Bike parts that don't exist and we wish they did, but actually they do exist as not-bike parts

Would those ortlieb clips be these ones?: https://www.bikebagshop.com/e109-lower-anchoring-hook-with-rail-10-mm-p-1074.html

Looks like Rusty has two pair of the QL1 top hooks. Are the matching rails inside the bag?

Hey what about tent pole clips?

tent pole clips makes me think of what I did for my mess bag rack situation. took two delta cargo net clips, drilled for 4"ziptie and attached to the provisions for cross strap. when you have some stuff in the bag it puts them under tension and they stay put v nicely. I want a fancy box bag but this is so secure is so secure and free that I don’t want to buy something til I know it’s gonna be perfect.

Mine are the top clips that I pulled off a decrepit pair of panniers.
No rail in the bag, just a nylock nut and a big washer.

Yeah, buddy.

Legos are great for fender spacers. Lots of sizes, lightweight, don’t rust, and nerd factor.

Nice.
I always just cut a wine cork to length and drill a hole through the middle.

Looks like these things would also be great for rack bag securing.

We should make a point of linking to parts, not just pictures.

Look closer.

we should have better differentiation for a {}

I see what you did there;-)

Got 'em!

Details to come. Ask questions if you have any though.

Those accessory mounts are now sold out on eBay. The Tarckbike effect?

My question is really just a list of all the hardware you bought, maybe with links to where to buy it.

This is what I used:

Gub559 Cycles Bikes Handlebar Extender

Carbon tubes

Ortlieb stuff:
UNIVERSAL SCREW SET FOR SCREWED BAGS WITH QL2.1
QL1 Short Top Rail E170
Ortlieb QL1 top hooks E162

A cut up tube for shimming. Some electrical tape to keep tube in place and on ends of carbon bar to make the bag hooks clamp nice and tight (like one wrap around total). I want to fashion some kind of plug for the end of the tube that might also keep the hooks from coming off the side.

this is a bike part, but this thread still seems most appropriate

the other accessories they have on their site may interest y’all too

it’s a bicycle-shaped part that’s for sure

holy shit
yo dog

That is the most novel bike part i’ve ever seen

I made mine so the two accessory mounts butt right up against the two Ortlieb mounts, which prevents side-to-side wiggling pretty well, and won’t let the bag fall off. Works pretty well.
