Can anyone direct me to where I can get hold of a Topeak Saddle Bag Clip that is wide enough to fit a Brooks Swift?

    This should do it:

    Unfortunately you have to pay postage with SJS. Also fwiw I have had two of these clips break (because of the sharp corner in the moulding combined with brittle plastic). I must confess the bag was fairly well laden at the time.

    Thanks for that Careful but that's the standard size. OK for lightweight plastic saddles but way too narrow for a Brooks. I guess I'll just have to get one with straps instead.

    When I switched to a Brooks saddle I had to remove the clip attachment from the bag and stitched on a strap instead.

    Thanks Keef. You just saved me a bit of cash (and for an exiled Jockanese that's important). Clip bracket off, old piece of nylon belt with snap buckle on, job jobbed!

    'Twas my Yorkshire tendencies that prompted my bit of DIY :D
