[RBW] Re: Saddlebags and smaller bikes
I'm on 48cm-ish frames. I ran the Barley for a while and gave up on it. Too much droop and too inconvenient. The Super C version might have made me a little happier. I've switched to an Ostrich handbar bag with decaleur and mini-front rank. More convenient and it works well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

The set screws are Torx 6. I learned that today. My dad drilled them out and retapped the holes. Nothing moves on that rack now. Doesn't look as pretty, but I really don't care.

What about incorporating the Nitto Saddlebag Grip to move it back a bit?

Re: [RBW] Re: Saddlebags and smaller bikes
See earlier in this thread ( or maybe even an earlier thread). I had the same problem, and Loctite didn't solve it. But someone (don't remember who) said you just need to grind a little slot in the Bagman tubing, and it holds perfectly.

[RBW] Re: Saddlebags and smaller bikes
johnb If the swaying is the most objectionable problem, look into stabilizing the bag with some shock cord to an attachment point lower and to the rear. A D-ring on the bag and a small hook at one of the drop-out eyelets (they're made for panniers) provide the attachments. Cord tied to the D-ring with a hook at the end, similar to a bungee hook, and voila, stability restored. May need some fiddling with the length of the cord to get the optimal amount of tension. Cheap experiment to try before changing bags or going the rack route. dougP On Jun 7, 10:26 am, johnb jbust...@gmail.com wrote: I am challenged by short legs.
