[Asposium]

broke a buckle on WRT from a specialized burra burra saddle bag

have sent a facebook message to specialized asking for help.

anyone know of somewhere that might sell the straps or the buckles?

Thought of something similar; however, half of the buckle remains on the bag, so would need to an exact fit

The bodge solution at the moment is to take a ladder lock along that can be fitted if needed

Looks like a Duraflex buckle - try searching for their online catalogue to find a buckle name or part number, then search off that.

Sea to summit do a range of repair buckles , I’d explain but it’s easier just to look

[BigdummySteve]

Actually I have a few, too knackered after WRT to think but let me know what size you need and I might have one.

It is duraflex
Rang the UK importer, not something they have

Waiting on specialized.
Note to self, have a spare buckle

As an aside, duraflex make a double sided camlok buckle; with a suitable piece of webbing would make an interesting DIY strap, no sewing required

Aren't they the same buckles alpkit use? They list them as SJ with camlok on their seat pack page. Might be worth giving them a call?

Having just checked it does seem Alpkit do indeed use the exact same buckle

spoke with alpkit
going to send me a couple in the post.
a big thumbs up to alpkit

That's good news

I sometimes carry a pair of 20mm straps with buckles on for emergencies, the ones supplied with Alpkit's double ended dry bags. These can be used for all sorts of temporary repairs/fixes. They will hold on a seat pack, used as a bar harness, and as they join together they can be made into one longer strap if required.

I had some spare salsa straps on the WRT
Very useful
Unfortunately a different buckle

Had the same thing happen to my osprey pack, I ordered a few of these:

No moving parts, won't break and lighter that the 2 piece plastic one it replaced!
