Can’t get a decent batard round these ways anyway 🙄
Malt loaf FTW!
The standard version won't fit a fat bike 😉, but they do have a fat bike (wider) version.
I'd be a bit nervous about putting those on a carbon hardtail with skinny seat-stays.
Is that really going to be ok? I'd have thought the weight/flex pattern is not what the stays are designed for.
That’s why you only fill it with airy ciabatta!
No use to me this one, so i'll leave you lot to it.
@weeksy you should enter anyway, because it might mean you miss out on the megasack if you don’t!
Very good, still giggling over here! Thanks guys.
Nah, i don't think it's right going for something i don't want... i'll take my chances with lower number of entries for mega-sack, just seems more fair that way to me.
The video appears to be broken. Just a big blue square with the little buffering wheel going round. On both my phone and iPad ☹️
No video showing here, but in case anyone else has the same issue, I managed to find it on that there Youtube with the cunning search term "single track world megasack day 3 2023".
Should be fixed now.
I can see myself riding into the village the scenic route to get a few bits of shopping. Or send the kids with proper sandwiches when they go for an all day ride.
Ooh, just need to do another 'posh' bike packing trip with the lads (posh as staying in pubs).
I've just done my entry for Day 3 and the message says thank you for entering day 2 ?
Does anyone else think that "megasack" (always said in the asthmatic god-voice from space way) would be a funny pet name?
Aeroe must be really trying to push these - hence their 2 adverts in the current mag. They do look good for the job mind
As a kid I had a male hamster that name would have suited well.
Good choice on the loaf 😉
Surely a keg is more appropriate?
The reflective bit on the bottom doesn't seem very useful with the way they're mounted.
The cradle can be rotated so you can choose to expose the reflective panels if you want/need to.
How well do they match up with mudguards like mudhuggers? Difficult to tell; would the arch fit under the tail of such seatstay mounted guards?
I'm really liking the look of this kit...can't justify the cost myself as I've got bits and pieces that would allow me to get away for an overnighter and I haven't done it yet...but this seems to be ticking boxes for me. That would be an ideal addition as I think those 2 bags, my handlebar roll bag and a backpack and I'd be sorted comfortably.

Works fine on my fatbike. I guess you might have to play around with position. The closer to the seattube, the higher the rack will be. However you've then got to watch you don't hit the bags with your heels. Positioning the bags at an angle would like resolve this.
I see Aeroe now do a more standard "rack" fitting too, so you can mount traditional panniers (though the heel strike thing might come into play).
