[RBW] Re: Small Sackville Saddlesack, will it fit, or will it sag?

John, mine holds shape well, and I tend to stuff it full with fairly dense things like ventile and wool. Here's a shot of mine after a number of years of use: https://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/18386266819/in/dateposted-public/ With abandon, Patrick On Friday, October 16, 2015 at

[RBW] Small Sackville Saddlesack, will it fit, or will it sag?

Hi, I'm looking for something bigger than the XS Sackville saddlebag to use when I'm not using a rear rack. I'm one of those who doesn't have much space to spare between the saddle of my 54cm Hunq, and the rear tire, especially when I'm riding fatter tires. When I checked again this

Thanks Patrick, Your photos are a big help. Your Small Sackville certainly seems to be holding up & keeping its shape very nicely. John On Friday, October 16, 2015 at 11:51:32 AM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > John, mine holds shape well, and I tend to stuff it full with fairly dense >

Re: [RBW] Re: soma san marcos?

Likely Soma's specs are referring to *with *fenders , so that would account for the 42mm tires *without *fenders on the bike in the image. As always, a phone call should clear that up. On Friday, October 16, 2015 at 11:21:41 AM UTC-4, Tim Gavin wrote: > > > > On Fri, Oct 16, 2015 at

Re: [RBW] Re: soma san marcos?

I also imagine that there is some lawyer-language regarding "safe" minimum clearances with fenders, etc. In the same way that apparently a Mark's Rack can only carry like a peanut and some feathers, this could be a conservative estimate to appease the legal department. -J On Friday, October

Just gave them a call and said 42s would probably be too tight a fit. After looking at other pictures of the cazadero, I also think fenders and 42s probably wouldn't work. I think I'll just save my money for now. On Friday, October 16, 2015 at 2:49:39 PM UTC-4, Justin August wrote: > > I also

[RBW] Re: Small Sackville Saddlesack, will it fit, or will it sag?

It seems to hold shape fairly well. Though it would depend on how heavy you stuff it. I've seen some ones that were sagging (they seemed to be used heavily, and very sunbleached and old). You can always get a smaller light weight rear rack. I used a Marks rack in the rear. Super useful. On

When I went from albatross to albastache, I dropped down from a 110 stem to an 80 based on Sean's recommendation at Riv. The 30mm reduction was perfect. My only regret was not spending a little more on the brake levers. The Tiagras tend to rattle a little. John -- You received this

+1 for the Albastache. I recently installed one on my Atlantis. It replaced an older 25.4 Moustache. I like both, but the Albastashe is a more "generalist" bar: wider, slightly more sweep, more relaxed. It's not a cruiser bar, it is a comfortable bar. I wouldn't hesitate to take it in the

Hi David, Do you want the 25.4mm Moustache bars just for that clamp size? Or do you also want the Moustache bars that take mountain bike shifters and brake levers? If yes to the second question, I have the Hsin Lung Moustache bars with that configuration: 25.4mm and mountain bike stuff.
