None I know of, other than be sure you've got the right one in the right size. Many people use a paper clip as a cotter pin, but they don't last long in my experience. A Clippiola circular paperclip, on the other hand, works great and lasts forever. You need an awl to make the holes in the leather strip in the back. I've used the awl/glass picker tool on my Swiss Army Knife to do that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] anybody use a Berthoud Decaleur?
I use one. The only thing I hated was the paper clip that holds the rod in. I use a rubber O-ring inbetween the center tube one the tube attached to the bag that is on the bent end (if that makes sense). Eliminates rattle and pape rclip is no longer needed.

Re: [RBW] anybody use a Berthoud Decaleur?
Let's try this again (hit send too soon). I use one. The only thing I hated was the paper clip that holds the rod in. Instead I use a rubber O-ring between the center tube attached to contraption bolted to stem and the tube attached to the bag that is closest to the bent end of the rod (if that makes sense). That way I can remove the rod and the bag without having to remove the O-ring. Eliminates rattle and paper clip is no longer needed.

Re: [RBW] anybody use a Berthoud Decaleur?
Except you still need to remove the clip to remove the bag. The O-ring does not need to be removed and on top of that eliminates rattle of rod in tubes. (Of course maybe the cippiola clip helps with rattle too, not sure about that. Never tried) On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 2:36 PM, Steve Palincsar palin...@his.com wrote: On Mon, 2010-11-15 at 14:16 -0800, Clayton Scott wrote: Let's try this again (hit send too soon). I use one.

Here is picture of O-ring setup: http://www.flickr.com/photos/claytonesseff/4780906703/in/set-72157624467335916/ That should explain what I was trying to say.

For those unfamiliar with the Berthoud decaleur, it should be pointed out, what's show here is a very special custom setup, not the standard decaleur.

Re: [RBW] anybody use a Berthoud Decaleur?
Yes, it was Tony Pereira. Thanks for the compliments. And yes, it is a modified version that ommits the crossbar that bolts onto the stem. Bag to decaleur attachment is the same.
