• I have the opportunity of adding mounts on my frame before it goes to paint (at a cost). I've seen images of super neat framebags mounted to frame bosses, like this:

    Apart from the obvious permanency vs. ease-of-removal comparison against a velcro setup, is there anything else I should be considering? Is one system inherently better than the other?

  • looks real nice but I would imagine the stem cell would be pretty floppy and having them mounted to bosses would limit being able to use the bags on multiple bikes.

  • The bags are reinforced to work with bosses. The bags will be custom for a tandem, so doubt they'd fit anything else (and I won't have any other bike anyway).

    In a way the permanency is quite appealing to me, if I have them attached to frame is a couple bags less to remove from the bike every night. But it costs more as well, so I'm weighing up if it's worth it or not.
