For me, the Sackville is better news than my indeed excellent home-brew mounting bracket. Just did a couple of grocery and PO runs: smaller loads, nothing much over 10 lb, but: what a NICE bag! I don't mean the hoity toity quality: Carradice quality would suit me fine; but the design is the best I've seen for getting max vol with max clearance.
Again, I like the look of the old fashioned Carradice bags better, but man, this just works! The side pockets hold (right) all my repair kit that fills most of a Banana Bag; the left holds all my light kit (Sam Browne, extra batteries, extra rear blinkie, backup PB Blaze headlight; ankle strap) plus overflow musette, all of which, again, takes up most of a Banana. The snap-on pouch carries my 16 oz cluster of keys with room to spare. I may have to put the stiffener back in; or I may just rivet in a stiff strut of aluminum stock to keep the bag from sagging onto the tire with heavy load. Must experiment more, first, before doing either. Wonderful bag! I bet, too, my Riv could accomodate the Large, but really, the Med is just right -- I have the Fargo with front and rear panniers for really large loads, anyway. 21 miles just now picking up Mom's accumulated junk mail and a few groceries. A NICE bag! -- Vote early, vote often, vote Rhinoceros! http://tinyurl.com/d7muj2t ------------------------- Patrick Moore, Albuquerque, NM, USA For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html ------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
