Hi Joel, I also own both the Sackville and the Acorn bag. The Acorn can expand quite a bit aft from the pics and has an inner closure to keep the contents from spilling out. The shape and the side pockets are what makes the Acorn work better, for me at least. Shape has no thigh rub. Side pocke

No worries. My point is that, although the SH most closely matches the kind of frame I want, I am considering other Riv models as well, and frame geo is one of the factors I am weighing. I wouldn't rule out any frame for not exactly matching my ideal. In fact, most of my bikes are less than perf

May I ask, what did you hope to gain from the switch? Are you breaking spokes and noticing wheel flex on the quick release axle? If so, I'm not sure the Hillibike is what you need. Perhaps a smaller diameter wheel, not a solid axle, would provide the strength you need. Cheers, Patrick On Tu
