Seems weird to show saddlebags fitted to a bike with a rack - dilutes the message a bit maybe or perhaps it just looks odd.
May the bridges you burn light your way

I'd put that down to poor marketing, I suspect the 'main guy' is on his holibobs...Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 4:50 pm Seems weird to show saddlebags fitted to a bike with a rack - dilutes the message a bit maybe or perhaps it just looks odd.

Re: Looks like Carradice have some new things...
The whole thing looks decidedly half-arsed.
What bike happens to be nearby? That'll do.
Backdrop? Don't worry about it, who cares?
Showing the products in a positive way? Not bovered, it's only bikepacking.
To be fair I can't even comment on the style/design of the products as I left the site after seeing how amateur it looked.

My only thought about the saddle pack mounting with that wee hoop is that if (when) it breaks your stuffed - better to have straps as well so the loop is just a support rather than the mount. Otherwise its a variation on a similar theme to everybody elses.

The hoop looks to be a similar diameter to a saddle rail and they usually support more than 3-6kg. You can always use the supplied strap through the side loops if necessary.
