[RBW] Re: frame bags on your Riv: anybody tried 'em?

+1 on the Jandd recommendation. Cheap, got all the features, durable. It is not waterproof like the Revelate, though water resistant - good enough for any day-ride. I do use it on some touring, though for long trips will use a custom full size bag. Fits several of my bikes 👍 -- You received th

I despise them for the constant leg/fabric on fabric sound. Great salesman that I am (sardonic grin), I have a large (21.5” long) Frost River Trezona if anyone is interested in trying it. Mounted on the bike and ridden a few hundred yards, so near new condition. $75 shipped. PM me if interested.

[RBW] Re: frame bags on your Riv: anybody tried 'em?

I use a half wedge frame bag from roadrunner bags that doesnt monopolize too much space. i keep a water bladder/straw in it that is the same size as a nalgene. that way i can get to the water easier while riding and can use a water bottle for keeping food/alcohol in. https://roadrunnerbags.us/

Re: [RBW] Re: Frame bags

Patrick, Thanks for your interest. A bag like what you describe would start at about $180 in tan canvas with one large compartment. I have not done one for a compact frame yet so there would be a bit of back and forth tracing of your internal triangle shape and locating all of your braze ons etc.

Nice bag. After reading that it does't interfere with your bottles, I thought it might be the thing to use on my Fargo, but I see from the photos that on a 17" (43cm) severely compacted frame, it wouldn't do at all. Must check their other models On Sun, May 20, 2012 at 8:11 AM, stevew wrote: > H

Hi all, Just a few notes on the Revelate Tangle frame bag. I went ahead and ordered the medium size to go with my 60cm Ram. (shipped to Boston from Alaska in 3 days!) I went with the medium because I don't need a ton of space for this bag, and I wanted to minimize any difficulty with getting wat

and some pvc piping/welt cord on the edges before you flip the fabric. Add some 1050 ballistic on the edge touching the frame, and some thin semi-flex plastic inside to reinforce/distribute stress caused by the allen bolts. Oh, and large fender washers, or a 1.5" strip of aluminum. On Monday, M

The bag on the hunter was made by the woman in Santa Cruz who sews awesome hats, Randy Joe. Those bags used snaps to connect to the frame. They were made from that xpac ripstop stuff, stiff and light. The fabric was very taught on the frame. It was nice. Frame bags are usually 2inch thick. Jandd

Steve, I ended up not using the bag on the 300k. I did a test ride the night before and noticed my legs lightly brushed the sides and wasn't sure if I could tolerate that over 300k so I went with an old standby-- Carradice Nelson LF. I'll try and measure it tomorrow morning and get back to you. Rea

I have an idea in my mind that frame bags should mount to bottle bosses in the and down top tubes. You'd need to reinforce the bag edges, and you'd need to modify the bike, but it would look cleaner, and wouldn't un-buff the paint. Philip Philip Williamson www.biketinker.com On Saturday, A

[RBW] Re: Frame bags

One issue with frame bags is that they chafe the paint. After a short time with a frame bag, the top tube paint will have an unevenly buffed luster. Some will call it beausage and some will suffer indescribable anguish. Maybe some cloth tape around the tube first? -- You received this message

Well, I admit I'm not particularly excited by the notion of a frame bag. However, I would definitely be interested n an RBW/Sackville take on that notion. I also appreciate the illustration presented here of the morphing of our language. The words "early adopter" are replaced by "EA" with the q

I own a couple of Revelate Tangle bags. Quite nice and quality is excellent. Only problem I have with them - when mounted, it is difficult or nearly impossible to use both bottle cages with large bottles. Not as much of an issue if using a bladder in the bag or on the back. But if one is ju

Berthoud makes a tiny frame bag that is probably like half-a-Keven's in useful capacity but which is made of nice materials and fits with the general RBW aesthetic somewhat. It does not do the carrying-the-bike-up-the-stairs thing well. The penchant Berthoud has for "Klick-Fix" attachments is in

Re: [RBW] Re: Frame bags

I've had one of the old Jandd frame bags a long time. It's not as big as the Revelate Tangle, but it holds as much as 3 jersey pockets would. Also true that it doesn't affect handling in any noticeable way. Two things to consider: if you're a top tube brusher like I am, you'll be swish swishing you

[RBW] Re: Frame bags

Patrick, the large size Tangle bag is designed for bikes with a TT of 58 to 60cm if I remember correctly. The Pika saddlebag is aimed at small sized 29ers where tire to the underside of saddle space is limited but would also work on a road bike. It's unfortunate that the Gas Tank doesn't work well

Re: [RBW] Re: Frame bags

You'll have to find the dimensions somewhere and compare. Or just email Eric at Revelate and ask him. He's done lots of bags for Fargos, so he knows them well. An 18" Pugsley framebag fit my 18" Troll no problem. And a 20" Pugsley bag fits an 18" Pugsley from the previous generation of that mod
