Hi All,
Attached is a photo of the rear of a saddle bag I first used as a teenager and is still more than usable now but I don't know how to best fix it to the bike.
I used to attach it to the seat post with a quick release strap through the leather strap on the left and the two straps on the right went through loops on the rear of the saddle. It's these upper straps that I have the problem with - I have seen the metal loops required but only on the back of a Brooks saddle and tried to get them separately from a LBS but to no avail. I looked on the Carradice website but their attaching methods seem to have completely changed.
I have no immediate need to use it but it would be nice to have the option, especially as, being a hard wearing Carradice the bag could yet out live me. I'm not going to switch to a Brooks, though many swear by them as I've new fiziks on both my road and mountain bikes.
Any suggestions as to how I can attach it, preferably via those 2 upper straps?
Thanks
Craig
