Hi!
The way I've done it is to thread a strap through the D-rings
horizontally, then bring the ends of the strap up to the saddle (over
the bag's opening flap) and pass them over my Nitto saddlebag grip's
handle. When tightened, the strap will pull toward the saddle and
up, lifting the bottom of
A noble endeavor.
It's a shame Paul doesn't have a silver (or at least gray) barrel
adjuster to go on its silver ano thumbies. Doesn't anyone make silvery-
gray-ish plastic? Must be hard to source.
I also wish DaVinci would make silver cable couplers.
Yours,

Very nice bike, but about 10 cm too small for me. For others who
might be pondering a purchase, I can add that I run the White hubs and
cranks on my Rambouillet. The crank and rings are absolutely super,
and way better looking than it appears in photos. You can run

I don't have a Saddlesack, but I use a Carradice Bagman support on my

I have the QR version and leave it on all the time, but the attachment
is only one hex screw, so it's not a lot of work to put it on every
time, either.

Hi,
I’ve problem with adjusting my rear derailleur. It’s a Shimano XT 9-
speed low normal (rapid rise) with XT 11-34 cassette and XT 9-speed
chain. All of those are quite new and shouldn’t be worn out. The cable
is new and just lubricated and the housing should be fine as well.
The shifters are

with this crowd.

From what I can tell you setup should work fine.
Have you checked whether the derailer hanger is bent? See
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/derailer-adjustment.html for how.
Then follow Sheldon's derailer adjustment procedure on the same page

Another thought:
Are you sure the shifters are 9-speed? I can coax 8 clicks out of my
Shimano 7 speed barends, so perhaps you have an 8 speed that gives you
9 clicks, but the amount of cable pull would be wrong, leading to mis-
shifts at one end of the cassette or the other.
This is mere idle
I have the identical problem on my Davidson, with a 12-34 9 speed
cassette matched to a 24-36-46 triple. The guys at the LBS tried
everything, replacing each part, replacing all the parts, lubing,
relubing, and readjusting the derailleur.
My problem is the same that you describe : the derailleur

If you can determine that the shifters are indeed 9sp, that the
derailleur hanger is not bent, that the derailleur and downtube cable
stop are snug, and that the cable is routed properly under the bb,
then I would check the cable pinch bolt. If the cable runs on the
wrong side of the bolt, it
OK, here's a real brain-tweaker. A retro-direct bike cannot be rolled
backwards under any circumstance. You have to pick up the rear wheel
to back up the bike. Wrap your head around that.

I have two Berthoud Saddlebags for sale. Both are Black. Both in used but
very good condition.

The other one is the banana bag model. Looks like this:

stuff I think Riv says something about making a bike 2X as useful.
I'd up the ante on that idea to like 10X as useful. It's amazing what
can be done with a cheap rack, a generic stuff sack bungee cords.
