This is what I did to attach a Goldback Niño saddlebag to a Berthoud
saddle. The straps on the Niño were too far apart to fit the slots in the
frame of the saddle, so I zip-tied a piece of 15mm diameter "carbon fibre"
tubing (given how cheap it was, I strongly suspect it's actually
fibreglass)
Hi Roberta,
Wow, this is excellent, I recently installed a brooks flyer on one of my
klunkers and discovered what a PAIN it is to get the saddle bag in the
saddle loops...esp with poor eyesight. I am off the woods to find just the
right stick! Thanks for posting it up!

Wow!So many great ideas that enhance my simple idea. I'm glad it
got your imagination juices flowing!

Very cool Roberta!
One can also use 6" or 9" voile straps instead of zip ties and/or leather
bag straps.
Voile straps are kinda grippy and you can add a few wraps of duct tape to
the middle of the dowel to prevent side-to-side slippage.
I was inspired to a solution like Roberta's by the
Clever hack Roberta!
I have the same bag, decades older, on my daily commuter. Since I park in a
garage at work that's pretty safe, I use a stuff sack for my cargo and take
all contents with me when I get to work (I'm a good bit west of your
17th!). I put my shoes and helmet in the bag during
That's pretty cool. I too find that messing with the saddlebag is a
nuisance. Esp. if you ride 2 bikes, and you like having one bag with all
your stuff. This makes it EZ to move that bag back'n'forth.

What a sweet hack! Aside from being cheap, I dare say it's also better than the
Nitto piece. I've tried them several times - several of you own the ones I sold
- and that metal thingy sticking up with the bag removed is a bugger. If I
wasn't kicking it swinging a leg over the saddle then I was
Great idea!
Thanks for sharing it.

Actually, I was going to do an oversized washer, but found just having a
long enough dowel works. I do think if you rides with more movement than I
do, it would be a good idea (I don't know anything about rare earth
magnets).

this is really quite smart...one could sink a rare earth magnet into the
ends, and slap on an oversized washer, if you're like me and end up
swinging your bag around a lot on bumps and corners.
