fitted a revelate gas tank to my Vaya, first ride out today it it continually flopped to the right and became a nuisance rubbing my leg. Stopped to try to refit and tighten it but to no avail. Any ideas?

No, as I’ve used one on my Vaya for the last 4 years and it’s been rock solid.

Sorry.

Mind, have a look at DrJon’s dewidget he designed, that could help?

Don't have a gas tank but my Alpkit one was floppy as hell. If it has webbing loops on the front, try a piece of elastic shockcord looped through and around your stem cap, it will pull the bag upright a bit more. Failing that, some adhesive velcro on the top tube and base of the gas tank should stop it rolling side to side.

I have the older style one. I've used it for years and had no problems.

Sorted cheers, turns out my Wildcat ocelot bag was hindering tightening the Revelate gas tank bag fully.
