Neither was amazing - still trying to figure out a ghetto solution to project it further back.

Currently tryign to bodge something with an old saddlebag, a cheap drybag, some corrigated cardboard and gaffa tape.

I've been using one of the Tacx saddle rail bottle cage mounts and a couple of bootlaces to give a bit of space between the back of my legs and a 10l SealLine bag. Rocks about a bit but not too bad and didn't cost owt 'cause I had the mount already.

Not in stock and Shop only in test mode. Have you bought / received anything from them?

At 180PLN (c.£40) for the saddle bag that's considerably cheaper than the *cough*original*cough* Revelate design.

I've got a couple of bags on the way - his comms have been excellent, he hasn't asked for money upfront and the kit looks good - I'll update when the bags arrive

Hi kit does look very well put together, the materials aren't cheap either.
