I have recently bought a Chrome Citizen bag from a friend, and i like it pretty much so far. But the one thing bothering me is the long excess strap. It seems like the plastic buckle at the end, is supposed to take care of this. But either i am too stupid to figure it out, or it is in someway not sitting properly in the buckle.
I have attached pictures and a drawing, trying to illustrate the problem. On the drawing the black part is the buckle seen from the top, if it was "cut in half" and the blue part is the strap.
It seems to me that the strap was previously fed in and out of the buckle. But i cant seem to figure out how.
Thanks in advance

First two pairs doesnt have a spring, afaik and looks like low quality. I dont like the "bar plug" styles either. But thanks for the answer.
Basicly im looking for something like shimano bl-r550, but with a more classic/retro look.

I'm rebuilding an old roadbike, and im almost done. I just need brake levers, which seems to be harder than expected.
I have changed the handlebars from drop bars, to northroad/porteur style like these:
But i'm having trouble finding some levers for it. I figured i have two possibilities:
1: "drop bar style" levers, mounted in the bend. But then they will be hard to reach.
2: Buy flatbar levers, and mount them just after the bend. This seems to be the best solution, but all the flatbar levers i can find, looks too new. I need some that matches an old benotto, with suntour groupset and tan walls. I have found some used levers, but they are so old, they dont have a spring in the lever, resulting in a squishy brake feel.
Any suggestions?

Sorry for not being clear.
Its the spacers between the cups im missing, and was missing on the omega crankset too.
My BB is 68mm wide. I read that this requires 1x2,5mm spacer on NDS and 2x2,5mm spacers on drive-side?And on a side note i dont really see what the spacers function is?

I have just bought a fsa k-force crankset for megaexo BB, but have met some difficulties installing it.
On park tools guide for installing it, i need some spacers on each side of the bottom bracket. http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/external-bearing-crank-systems-hollowtech-ii-megaexo-giga-x-pipe-x-type-campagnolo-ultra-torqueThese wasnt included, as i bought the crankset used. So i guess i will have to buy them at my LBS. But how important is the spacers?
When i removed my Omega crankset, there wasnt any spacers. And the crankset was mounted on the bike when i bought as new. So is the spacers really necessary? Or was the omega installed wrong in the first place?
Thanks! This worked, but for some reason it wasnt tight enough for the webbing to slide out after being tucked in.
So i fed it back again, but through the lower hole this time. Causing it to overlap the stitched part of the webbing. Now its loose enough for quick adjust, and tight enough to prevent it from sliding around.
Hope this makes sense in my crappy english. :)
