I did a "BarSack hack" and mount the 'Sack to my Mark's Rack.
Didn't like the idea of having to get the Nitto thing that's a total
mono-tasker. Seems a bit un-Riv-ish to me, actually.
My light (B&M Ixon) mounts to the front tab of the rack, so there's no
interference.

Thanks for responding Thomas! I'm afraid I have no experience with the
slicker sack, but your info was very helpful.

Hi!
I have a green BarSack/F-15. I have used it some but not consistently.
I don't often feel like putting on the F-15 "fork", even though it is
only a minor hassle. And I don't like leaving it on for days when I'm
not going to use it. (I don't use the BarSack for commuting; I can't
think of a way
I know the nitto F-15 still isn't in stock. However, it is my
understanding that riv had some bags previously that used this set-up.
Can any one speak to the front end behavior with the higher load? I'm
weighing my options between this set-up and a decaleur/front rack
mounted bag.

Jay, actually it does, since you're talking about hackable design features.
With all those issues, what does the BarSack offer that the Acorn doesn't?
Or the Campagne or the Zugster, for that matter? Due to the BarSack's
positioning, especially on a Rivvish/Bobbish positioning, I don't see good

I don't think there is anything inherently special about the mounting
of this bag that would prevent you from hacking it for use with a
decaleur and front rack. I'm still waiting on the F-15 Nitto rack so
haven't tried the BarSack yet, but here are some things I would
consider before using this ba
I really liked the original handlebar brackets for Kirtland front
bags. It was very easy to take on and off the bike and you didn't
need elastic bungees going down to the fork dropout eyelets. There
was also a handlebar waterbottle cage that mounted in a similar manner
that was also easy to swap

That would be perfect.

I used to have the Carradice Boxy Bag (which I regret selling), which
used the same Nitto mount, so I can comment on the second question.
To take it off, you would need to unscrew the 2 buttonhead allen bolts
at the front of the rack, then slide the bag off. But I found the
allen bolts to be basi
Seriously eyeing this bag. I may go check it out this weekend if I'm
feeling up to the hour BART ride. My questions:
- How big is the main compartment? (will it fit, say, an iPad?)
- How easy is it to take on and off? (easy enough so that I can take
it off the bike each time I lock up?)
- How much

You mean, like this one?

I just wish someone would make a decaleur for threadless stems (that
mounted where the bars are clamped instead of the headset).

I like the way it looks and I'm sure the quality is excellent. It
seems a great way to go for displaying a cute sheet and keeping some
snacks and a brevet card handy. The xs Sackville SaddleSack would be
the place to stash tools and tubes.
At first I wasn't a fan of the Sackville stuff at all but
I also have not been awed by the Sackville look (esp. the leather
zipper covers), though they are slowly growing on me. That said, I
think the Barsack is the most beautiful handlebar bag out there, with
the possible exception of a Guu Watanabe in brown or burgundy. And the
price is unbeatable. Way

I saw the bags up last night. I think they look really great. It took
me awhile to like the new sackville line--appearance wise anyway--but
now I think they are beautiful. They really grew on me. But I was

Acorn uses a coroplast (?) stiffener in their boxy bag. I'm pretty
abusive of such things & haven't been able to damage it. Might be a
simple addition that would allow the BarSack to keep its shape. As to
mounting on a rack, I've done a lot with small D-rings attached to
bags with tubing clips,
It looks like a fine bag for the right user and setup, but... (there's
always a "but" when it comes to bags isn't there? ;-))... it appears
to require a special attachment to the handlebars and that, for me,
will likely be a deal-breaker. I already have a Nitto M-12 rack. I
