[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

I throw a Pentax MX with a 50mm f1.4 lens into my Sackville banana sack that is mounted on the choco moose handlebars on my Appaloosa and it seems to work well. I have a tube stuffed in the bottom of that bag for emergencies and it does a pretty good job of padding the camera. On Friday, Septem

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

Hi Neil, I assume you are concentrating specifically on quicker access bags located behind bars next to the stem, which I have admittedly not used and am only vaguely familiar with having briefly considered buying some for myself, but I'll interpret your "handlebar/stem bags" phrasing a little

At the end of this recent thread, i posted pics of my setup. Nitto rack puchased from and still available at Riv, bag by ostrich. Couldn't be happier. https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/rbw-owners-bunch/77bdoc1Yzt0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google G

I'm quite fond of Outer shell Adventures' Drawcord Handlebar Bag. Not quite the same style you're asking about, but can still be opened and closed with one hand, and he also makes a separate padded liner if youre carrying a camera in it. On Friday, September 28, 2018 at 12:13:54 PM UTC-4, Ne

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

I haven't used a bag for this purpose, but saw recently that Rivelo and Randi Jo Fab just collaborated on a camera bag that looks like it's for stem mounting. Darin On Friday, September 28, 2018 at 9:13:54 AM UTC-7, Neil Doran wrote: > > What do folks like for handlebar/stem bags, especially on

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

I have a (D)SLR-specific Roadrunner Bags stem-mount (basically just an extra big stem caddy/feed bag). I dont use it for a camera but it's a great bag and it's intended to fit an SLR w/ lens, so I think this would be a good option. you can pick the colors you want, and the pricing is good. http

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

I have the Revelate Feed Bag and the Banana Sack. The Feed Bag may be a bit smallish for most SLRs but I can see the Banana Sack working out well. (As a caveat, I haven't tried using either to carry an SLR.) --Ed C. On Friday, September 28, 2018 at 9:13:54 AM UTC-7, Neil Doran wrote: > > What

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

Dear Ryan, I'd second this approach. Alternatively, get a thwart bag (Rivendell sold them for a long spell) and add a foam insert, get a full-size handlebar bag like an Ortleib (available with a photo insert) that clamps to the handlebars, or a full-on decaleur/handlebar bag/support rack. Bes

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

The Berthoud GB25 is a fantastic bag if you are not concerned about weight. Empty, and without stiffner, it is 600+ grams. You would also need a front rack to support it. But it has so much function, it is worth it if you are a string rider and not weight concerned. I have one for sale if intere

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

I prefer a rack supported type bag, I had the Rivendell bag with Nitto F15 rack, the bag was super cool with a magnet in the lid to keep it closed, typical Rivendell Bag quality, wish they'd designed it to fit over a tombstone to sit on a Marks Rack. I didn't care for how it affected my bikes h

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

I can fit my old Canon EOS 3, or 20D, with a Canon 50mm 1.4 lens in my Ostrich Biwa Ichi bar bag . Easy access, too. It's just an open bag, so you'd have to place some foam in there to keep it from moving about. I love this bag. Tom -- You receive

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

That Outer Shell is a pretty nifty bag! Basically just what I'm looking for, especially with the camera insert. I have a Swift bag that lives in the same spot on the bars, but this one looks more versatile. On Friday, September 28, 2018 at 9:59:22 AM UTC-7, Adam in Indiana wrote: > > I'm quite f

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

Lotsa good ideas here, as usual. Thanks Bunch! I picked up a Revelate feedbag yesterday at my local REI and immediately did not like it...my knee hits it when I stand to pedal. Plus my camera does not fit, so no go. I am a dedicated Mark's rack and basket guy (and I load it heavy, ha!). I've b

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

One thing I do not like about the GB bags is the strap that attaches to the tombstone. I wish it had tighter tolerances. On Friday, September 28, 2018 at 4:13:15 PM UTC-4, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > > The Berthoud GB25 is a fantastic bag if you are not concerned about > weight. Empty, and without sti

[RBW] Re: handlebar/stem bags - what do people like?

I just got a Pedal Bikes Shoot Film stem mount camera bag from Rivelo/Randi Jo. It’s an excellent size with decent padding, waterproof fabric, and a rolltop design. I use it with a rangefinder, but it fits my FM2, Olympus OM1, and Nikon F3 with pancake 50mm. Highly recommended! You can find it o

You could try drilling holes between the stock strap holes to fit Tstone better. -- 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 to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...

And BTW, plenty of room in GB192 for SLR and lenses with foam insert. Not too big, but plenty big enough...with some room to spare. Grab it right out of bag with just a quick slip of elastic band. We've owned lots of bags through the years, beginning with old TA circa 1970, but this surpasses
