Re: [RBW] Riv's new handlebar bag

[Roberta]

It's a nice looking bag.  I've been looking for one this size for awhile 
and the best I came up with is Swift's or Brooks.  This one is bigger in 
dimensions and longer (you can fit a bike pump, lunch, additional layer, 
basic flat fixing items and have room left over).  I also like the fact 
that there is an additional internal flap to help protect the contents.

Thanks for the review.  I might put this on my short list.

I've been pretty impressed with the Routewerks handlebar bag that I bought 
about 18 months ago. It's well thought out and made, totally stable in use, 
and attaches and detaches from the mount in a couple fo seconds with a cam 
action similar to a quick release. I got two mounts with it, so I can 
easily swap it between bikes.

Re: [RBW] Riv's new handlebar bag

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

My biggest issue with handlebar bags of this type is that most designs have a 
tendency to sway forward and back and rely on complicated (and, IMHO ugly) 
systems of cords or straps lashed to the frame or handlebars to prevent sway. 

I have a Velo Orange handlebar bag collecting dust in my closet because I could 
get the darn thing to just sit still while I was riding. It would work just 
fine sitting on a rack or some type of bar-mounted support, but as designed and 
just strapped to the bars it sways a lot, even with those ugly cords.

Looking forward to hearing from users of Rivendell’s new bag to see how it 
performs.
