Re: [RBW] Re: Banana Sax Pics?
I bought the blue Banana Sax bag to go on my Bike Friday. It is is the perfect size. I have a xsmall Sackville and this seems much bigger without getting into larger sized saddlebags. I’ve had a range of sizes from several brands and always come back to a smaller bag. This banana sax might be the ideal. As always the quality of the Sackville bag is impressive. Thanks for all the responses. Cheers! Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Banana Sax Pics?
Even better, just strap it (poke holes in original straps as needed) directly to the rails of your Flite, Turbo, or San Marco: I've done that with Carradices and Rivendell bags up to Camper, Hoss, and Sackville Medium sizes, and carried 35 lb loads in them. This works better with the buckles inside the bag. Or, get the VO bolt on loops, though I'd swap out the Phillips head screws for small allen head screws, so that you can tighten them enough that they don't slip. Use a wee bit of blue Locktite if you are uncertain; I never needed to.

You can run a toe strap through the loops to snug it up to the bottom of the rails. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Banana Sax Pics?
I have the 'original' version of the Banana bag, which hung from the saddle rails. It looks like the new one is for saddles with loops only? That would be a deal breaker for me, which is too bad because the blue might go nicely with my next bike (custom, lugged but non-Riv). The toggles, reflective strip, inside pocket and blinkie loop are all nice improvements, though. The mounting in the photos looks messy, I always run the buckles inside the bag, with just small loops of leather outside snugged up to the saddle.

[RBW] Re: Banana Sax Pics?
I've had all three. Size would go XS, banana, S. sackville small isn't exactly small, and the shape of it really utilizes space. I used to regularly get 2 takeout boxes in mine without hassle or jostling of the food. The banana is smaller for sure, but the way space is used almost makes it not comparable to the sackville small. It's a really useful bag but more for riding essentials like Lock/jacket/tools and doesn't feel as saddlebaggy. XS is too small for my liking. Couldn't fit much more than a tube and a few tools. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Banana Sax Pics?
I have both a Sackville XS and an old Banana. Both are excellent. Determining volume of the Banana is tricky, but IMO it holds a bit more than the Sackville. Specifically, I can get my Abus cable lock (the one Riv sells) fully within the Banana with room for lots of other stuff. Also, the Banana is capable of some expansion via raising the flap and securing at a higher level. On the other hand, the XS is very trim-looking on the bike, super easy to access because of the rear zipper. They both hold more than you'd think they would. Some of the pix show the Banana mounted such that the opening faces pretty much rearward. I prefer mine mounted more upright, and that is possible if you experiment with placement of the mounting straps. I've thought of the Sackville XS as my Summer bag, when I won't need to stash a jacket in there; Banana as Fall: discard clothing items and carry them within.
