• Have an idea of combining ILE porteur rackbag with Pelago commuter medium front rack. Any comments on that, would it be too wobbly with rack being 220mm wide?

  • I have an ILE porteur bag I use on a Surly 24 pack rack and it fits well on that platform. I needed a larger bag for my work laptop so that was my starting criteria and the ILE was the best option. When I started looking at racks, I discounted the Pelago from my consideration because of that size difference.

    It is a massive bag that holds more than my TLevel backpack. Not sure how much you need to carry around but the bottom of the bag is not solid. If you're just carring small amounts of "stuff" you're probably OK. Perhaps an insert (i.e: cut down estate agent sign) might help. But in my limited experience I would say try to get the closest match you can.

    If you're stuck on the Pelago then maybe a Swift Industries or a Freight porteur/backpack might be better options for your choice of bags.

  • I have the ILE rackbag with the large Pelago rack. The rack is slighlty narrower than the bag, but everything works well ! I fear the medium rack may be too narrow...
