[RC] Deluxe Stowaway pommel - Tx Trigger

Does anyone know the secret of attaching the pommel bag so it does not

bounce. I ride in a Specialized trailmaster and cannot figure out how to
strap it down.. Any suggestions, pictures or help would be appreciated.>>>

Take the top velcro straps, and run them through the top D rings on your
saddle, then run through those little D rings that are attached to the
velcro straps next to pack, tighten, then attach the velcro. If you do it
tight enough, it will sort of "lift" the pack up off the horses withers, and
suspend it from the saddle. I do this with the Bighorn, and my Specialized.



Linda, here are some photos on other attachments.

This was on the Bighorn. The long strap, I have go across the front, into
buckle, and then trim off the huge excess. I tie a knot in the end of the
strap, so it does not slip out of the buckle. The very front D ring, I put a
little bit snap on it, and then snap it to a string I have around my
breastcollar. This takes out the bounce. Have ridden with it like this for
about 5 years, and it works well.

To attach TO the saddle, I had put some string around the rigging, that I
tied it off to, or used a little snap. You may have to consider having
another D ring added to your new saddle low enough to attach it, to
eliminate bounce.

With my Specialized International, I put some velcro on the small D rings,
and sandwich it between the knee rolls and velcro on the flap to keep it
snug to the saddle, and not floppy.

Maybe this will give you some ideas to keep the bags secure, and not
bouncing and floppy for your set up. I HATE bags that bounce, so I fuss with
them until they don't.
