Making your own: The clamp

previous step | back to overview | next step

For the third point of suspension of the Cannier, we use a clamp that stays fixed on the rack. 

How to choose

These clamps are mass produced as a component for industrial hydraulic hose systems. You can find them at hydraulic specialty stores. They are referred to as hydraulic hose clamps. Ask for one with a plastic clamp body and metallic weld plate, for single hose, and with double screw fixing.

Check your rack tube diameter before going to the store.

Get one with solid hole, either smooth or serrated. Profiled hole clamps are not recommended.

Screws

2pcs M6 * 30 mm screws, optionally 2pcs 6,4 mm * 18 mm washers. We recommend using stainless screws.
