Re: [RBW] Saddle Sack Med and Leg Strike

Yes, I'm almost certain the rubbing factor was once included in the description; if not, Grant wrote about it somewhere in relation to the saddle sacks. I went looking for the medium write-up on the website but they are not listed at the moment for some reason. On Monday, May 14, 2018 at

Re: [RBW] Saddle Sack Med and Leg Strike

I have used a cork from a wine bottle, cut down a bit and with a piece of thin wire run through it (and through the leather strap) to help it stay in place. I don't mind it lightly brushing my legs as I pedal, but I wanted just a little bit more offset. Andrew P. in SLC, UT On Monday, May

Re: [RBW] Saddle Sack Med and Leg Strike

I've seen folks use various tube-shaped items as the standoff: pvc pipe, garden hose, any random strap, where Acorn uses a leather "cuff". Since the bag-to-seatpost strap is too short with the standoff, I use an old toe strap (from strap and clip pedals) to replace it. On Mon, May 14, 2018 at

Re: [RBW] Saddle Sack Med and Leg Strike

Toshi, this seems to be the best (cheapest) solution and it looks like it works great! I'll be trying this out. Thanks, Vincent On Monday, May 14, 2018 at 2:50:06 PM UTC-7, ttoshi wrote: > > If you want to see some pics, just search Acorn bag with standoff. The > only caveat is that you

Re: [RBW] Saddle Sack Med and Leg Strike

If you want to see some pics, just search Acorn bag with standoff. The only caveat is that you might need to extend the strap that you use to attach the bag to the seat tube. Toshi On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 7:11 AM, Toshi Takeuchi wrote: > One potentially cheap solution is to

I use a saddle mounted bag support. Here's a MUSA one: http://www.theyellowbirdsociety.com/tailfeather/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Re: [RBW] Saddle Sack Med and Leg Strike

I've used saddlebags since Rivendell started selling them circa 1994, and almost all of mine have lightly bumped my legs. I simply ignored the sensation, and after a few miles I didn't even notice it. Carradices, Cartwrights, Sackvilles, clones of various makes -- I much prefer that slight contact

Re: [RBW] Saddle Sack Med and Leg Strike

One potentially cheap solution is to mount a tube at the back of the seat post to push the bag back an inch or two. One iteration of the Acorn bags used to have a leather tube to do just what I suggested above. Toshi On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 7:08 AM, Joe Bernard wrote: >

Longer straps at the saddle plus mounting the front strap to the rack instead of seatpost should help. Another solution if you keep the bag on the bike all the time is to mount the bottom to the rack with zipties, skipping the the saddle mounting altogether. The final (expensive) solution is

Hello! I notice the back of my quadracep hits the back of the Medium Saddlesack when riding. Any solutions to this, aside from longer straps to make it sit farther back? If I removed the rack it sits on I wouldn't be able to sit it farther back, so it seems I can't use it without the rack
