Surlyprof, thanks for the mention of 2 pockets. I had gotten the earlier
one with the inner toggle, and when the second one I bought came with a
flap instead, I never thought to look under it for a pocket.
Speaking of things I didn’t know, I discarded the Coroplast stiffener out
of my first
The standoff solution is so simple and fantastic! Such possibility never
occurred to me! One could buy the acorn product or there are many options
to make one.
Thanks fellas.

I have used a wine cork as a standoff with good success. I lashed it to the
leather strap with hemp twine (of course!)cheers,Andrew

Elegant solution. I've used my banana sax for several days now & not
noticed any problem. I think it is narrow enough at the front to not have
this problem. I used to use a hobo bag as a saddle bag & it was an issue.
Solved by anchoring the bottom of the bag to the rack so it was spaced

One of the few of their products that is *not* sold out.
You could do the same with a toe strap and a piece of PVC pipe, as Patrick
All Carradice-type saddlebags (and Rivendell's are all variations on this
theme) gently nuzzle the backs of your thighs as you pedal; I quickly got
used to it. But you can make a standoff out of PVC pipe or a piece of scrap
wood.

I recently got a gray Banana Sax. When attach it to the saddle though back
of my thigh hits the bag when I peddle. Is common? or maybe it varies
with the rider's height/seat post length? After a while it get a bit
annoying. This bag is great for using in the front. Looks like it will

I had bought a gray one about a year ago not knowing that they had added
the internal flap. That, and the 2 internal pockets that are great for
small things like a multitool and levers have made it my favorite bag. I
still hang on to my small Sackville but it has been gathering dust since I
There's mention on the Riv site about some internal details that sound like
what you've got. I've got an olive on it's way so will know in a couple of
days. It sounds like some pockets or organizer but the description is
vague & it doesn't leap off the video. Ah, the drama of bag buying.
Scott, the medium Acorn looks bigger than the Banana bag (sorry, the only
name I can call it by).

Hi Scott,
I think Baggabond, HappiSack, Bagboy, and Saddlesack XS all attach via
saddle loops.
I have the predecessors to those (Saddlesack Large, Medium, Small). They
are my favorite bags for general use.

Here's a old Ebay listing / sale of the REI bag I'd mentioned, not pretty,
but super functional. Sorry for highjacking the post.
