Segway (tm): can any of youse Dahon users who use Moustache bars tell me
the measurement from the center of the stem clamp to the tip of the
uttermost point on the bar's curve?
The Ritchey bullhorns work OK, but if I could get sufficient reach with
M-bars and road levers attached at the bar's apex
I got lost in the details of your question, but I think the sway alone
would be problematic and the weight on the straps extensive. It is the one
saddlebag Rivendell says a rack is required. I'd go with them on that.
With abandon,

My wife and I went touring in Europe with a pair of Carradice Camper
Longflap saddlebags (hers was a lowsaddle longflap) each with no support
underneath. I cut plastic stiffeners to fit the inside of the bags to
prevent them sagging overmuch, and that worked without any problems. We
were using
Thanks, Patrick and Nick. I've used the Medium as well as a Hoss and a
Camper Longflap with no support, but I daresay that there is a weight at
which those straps start to get strained. Perhaps best would be a Camper in
back and the current Nelson LF on the bar.

It seems to me I've see racks of various types for such bikes. Yes. Just
checked Bike Friday's site, and there's
this: https://www.bikefriday.com/bicycles/new_world_tourist. Perhaps it's
comparable or there is a similar solution that is? If you're carrying that
much weight/volume, I'd go with a
I placed a mustache bar (old design) over the stem clamp on my Dahon Curve D3
and got 24" from the tip of a shoved back B17 to the outer edge of the bar
curve. I would recommend trying it, m-bars often require a shorter reach than
expected. If that doesn't work I can sell you the extended thingy
Thanks, Joe, that's very helpful. The brake hoods (I'd use road levers
placed on the forward curve) should give me 2 or 3 more inches, so just
right. I shouldn't need that extension.
We'll see. I've been spending hand over foot or head over heels or ass over
teakettle this month, and I need to sto
Hello,
What about one of those seat post mounted racks- the ones that clamp to the
post only. That should interfere with the fold, would support the bag, and is
cheap. Something like this:

Thanks. In fact, I have one of those, but the problem with it is that it
doesn't work well with panniers; and if I install a rack on the Dahon, it
will be for the purpose of using my Ortliebs.

Oh, and the Bagman and such things are too light to support the sort of
loads I mean to carry: 30+ lb; though for short distances.
