  • I've used an Ortlied handlebar bag which, despite a few differences in size, looks like it mounts the same and sits in roughly the same position as this one. I found it a bit of a pain, it placed a load of weight quite high up which was quite fatiguing on the arms after a while.

    If you just want space for luggage, that isn't so easily accessible then I'd consider simply and Alpkit dry bag, hanging of the handlebars. The issue is where it rests, ie, if you have sturdy mudguards then that's fine and I added a seperate section of cable housing to cover where it sat against the brake cable from the canti brakes. I found this to be a pretty much perfect way of carrying things out the way and with minimal issues on the handling of the bike.

    Not a conclusive answer, but something to consider.

  • I picked up one of their full size randos the other day. Yet to properly put it through its paces, but the quality looks/feels fantastic. Not sure if they are on the website, but certainly pics on here: https://instagram.com/bigxtop/. They are super flexible on design too if you want something funky.

  • Personally, those bar bag are much better for bicycle that isn't designed for touring in mind.

    Those bag and mount are surprisingly light (klick-fix system et all tend to be very heavy), and the small size force you to take what's necessary.
