Yes - medium SaddleSack on haulin Colin rack. It wasn't ideal, but it worked out fine for a few months of commuting detail. I used a strap to hold the dowel up. I find the shopsack & basket a more versatile and aesthetic solution. At this point it is back on the saddle where it "belongs". Bria

I've used my small Saddlesack on my Pass & Stow porter. It was OK. Great rack and great bag, but I like the bag a lot better back on the saddle where it was made to go. A medium would fit for sure. I've considered a shop sack more than a few times, so I'm glad that's an option. You might also co

I have been using a Saddlesack Large with a Nitto Saddlebag Grip mounted to a Cetma 5-rail front rack, it works wonderfully. The Saddlebag Grip mount that usually mounts to saddle rails just barely mounts to the back of the Cetma Rack if you use small enough bolts. I have been using this combin

I haven't done the setup yet, but one configuration on my list of things to try is running my Saddlesack Large on the Nitto Platrack. The two little leather straps that normally go through the Brooks saddle loops will be hanging there with nothing to grab onto. For loopless saddles, there's th

I believe that is a Haulin' Colin rack. Pass-n-Stow racks attach at the fork dropouts. Dan > On Jul 7, 2014, at 8:04 AM, Shoji Takahashi wrote: > > Stonehog/Brian Hanson has a saddlesack on a porteur rack (Pass-n-Stow rack, I > think): > https://www.flickr.com/photos/stonehog/10339803905/in/

I believe that's a haulin colin rack, attaches to mid fork braze ons rather than dropout eyelets. It has a slightly smaller footprint than a pass and stow or vo porteur. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

I use the Large shopsack. It fits great when it is full, and folds up nice and flat when it's empty

Minus the rack, I've used the Large... https://www.flickr.com/photos/ericgnolan/8684988096/ They're nice bags, but I imagine a bag that opens from the back would work a bit better on the front. Best, Eric Indpls -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R
