Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

that is fucking beautiful!

Is there an alternative to the klik fix handlebar mount for a carradice super c bag? I've only used it for touring but thought it was absolutely crap, it kept slipping every time I hit a bump, no matter how much I tightened it up.

Does it have a sort of extension that sits under your stem to prevent that? I have a bar bag with a bracket that does but I have no idea if it's compatible with a Carradice.

Did you put electric tape on the bar? Do you also have the wire that prevent it from slipping down?

.

^^ no and no.... Top tips,thanks. Might cotton bar tape work better? Bit grippier maybe. While I'm here, any tips for front mudguards that will fit a bike with small clearances? And Doppelkorn, no it doesn't.

See the post above yours, ha ha. Both good tips so thanks! I'll try that and see how I get on. How does the wire work? As in where does it attach to the bag. Mine is second hand and I didn't even realise it was meant to come with a wire.

My phone was playing up and send twice for some reason.

Look at the stem - see the wire looping underneath it preventing it from sliding down;

I went touring with the Klick-fix, the only issue is that the Carradice Super C bag sag a bit after a while, not a very strong bag despite being tough.

Ah, got it, cheers! I'll try and bodge something similar.

Crud road racers fit even with tight clearances. not for wide tires though..

Looks ideal, my tyres are only 25mm so should be fine. If anyone has a front for sale, hit me up!

...not sure you'll get cruds over 25s.

O ) vs o)
As long as you have vertical clearance it'll work, just not ideally in terms of overspray.

If I can pick a front up cheap I'll give it a go, trying to avoid half a 2 litre coke bottle cable tied to the downtube!

I've just fitted a customer bike with 25mm tyres, it's tight but doable.

Turns out they're 23 anyway! I have no idea why I thought otherwise....

Does anyone have any recommendations of large saddle bags, asides from the apidura, revelate or alpkit ones. I'm after that sort of style, rather than Carradice:

And does anyone have one of those, or any other brand for sale?

check the bikepacking thread

I use this one from Bikepack

Is bikepack down or is it just me? Really want one of their saddlebags.

you could email him.
