4 cableties and 4 bits of gaffertape. Performed faultlessly for two years now. Cost about 5p and weighs around 13g.

Re: Show me your handle bar cradle
Made this last year, slightly impressed with solid load carrying not effecting handling..

Heh heh, well I think we have two ends of the scale for you to choose from there . Come to think of it mine actually is a cradle rather than a harness.

Re: Show me your handle bar cradle
How big a bag do you want to strap on? If you were looking at the Salsa one have you considered the Gfunk bar clamps with a strap deck? Considerably cheaper than the Salsa option.

I’m using Alpkit Confucius bars so my bar bag is well away from the cables

If I made, again I'd select lighter materials. But as, a concept its great. Such as lining in 2 oz nylon & add oxford /codura strips not through out...
