Norco Search XR-S top tube bag anti-roll mount
Description
Have you ever had issues with a top tube bag rolling off to the side on a steel frame bike? This mount provides a flat platform on round tubes for a top tube bag to strap to and eliminates all rolling. It can also be used for mounting other flat objects such as folding locks and tubes. The mount adds minimal stack height, and multiple clamps can be spaced to suit the strapping arrangement for different bags. I use the mounts with a Topeak Fuel Tank bag and an Abus Bordo Lite 6055 lock. The clamp suits ~32mm Reynolds tubing, which is used on Norco Search XR frames. When printed in flexible TPU, the mount will grip to the tube and is very durable. I have currently used the bracket for bikepacking and commuting for six months with no issues. Required parts: - TPU filament - 2x M3 locknut - 2x M3x16 socket head screw Installation instructions: - Cover the tube in a layer of electrical of helicopter tape to prevent issues with grit and rubbing over time. This can also be used to shim thinner tubes. - Bend the clamp over the tube and orientate it correctly for the strap separation. - Insert the screws and nuts and tighten until the clamp can no longer rotate easily. - Sit the top tube bag on the mounts and tighten the straps very tightly.
