Got the grey grid! Thanks for the info. I think it will hold everything I need for spring/summer. For fall/winter when I need to carry extra tights/wool shirt/jacket, I can use my grey grid bar bag to match. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

It should fit great. The rear (now front) loops will fit just inside of the V, then wrap the other strap around the quill. Easy peasy! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

Re: [RBW] Re: Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

Ok let's take a look. My "lunch bag" is a lunch bar and the jacket is Ibex Breakaway, which would be thicker than a summer shell. So thin the jacket and make the lunch bigger..I think you have the same volume. I was wrong, it all fits! https://photos.app.goo.gl/kGalusW6AgJiqZem2 Joe Bernard

Re: [RBW] Re: Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

About the Banana Sack, just an opinion : 1. Sway is often an unnecessary concern. There is a difference between an "on the bike" problem and an "in the head theoretical" one. 2. Security is good. The least secure mount, ironically, is the original intended mount, on the saddle loops. Then the

Get a Stem bag (Randi Jo, Donut Sack, etc) and put your phone and sunglasses in it for better access then it should all fit. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from

Partially off-topic: does the Banana Sax require saddlebag loops, or will it mount on garden-variety saddle rails? I've stared at the pictures, but am unsure of what I'm seeing. rod On Tuesday, May 8, 2018 at 3:44:53 PM UTC-4, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > > Looks like the opening angle and lid are

Lum, It depends on how big your multi-tool, rain jacket and lunch are. I just did a test run, and I can pack my spurcyle multitool, park patchkit, schwable SV14 tube, rolled up brake cable, & phone with plenty of space left. I think if I got a packable rain jacket and if my lunch was a modest

Lum Gim Fong, Staying in the Riv family, if the banana sax is not quite large enough, I'd recommend the Saddlesack Small. Shoji Arlington MA On Monday, May 21, 2018 at 10:01:12 AM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: > > The Pika is a pretty good design. No sway; rolls up compactly when > carrying

Re: [RBW] Re: Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

The Pika is a pretty good design. No sway; rolls up compactly when carrying little, but expands amazingly when completely filled; I've carried surprisingly large grocery loads in mine. I did sell it because I found other bags better for my use, but for minimalist, non-supported, and non-sway

[RBW] Re: Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

I put the Brooks little Millbrook bag on my '57 Lenton - well, just because it belongs there. It opens the same way as the banana bag, could argue the straps are more secure - - honestly, the banana bag looks more versatile. . Even this little bag is holding a tool roll with a long list of

[RBW] Re: Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

FWIW, This prolly doesn't fit the "look" you seem to prefer, but for a rock solid no-sway saddle bag the Revelate Pika to work very well. This is Revelate's "small" version, the Viscacha is even larger capacity. I had the original Banana bag years ago and ended up selling it because of the

Nope. It'll hold most of it, but I don't think you can top the rest of that list with sunglasses and a lunch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email

[RBW] Re: Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

It''s not for carrying loose gold dust or diamonds, but the Banana sack is secure and adaptable to any load. There's a sleeve pocket for a phone, and a stiffener opposite that, and you can put skinny jangly things in with the stiffener, to secure them. If I have any doubts I just wad up a
