Picked up a Topeak quick-release saddlebag off the classifieds last week. I tried to fit it to my Charge Knife saddle this weekend, but the rails and saddle shell seem too narrow to fit the bracket in.
Anyone else found this?
Any saddlebag clips out there that will fit?
Or do I need to get a strapped version?
I have a Charge Knife and my little Scott saddlebag fits very snugly without movement; it has a W shaped plastic clip that hangs on the rails:

(I've got this but all black and I think smaller, which is fine for one tube, two levers and a multi-tool).
The W clip is better than a strap, which wears out over time with grit and movement. One problem is that many small saddle bags have a seatpost strap that's too long for the velcro to close securely, I usually stitch a small bight in the strap to shorten it by 10mm.
