[RBW] Re: Volume in liters of original Hoss saddlebag?

2011-10-01 Thread Roger
I retyped the capacities of the Bonanza bags from a 2006 catalogue,
but that post may have been scrubbed by the system instead of posted.

From my own experience, I've hauled in it a 15lb turkey with mirepoix
for stuffing on one occasion, and another time had two 6lb pork
shoulders, 5lbs of sausage, and my 15 computer with its thick foam
padding. Both times I was afraid of the well-used straps snapping, but
the bag was _not quite_ filled. Hoss is huge.

 I am interested in one that may be available as the principal luggage
 for my (God willing) soon-to-arrive Ken Rogers trike.

It's only slightly smaller than my Volvo 240's trunk.  That's almost not

I'd say more like 1.5 PGS. The interior is just about exactly paper
sack sized (long way is front to back on the Hoss, not side to side).
With the two side pockets and bulging the top, you could get another
0.5-0.75 PGS.  I found I needed a front basket plus the Hoss back when

Thanks, Joe; this is very useful information. I might hold out for a
rack and bricklayer's bag instead. We'll see. I usually do a couple of
shopping trips a week between my own and my mother's shopping, but
given the great usefulness of the wide, flat basket on the Worksman
(it easily holds two full sacks with a little room to spare) I may opt
for a flat rack to which I can bungee or lash a big bag or milk crate.
(I just now carried home a grocery sack and two geraniums.)

Per this pdf, the Hoss was about 26 liters
http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/pdf/rbw_bag_capacities0507.pdf
I have one, and agree with Tim it's almost twice the size of a Nelson
Longflap.  (Yes, I have too many bags).
As a test, was able to fit a Eureka Spitfire 2 tent (recommended by
Grant), Wiggy's sleeping bag and a Big Agnes inflatable pad in easily,
with room to stuff in some clothes.

Not saying it's big but - you saddlebag is so big, smaller bags orbit
around it like satellites.

2011-09-24 Thread Thomas Lynn Skean
Chiming in with yet another confirming source: the Wayback Machine. Per 
www.rivbike.com circa 2005...

THE INEVITABLE SIZE COMPARISON:

Keep in mind that these bags all have extra long flaps so they actually hold 
more than the stated size.

LITTLE JOE: 400 c.i. or 6,490 cc. It's hard to describe the shape of the Little 
Joe...it's not really a paisley like the Banana Bag but it isn't a rectangle 
either. It's more like a trapezoid with rounded corners. It's about 11 wide at 
the mouth and about 8 deep. The sides are about 6 long and they taper from 
the 8 at the mouth to about 4 at the tail end.

ADAM: 780 c.i. or 12,780 cc. The Adam is about 6 tall by 13 wide by 9 long.

HOSS: 1010 c.i. or 16,520 cc. The Hoss is about 7 tall by 14 wide by 11 long.

 I have one, and agree with Tim it's almost twice the size of a Nelson
 Longflap.  (Yes, I have too many bags).
 As a test, was able to fit a Eureka Spitfire 2 tent (recommended by
 Grant), Wiggy's sleeping bag and a Big Agnes inflatable pad in easily,
 with room to stuff in some clothes.
 
 Not saying it's big but - you saddlebag is so big, smaller bags orbit
 around it like satellites.
