Hobo Pieces, a new brand started by Chad Roddy, just launched with the Restuvus saddlebag mount as well as bag collaborations with Ellum Bag Works and Outer Shell.
Interested in bikepacking with a traditional saddlebag, but your saddle doesn’t have haul loops? Entrepreneur Chad Roddy has a solution. The Restuvus is a CNC aluminum clamp mount designed allow larger saddlebags to install on non-traditional saddles. The Restuvus weighs 118g and will come in six anodized colors. According to Chad, the weight capacity is about 20 pounds (9 kg).
