Saddle tab adapter

thingiverse

These tabs make it easy to add traditional saddle bags to non-tabbed saddles. Many leather saddles come with these tabs by default. There are two versions of the mount: one made with 3D printing and another machined version. The 3D printed version has extra material to compensate for its weaknesses, making it suitable only for very light, small bags. Hardware needed: - 2 M5 x 25 mm bolts (longer ones depending on saddle rail diameter) - 2 M5 locknuts with 5.2 mm width and 8 mm height Special thanks to Timo Wories at GrabCAD for the great saddle model (https://grabcad.com/library/vnt-saddle-1). The design was also inspired by the Hobo Restuvus mount (http://www.hobopieces.com/product/the-restuvus). Pictures of that one are included above for reference. Slot width, diameter, and spacing were referenced from a Velo Orange leather saddle I own.
