Bike-packers

Please show me pics of how you strap your drybags to your saddle and convince me I don’t need to spaff £100 on some Carradice 18L bag & SQR.

Thanksyouplease.

week long tour kit … clothes/stove/pots in carradice – sleeping stuff in the barsacks

overnight light weight bivy. – lightweight +5 comfort bag , down gilet , bivy in the red bag – no ground mat or clothes changes or stove/pots etc

TA…what’s the rack in the 2nd pic?

Don’t folk simply strap bags to their saddles/posts?

rack is the bagman from my carradice – i tried strapping the back to the post – it just irritated my legs ….given i was doing the WHW i didnt fancy leaving it there …

im going to get me some epic style luggage once i settle on the frame i want to put them on !

Crappy pics:

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.

Ta guys. Looks like saddlebags may be the wat to go. Frikkin spensive tho and nowt cheap on scumbay 🙁

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.

have a look here[/url]

these look ok

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.
