  • Always an option, but gonna try the saddle bag thing first. The bike is built and did what I want it to, but the fine tuning might take a few goes!

  • If you're carrying that much daily, I think an audax may be a bit small.
    You could always have someone replace the leather straps on your nelson with poly webbing and plastic buckles/clips.

  • Yeah, I’ve just dug out the Nelson and I’m not even sure this is quite big enough now. And as always, I’ve done a lot of overthinking and got a bit carried away.
    Thinking to just buy the bigger bagman quick release and use the Nelson and see how the size is in reality. I’ve got the bits to swap the leather straps for plastic buckles if it’s a good fit and the buckles are actually that annoying.
    I did like the small internal zip pockets on the Audax tho, so might try and rigour out something similar.

    I did this and have no regrets. Huge improvement on the fiddly leather straps and cheaper than buying a whole new bag
