Decaleurs are traditional quick release mounts for handlebar bags.Unlike some modern bag mounts, they keep the bag low for betterhandling and to keep the handlebars clear.<br /><br />We offer two styles of decaleurs: a modern fork mount and a traditionalstem mount. The VO fork mount decaleurs are mounted on the fork belowthe headset lock nut and fit 1" or 1-1/8" forks. They are made ofstainless steel and the workmanship is first rate. <br /><br />The traditional stem mount decaleurs we make are a style of decaleursimilar to those used on classic French constructeur bikes. It mountson the stem bolt of a traditional quill stem, as shown in the photo.<br /><br />This style of decaleur must be cut to length and then a hole must bedrilled for the bolt. Directions are included.<br /><br />Our decaleurs work with Berthoud, TA, Ostrich, LaFuma, and most othertraditional-style handlebar bags.<br /><br />Please remember that a decaleur is intended as a quick releasemechanism, not to support the full weight of the bag. So the bag muststill rest on a rack or on the fender.<br /><br />Note, that these decaleurs use metric 5mm posts and receivers. The newbag mounts can be used in the old-style 1/4" receivers, but not theother way round.
