Jeff,
I will try to find the camera this weekend and post pictures. My wife and
I have toured over 2000 miles with this setup. I haven't found any
problems, other than there needs to be a slight mismatch between the rack
and the decaleur bar pins spacing. This helps to keep the bag in
Bill, actually wasn't badmouthing your setup. Lone Peak makes great bags -
I have a pair of their panniers, and they made my first trunk bag. The
Alta has a bar clamp - if you're using it, you have the bag well secured at
top. My point was about using the Carradice tall rando bag on the VO

Decaleur came from Boulder cycles (renehersestore.com). The
ps - this is using the Acorn tall rando bag, which is the same height as
the Bertoud 28 bag, and I have 15-16cm of stem above the headset.

Jeff,
I have a 64 cm Ram with a VO Randonneur Front Rack with Integrated Decaleur
and a Lone Peak H-100 Alta Handlebar Pack. I used P clips for the rack.
The bag is standard height. This works for me because I have STI and can't
read the map case without my glasses.
The Ram is a great
Have the same VO rack on my daughter's bike and we use the decaleur to
attach a rattan basket, for which it works great.
But think about this for your 12-liter bag - the entire vertical mass of
your loaded bag would act in torsion on the your fork bolt, and gravity
would help (in a bad way).
Hi Ron,
I forgot to ask, will the Bertoud horizontal decaleur work with the Nitto
Delux stems you think? Thanks

Ron,
thanks for the nice write-up.
Do you have issues with reaching into the handlebar bag and having the
bottom be really far away. For example, while riding, could you reach a
ClifBar that had gone to the bottom? Also, do you mind the top of the bag
not being close to the handlebar
Hi Bill,
I was thinking about the p clips. It definitely has a very clean look to

Thanks a lot Ron. I actually tried to buy the Acorn tall rando bag
yesterday but was too slow. Those are hard to get a hold of. I go to the
Rene Herse shop quite a bit so I'll take my bike and try it out. Thanks
for the info.
