  • Bodge suggestions for these struts/Bagman? Need to stop it bouncing around. Can't order parts online or the official struts as they won't get here in time (unless I get something off Amazon which I'd rather avoid). There are Wickeses etc. within riding distance though.

    (the little silver ones probably won't work, there's no way to tighten them down onto the struts)

    I have bolts, nuts, zip ties, duct tape, hose clamps, etc.

  • I take it you haven't got any of those nifty connectors from a tortec rack knocking about? I've used them and p clips to make my own version. LBS has a box of old rack hardware so you might have luck with yours.

  • Or bodge something with a tent peg, cable ties and maybe bit of inner tube to increase friction/grip at the joins. If it's only temporary and not really load bearing...

  • Fish mouth a piece of pvc pipe so that it fits against seat post, thread long strap/bungee through leather tab on bag, through pipe, around seat post, back through pipe, through leather tab and snug up so that it functions as both stand-off and stabilizer.
