Thanks Rod. Yea, I understand that one part gets mounted to the bike, but
I don't see anyone selling that half separately. That leaves me with the
need to buy two decaleurs at $85 each. Not impossible but a lot more than
the $25 VO I was thinking about when I thought about a larger bag.

Versatility is wonderful. The rando bag is great, and I pretty much wear
it all winter for stuffing layers. But in the summer, I usually have the
small trunksack up front.
Here's another
Thanks, Steve, Ron, David. The information is very useful. I did not
understand how adjustable the Bertoud decaleur was, vs the VO. But the
questions just seem to get more complicated instead of less. I have the VO
rack with the integrated receiver on the Saluki, but no darn decaleur! It
the Berthoud decaleur comes off by just sliding the pin out. Easy peasy. I
think they are the best designed on the market.
You could have a frame builder make up a fixed position upper mount if you
switch the same bag between two bikes. I did that and it was cheaper than
buying another

Michael, I think you need to consider the Bertaud decaleur a permanent part
of one bike - you really can't easily move the bike side of the decaleur
from bike to bike - the bolt that holds it on becomes the handlebar bolt in
your stem. .

Yes, the arms pivot through a range of at least several cm. on the

The tricky part is inserting the rod, because you have to line up the
tubes on the bag with the tubes that are part of the

I would write Gilles Berthoud if I were looking for that. I wrote him
once back in 2005 via the web form with a question and he
I've never used a cotter pin. Stays put without on my bike , even on rocky

original alignment.
The adjustability of the Berthoud is so it can go on different bikes and
bags. This adaptor was designed and made for a

YMMV: I've lost the paper clip and had the rod start to back out on its
own.
any compentant rackmaker can make something similar. Mine was made by this

While you might be able to get the off-the-shelf options to work, it can be
a fun project to make your own decaleur.
There's a DIY decaleur flickr group at:

others out there too.

I know of a couple of rack makers who were not frame builders, but they
both seem to have left the business. I also know of
