Saddle pack recommendations

(1/4) > >>

Sergeant Pluck:
Right, I have a mid size Topeak saddle pack, the type with the quick-release bracket on the saddle. I've just broken the 3rd one in a month; this one lasted about 3 short rides. I don't have that much weight in it. Each time it's the same: a bump just breaks the retaining edges off the bag part of the clip.

What is a good alternative, suitable for Brooks. I guess I'm looking at velcro straps this time.

Topeak again, except with straps?

(Edit: mind you, the first Topeak of the 3 lasted for years. Both the cheese-bracket ones were bought in the last few weeks)

Aidan:
I've just swapped my Topeak for one of these





Very similar  but has straps with klik fasteners,  rather than a clip.  Nicely made, reflective and a decent price.

Sergeant Pluck:
Thanks Aidan. Looks the job but I don't think I can get one in time for my trip on Sunday - are dhb Wiggle-only? Is the fitting for the light horizontal across bag?

Carradice Prima?

I think I mean Twist...

Sergeant Pluck:
Too big methinks Clarion.
