I found this out the hard way when I installed on on a Flite: the downward
angle (Brooks rails make much closer to a 90* bend at the rear) put the
saddle onto the rear tire, even though the frame was 58 cm c-c and the
tires 559X23.
Does Carradice still make the original bolt-to-rails attachment
In an earlier post, I said that the Nitto saddlebag clap with quick-
release skewer (can’t remember official name of the product) only
works with Brooks saddles.
To clarify, it only positions the saddlebag where it should be
relative to the saddle, on a classic Brooks such as the Pro, B-17 and
so

And I say, this thing is da bomb. I have used it on tour, and like
everything Nitto, it's great.
BUT I think it only works with Brooks saddles.
Which is unfortunate.

I have used the Viva Saddlebag loops also. They aren't the
greatest,but they work. I pu them on my folder which I use when
travelling by train.

I've used the Nitto grip on Terry saddles, WTB saddles and an Avocet
saddle. So, yes, I'll be disagreeing with that part.
It is a great item. Have two, although neither is on a bike at the
moment.

Huh? The whole point of the Nitto handle is that it mounts to saddles
without bag loops. I used one on a Specialized saddle, and only sold it
here because I switched to Brookses.

Funny that this came up right after I got the following reply from Avocet. I
would guess that they won't be including loops, but you never know:
James,
Currently not in production but I plan to bring them back for this coming
spring. Send me your phone number so I can put you on my
I'd snag that Avocet Touring saddle that Robert Perks just posted.
I've been riding one recently and it is good...says the man with a

I'd use whatever saddle he likes with a Carradice Bagman QR. If he
has enough seatrpost showing, the SQR is also an option. It's
practical but less attractive.

Velo Orange sells, or used to sell, bolt-on saddle rail loops. I don't like
them, but they are better than the Cyclos.

The Selle Italia Man (or Lady) Gel Flow is a nice plastic bodied
leather topped saddle with loops.
