[RBW] Re: Sackville BarSack headlight compatibility?
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 (BM Ixon) mounts to the front tab of the rack, so there's no interference. (Sorry, I know this isn't really an answer to your question, but I had a similar concern so just avoided the problem altogether) -Pete (been a hack since way back...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

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?

Due to the BarSack's positioning, especially on a Rivvish/Bobbish positioning, I don't see good front end behavior coming out of this. So far I'm hacking my old Rhode Gear bag to suit a top/bottom mount. This will move it about two inches closer to the steering axis and two inches lower. This will reduce the bag's effect on fork moment of inertia considerably, which can't be a bad thing. The bike was showing some not-good handling features due to positioning the bag high and three inches or so out from the 'bar. It should be improved. On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 2:01 PM, J.

[RBW] Re: Sackville Barsack
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 on and off as needed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Sackville BarSack
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 basically unnecessary. They are there to prevent the bag from slipping off the front, but the fit is such that the bag is not likely to completely slide off without you noticing. So you could leave off the bolts for easy removal. Alternatively, you could find different bolts -- such as wing bolts -- which would be easier to unscrew. It is a standard metric thread, maybe an 8M. Greg On Feb 11, 10:47 am, William Henderson william.c.hender...@gmail.com wrote: Seriously eyeing this bag.

[RBW] Re: Sackville BarSack
From the horse's (his/Grant's) mouth, the main compartment is: 9.5 inches wide, 7 inches front-to-back, and about 8 inches tall. Or 240 x 178 x 200. (mm) (W x L x D) This is as wide as a large Ortlieb, but both deeper and longer front to back: 240 x ~135 x 175 (W x L x D). (Length is an average because the front of the bag is curved; sides are 120, center is 150.) Narrower than a small Berthoud, but longer (front to back) and equally deep: 270 x 145 x 200 (W x L x D). About the removal, couldn't you use washers small enough that the leather sleeves will slide over them if the bag is lifted slightly, but still prevent the leather sleeves from sliding over them if there is any kind of weight in the bag? And yes, the bolts on the front of the rack are M8s (perhaps with built-in washers, judging from the photo on benscycle.net) I am getting one!

If you didn't want to deal with unscrewing the bolts to remove the bag you could just plug the tubes with beeswax and sew a couple of fasteners to the back side and clip them around the back bar.

It looks like a fine bag for the right user and setup, but...

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.

[RBW] Re: Sackville BarSack
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 to go Rivendell. It seems really well engineered, too. Note the clever combo side pocket covers that double as the side flaps for the main compartment. I like the absence of rear pockets, as it makes for a much more comfortable shoulder bag (when I tour, I put my photo gear in my handlebar bag and thus end up carrying it around whenever I am off the bike). An option to mount on a Nitto mini front would be very nice. Since the bottom is all leather, but backed with cloth (see 4th photo, of interior), cutting slots into the leather for mounting points to a rack should be relatively straight forward. But the stiffeners will require a bit more work (fabric corners sewn into the interior top corners to slide the corners of a stiffener under?). Btw, Benscycle is out of stock on F-15s.

[RBW] Re: Sackville BarSack
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 then I went ahead and picked up a small TrunkSack and SaddleSack and really love them. The TS is perfect for shorter rides or when easy access to stuff while riding isn't essential. But for brevets I really like being able to view the cue sheet easily like you can with the Berthoud. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
