Homemade 'stem cell'/feed bag bikepacking bags.

I'm a definite for floral :)

Got mine a couple of days ago, really chuffed with it, fits perfectly! Only a little nag - the velcro straps could be half an inch longer; just about fits at the narrowest bit of the stem.

I will take a Floral please.

Mine arrived yesterday but I was home too late to attach it. Super excited to get it on tonight.

That's good feedback for me! I'll incorporate it on my next batch. Thanks.

Love mine too and probably want 2 more black/camo. Where's the list gone?! How do I order?

Here's the current list feel free to add yourself again. More fabric should be arriving early next week. Right now I have 4 bags ready to go out so I'll PM those at the top of the list tomorrow!

Love it!

Fits perfectly. Longer velcro would suit chunkier stems, although mine was fine.

Put mine through its paces today with a full size flask. Another bit of velcro round the head tube would have worked a treat but other than going wonky it stood up to the weight no problem. Cheers!

These look great!

Good point! I have been considering adding another loop of webbing at the seam at the bottom of the bag, like in the picture below. Which could be used exactly as you describe to anchor the bag to the headtube. In this case it would probably better to use elastic cord as it would be very difficult to have a spot for this strap that would allow the use of velcro with different stem lengths plus I know from experience have something that is velcro to the headtube and the bars does give a noticeable bit of 'resistance' when turning at slow speeds as the velcro rubs on the headtube. If I was to include this feature on subsequent bags I would probably have to add a small amount to the current price to cover the cost of the extra webbing, elastic cord and cord lock to secure it, that would probably equate to only £1.50 extra per bag and this could be on an opt in basis. Google outershells drawcord handlebar for a better idea of what I mean!

How much is a top tube bag likely to cost?

Hey, I'm going to get a tool roll done this evening hopefully so I will put pictures up tomorrow. But basically exactly the same as the design done by Yanco, Mack workshop, Big X top to name but a few. Cheers!
