Mine rattles when I've forgotten to lock the turnbuckle. Otherwise they're silent. dougP On Thursday, July 14, 2016 at 7:28:09 PM UTC-7, Michael Cinibulk wrote: > > I agree that the turnbuckle closures on the pockets are functionally > great; but, they tend to rattle on chips eel and the

I would have bought the gray years ago if Ron had offered it, and would have kept a couple of other gray bags incl. Sackvilles I ended up selling On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 7:54:03 AM UTC-5, David Banzer wrote: > > Keeping pockets full should reduce rattling. > It's nice to see some new colors

Keeping pockets full should reduce rattling. It's nice to see some new colors from Acorn, and that they're offering WR canvas in addition to a waxed canvas choice. David Chicago -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

I've never heard a rattle, and I'm pretty sure the required position of my shifter cables keeps the joint tensioned, which prevents vibration. Have you noticed a difference if you stuff the pockets full? On

I agree that the turnbuckle closures on the pockets are functionally great; but, they tend to rattle on chips eel and the like, which bugs me. Has anyone managed to silence the rattle? Mike C Bellbrook OH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Re: [RBW] Re: Acorn Bags (acornbags.com) boxy rando bags!

My house is full of Acorn bags of all sorts. I think the new colors are nice. They have a new randonneur smaller bag, but I don't like how it opens from the front and lifts to the back. The drawback is that the wind will blow it open rather than blow it closed. If you don't access the bag

I have both the small and large tan rondeneur style bags and like them both. I appreciate the light interior and the quality of the materials. The small bag came with very nice brass turnbuckles on the small pockets, which I really like but the large one came with snaps that I struggle with.

I've had a tan Boxy Rando on my Atlantis since around '09 or '10, whenever he started making that one. My wife has the (now discontinued) itsy-bitsy small front bag, & then the larger one with the 2 pockets (no rack needed). She really loves that one. BTW, the bar tube is back. A friend

I used the Acorn bags for several years, then switched to the V-brand saddle bag. I also like my Swift Industries Roll top panniers. Sent from my iPhone. > On Jul 13, 2016, at 11:10 AM, WETH wrote: > > Your bags look quite nice. I am sure you will get great satisfaction

I had one on a front rack for a few years and always found it handy, but wasn't thrilled with it until I put on a decaleur. Now I want one on my other bikes. On Wednesday, July 13, 2016 at 12:44:23 PM UTC-5, Howard Hatten wrote: > > I recently purchased a black acorn bag off a list member.

There is certainly an Acorn bag fan club here, and you'll see them pop in transactions sell/wtb all the time. Same with Swift, Treetop, Ruthworks, Ostrich, and many quality bag-makers. But Rivendell does make a line of great bags and hopefully we give them good press, as well.
