RaClips
These little clips are a smooth and easy way to keep your bag secured to the rack while allowing simple and quick removal. You can read my blog post about them here.
- Mounted through the base of a handlebar bag, they are positioned to align with the rack platform's rails. The clips stay with the bag. See the photo of the "invisible bag".
- A simple sliding mechanism releases the bag and can be accomplished by simply reaching under the bag to unclip.
- No more fiddling around with velcro straps under the bag. Yes!
- Available for new bags and can be added to any existing bags.
- RaClips can be fitted to any rack with 5/16” tubing and need a minimum of 1 1/4” clear rail to grip rack.
- In conjunction with a decaleur, such as the DockIt™, your bag will be perfectly positioned and secure.
- Installation instructions included or download them here.

Reflector Triangle
I started making reflectors mostly for fun. They are a little extra insurance on the road when the light is low or you are riding at night and they've been a hit! I always encourage proper lighting when riding, but having some fun reflective material is a good baseline to start from.
The reflective material is Coast Guard approved SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) and is incredibly effective, even when wet. The color options are endless, so fire up your imagination!
Note color combo when placing order. Go here for specific color and fabric choices.
5" h x 5.5" w $30
Three mounting options (l. to r. in photo: grommets; saddle rails, saddle loops):
- Saddle loops: meant for saddles that have small loops along the rear edge of the saddle. Brooks, Berthoud, VO and other saddles generally have saddle loops.
- Grommets: Small grommets in the three corners of the triangle for affixing to a basket or wherever else might be fun.
- Saddle rails: Intended for saddles that don't have the above mentioned loops. This option works okay, but the reflectors sometimes slide forward under the saddle a bit.
Leather Mudflaps (set)
Leather mudflaps available in either honey brown or black, with reflective SOLAS stripe. Mounting hardware included.
10" l x 4 1/2" w (front), 7" l x 4 1/2" w, $50

Waxwing Bag Co Patch

Here's your opportunity to have a Waxwing patch to put on pretty much anything you'd like. Your trucker hat? Your coat?
(Patch only--bag not included)
Velo Orange Randonneur Front Rack w/ Integrated Decaleur
This is the Velo Orange stainless steel front rack that is perfect for a handlebar bag. The decaleur (bag mount receiver) is integrated into the rack platform. The advantage to this system is: your bag-decaleur-rack combination is more solid, lighter, and less likely to rattle. Integration is the Holy Grail of Constucteur-style bikes, and we feel that these racks are a big step in that direction.
All Velo Orange racks are made from polished tubular stainless steel, so they will never rust, flake, and can be re-polished to a mirror shine even after years of use. As with our other racks, there are mounts for lights. The platform is 20.7 cm long and 10.2 cm wide. 12lbs (5.4kg) max weight capacity.
Compatibility note: Your fork's eyelets need to be 100mm from the fork crown bolt. Anything larger than that and this rack probably won't work. In that case, we suggest the VO Flat Pack Rack for greater adjustability.
