I have loops on saddle, so that's not the problem, I just can't figure out how to attach the leather straps to them. </p> <p>There are four straps, which don't seem to connect to each other. or to go around the pouch.</p> <p>It's the cambridge cape, so polyeste. I can fit it in the pouch, but then nothing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17794#post-251749 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 10:35:11 +0000 Arellcat 251749@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The leather straps are meant to go through the loops on the back of your saddle, if you have such a saddle, or a saddle outfitted with <a href="http://www.spacycles.co.uk/m2b0s73p2978/SPA-CYCLES-Saddlebag-Loops">loops clamped to the rails</a>, if you have such a saddle. If it's for the folder and the SDG saddle which doesn't have rails as such, there might be a screw socket underneath at the back, which is designed to take a saddlebag adaptor, which is mostly out of stock everywhere I looked.</p> <p>A DIY solution might be something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.commuterdude.com/2015/04/a-home-brew-saddlebag-mount-for-saddles.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.commuterdude.com/2015/04/a-home-brew-saddlebag-mount-for-saddles.html</a></p> <p>in which you forget all about saddle loops. Instead, you take a piece of wooden dowel, and basically zip tie it to the saddle wherever you can poke them through. The dude above supported the dowel using a bit of aluminium angle.</p> <p>Alternatively, hang the cape from your handlebars!</p> <p>No idea about the folding-up of your cape. Is it the cotton one? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17794#post-251688 Thu, 01 Jun 2017 19:03:53 +0000 SRD 251688@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can someone send me a link that will show me how to fold up my Brooks/Boultbee poncho and attach the leather straps to the saddle? </p>
