays; no matter how much coating
there is, you have to really careful to avoid the rigid metal pushing
right through it to contact the
You guys probably know this already, but they sell that rubber coating
stuff at the hardware store to re-coat the handles of hand tools. It
would probably be perfect to dip the hoop in and give it a second life
(and possibly double up on in the problematic spots).

After I gouged my Bleriot, I took a careful look at the Silver Hupe
while mounted on the bike and concluded the arms were designed too
close together around the mounting points, which makes it have a
tendency to pop off inwards when riding on bumpy roads. I took the
Hupe off, placed it in a vice,
David's ex-Hupe spent a happy winter on my Atlantis, supporting my
Hobo Bag rigged as a saddlebag. Just tossed it on (well, it's a bit
more than that but not much) & loaded her down. I'll take a look &
see if there is any paint damage I can lay off on the Hupe. My
Atlantis gets pretty well used
I had a Hupe, worked fine, never damaged stays, but I preventively wrapped
w/ inner tubes. I never had a lot of weight on it or used it that much.
Sold to another list member where I hope it's not a'gougin'.

With the Silver Hupe, for me the seat stay diameter made a difference.
On the Quickbeam, with single tapered seat-stays it gouged the paint a
bit and didn't want to fit around the larger diameter seat stays.
On the Rambouillet with double tapered seat-stays, noticeable smaller
diameter, it fit jus

It's the rubber coated metal ends, that poke through the rubber, that
take the fun out of installation [and the paint/primer/and steel too].
