Chris, Which length bungee balls do you use? Seems the smallest I can find are the 6" variety. Like Zack I have used the Irish straps and they seem to work well...but the bungee cord idea seems like it would be a quick on and off set up. And like Zack the large saddle sack is where it's at. ~H

I used old toe straps. They work great at holding the bag in place on the rack. On Sunday, May 12, 2013 8:03:46 AM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Anne, I'll use the short Irish straps threaded through the leather slots > on the bottom to attache it to the rack, not to strap it on by going over

A bit tangential, but can anyone point me (with URL) to an online source for multi-packs of 12" long (or longer, up to 18") bungee ball cords that also sells 1.5" nylon webbing and cam buckles? Last Dec I got a good deal on the latter from Sierra, but it seems that they don't have the bungee balls

Another list member suggested using bungee balls--they're plastic spheres with a bungee loop that comes out through one end. They work great; I put a length of zip-tie at the other end and feed it through the slots at the bottom of the saddlesack. This way I can attach and remove the sack in less t

Deekun P, I have always lashed my Saddlesack large. I've always done it with zipties, but I am noticing that I've severely pulled the double-slots out of shape. The Saddlesack Large is not currently on any bike. I run the Saddlesack Medium on the Windsor. The rack didn't line up quite rig

Hi Patrick, The leather straps were sitting in my spare straps box and were the perfect length to allow the bag to sit flat on the mini rack and close to the seatpost. Now that think about it, I guess toe clip straps would have worked too. Interestingly, I carry Irish straps in the saddlesack

Patrick: I used large zip ties, which won't cinch to as tight a radius as the smaller ones will. Here's a recent picture from a s24o done yesterday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lumachrome/8732869528/in/photostream/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "

+1 for the leather straps under the bag to fix to the rack instead if zip ties. I use Carradice leather straps which are thinner and more flexible than the Acorn straps.  No sway whatsoever, even descending rough rocky trails as proven on the last RBW S24O.  Additionally, if you have the sma

I have an SS Large on my main rig, but I have never lashed it down, it just rides freely on top of the rack. I use a Nitto QR with it, so it's really easy to take off if I want to. The only reason you need the rack there is for a little extra support for the bag.The bag doesn't sway at

My Large Saddlesack is permanently on my bike. I was using zipties to attach bag to rack, but some people say that the zipties damage the bag, so currently it's only attached to the saddle, and it rests on the rack. I need to figure out some new attachment solution. I don't understand why one woul
