Does anyone have a 650b rear wheel, 130 spacing, they would have an interest in trading for a similar wheel with a red Chris King hub and a Synergy rim? Or selling. The Chris King is beautiful, but I spend a lot of time coasting, and the sound makes me crazy. I have a Heron road that I love

This is true of Carradice specifically, I've had a couple with comically short straps that were a pain in the patooty to work with. Longer straps are the ticket there, although this doesn't really matter for the OP. Sackvilles fit Brooks and Berthoud. On Sunday, December 20, 2020 at 1:12:37

Forgot to add that, hell, you don't even need loops, as long as your saddle is high enough above your tire. I've carried 30 lb and heavier loads in Carradices and Baggins and Sackville bags strapped directly to the rails of my original edition Flites. Note: Strapping bags to saddle rails means

FWIW, one can make most saddlebag straps work with most mounting loops, be these integrated with the saddle or bolt on, simply by using longer straps. I've done this umpteen times (umpteen comes after 19 and before 20). Toe straps work well, at least leather ones, but there are all sorts of long,
