Wow!  Carrying all those books in a saddlebag is amazing.  I don't have
great wheel clearance so I use panniers, but it's nice to have that option.

Alternatively, the Tektro fork mounted cable stop 1277A allows the same 
cable and housing as a caliper brake as it stops just above the brake. I 
find the brake also works better having the stop just above the brake 
rather than way up high.

Brilliant, just saw that same set-up on Bags X Bird's site. Thank you much.

Re: [RBW] Re: Best all-around useful saddlebag?

[Chris K]

Question - can you run a handlebar bag, or a saddlebag on the handlebars 
bikepacking-style, if you have canti brakes? How does one negotiate the 
cable?

Re: [RBW] Re: Best all-around useful saddlebag?

[Patrick Moore]

I've owned 2 medium Saddlesacks and 1 large, 1 of the mediums and the large
older models. Yes, the fabric on the newer medium is not as good as that on
the earlier M and L. Still, I doubt the new and current one will fail in my
lifetime.

I've owned a couple of smaller Acorn bags including 1 Junior/Cadet-sized
saddlebag. They were good, but I didn't think that the fabric was better
than Carradices, at least recent Carradices, not to mention the stalwarts
from 30 years ago; Carradice did go through a a period in the '00s or early
'10s where the material and leather was much poorer.

Does anyone still have one of the Cartwright series? I owned an Adam and a
huge Hoss; nice, but more like Carradices in better quality than like the
Saddlesacks.
