[RBW] Rivendell Banana Sack

2019-12-11 Thread Joe Bernard
Yes, this folding lock will fit in a Banana. It's a little fiddly to learn - tip: you will unlock it and drop the metal end on your frame, so don't be near your frame! - but once you've used it a couple times it's super handy for short-ish lockups in safe-ish areas. https://www.rivbike.com/prod

I replaced my Saddlesack small with a Banana Sax and it’s worked out well. Unless I needed to carry a fleece or a jacket, I just wasn’t using the space offered with the Saddlesack. It’s surprisingly large. I hang it on the back of a Brooks Flyer Special with the springs. I do find that the s

The Current BagBoy is deeper than the Small it replaced, I would probably need a support to use one. You'll need to do some reading and measuring to see if it'll work for you, but if you can swing it that's one swanky bag 👍 https://www.rivbike.com/products/sackville-bagboy -- You received this

Thanks Joe. I’m happy to read first hand experience. Well that settles it. I’ll get the small. Is the current small Riv sells larger than the one you had? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and s

Coming from the perspective of using them on the back then (I've owned all three): The Banana was a struggle for me on bikes with racks and fenders. My idea was to use one in place of a bigger saddlebag on no-load rides, but that position put the toggle right on top of the racks on the smaller

Good feedback so far. I plan to hang it behind my Brooks saddle. I won’t need quick access while riding but I also noticed Leah that the Banana sack seemed to offer easier access in general. Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" g

We also have to determine if Doug means Small Saddlesack like the grey one that just got posted FS here, or the XS Leah is taking about. Banana Sax is about smack dab in the middle of those two sizes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bun

You want opinions, you say? I got opinions! My two boys and I have those bags and here’s what we think. The Clem Rider and I have the XS Saddlesacks we use on our Bosco bars. We think they look sleek. Gray grid for his grilver Clem and sapphire blue for my magic blue Clem. We like the looks bu

I’m looking to buy either a Banana Sack or Small Saddle Bag (also the Riv one). I’d like to read some opinions of both. Thanks! Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails fr
