Podsacs 'anything' cages? anyone tried them?

[Ledburyjosh]

Has anyone tried the podsacs anything cages from on-one/planet X?

seems very reasonable £25 with a dry bag..

I've tried the bags and they were good (tested by filling oje to the top with water and leaving it for a while wrapped from top... no leakages (missus would have been annoyed).. but due to the weight I moved em on (around 700g per bag or am pretty sure even more)...

Personally I'd not trust PX cages for such an important bit of kit but maybe I'm (trying to be) a bit posh

[Ledburyjosh]

The website says 140g per bag so if that's right its not much.

tempted to try them and find out if no one else has

[redefined_cycles]

Sounds like BS. It's the PX way

[middleagedmadness]

I use a couple of the dry bags off them ,very tarpaulin like and tough which is what I want in fork bags ,sorry shaf there's no way that they weigh nearly 3/4 of a kilo

[ScotRoutes]

Maybe 700g for the whole setup?

Maybe 700g for the whole setup?

I think that's more like it Colin ,I just dropped one on the analogue scales in the kitchen and it's under 200g

Ok... I'm seriously embarassed eith myself and got it wrong. Seriously naughty step time for me to contemplate my actions for a few weeks...

Also, I might need to send a personal apology (public... this could be it) to Brant and the other guy...

Dear Brant R... I'm really extremely very very sorry. Won't let it happen again

Why get embarrassed shaf id be apologizing every day for what comes out of my mouth

Part of the religion MAM... If I say something thats insulting of someone, as well as incorrect, then its oficially speaking classed as slander ... My old age and memory means I think I would pribably be better served "engaging brain (Mrs Lindley in 1986 taught mw that) before opening mouth"... "Jack the Lad" (if you must know what she also used to say of/to me

Well I got some of the podpads cages.
First impressions are good. Seem super sturdy and strong plastic. Comes with fittings for multiple types of fork.

Sadly the dry bag is just a tiny bit narrow for my stove/pots so may change them.

Hopefully they last after a good use. I see no reason they won't.

I got a set last week too - did 280km with them this weekend on gravel tracks, roads and about 30km of single track & bridleway. They seem fine although I guess that is not too much of a test. Dry bags are very robust but are quite small - not sure if I can get my Alpkit mug in, I'll check!

I would be interested in the internal diameter of the Podsac if you get a chance to measure it.
Might be perfect for my cook kit.

[ianpv]

An older 700ml alpkit ti mug fits in fine, I tried it earlier - will measure tomorrow...

[Ledburyjosh]

I'll measure it later for you.
I was hoping I could get my alpkit to nesting pots in but unfortuanlty not

[redefined_cycles]

Is this £25 for the one side cage only?? (With bag off course)..

Anyone used these Topeak Versacage?? Thinking of one for the front sus forks to carry sleeping gear...

TLS folks, TLS.

RE TLS it depends on what i am doing
Sometimes I want to ride long and fast [ for me so i TLS - its survival mode basically]
Sometimes I want to ride at a leisurely place and then wild camp early and practice "bushcraft" so need more stuff

Sometimes I am carryING for me and two kids so I need all the space I have

i take whatever i need for the type of trip i am doing

[ianpv]

£25 each side, yes - still works out a lot cheaper than other options that I could find. The cages look very similar to the Topeak ones.

Thats what I'm trying to work on Colin. Mixing n matching and all that...

[Ledburyjosh]

What's TLS?

Transport Layer Security as well but that's probably not relevant this conversation

[ianpv]

The diameter of the dry bags is about 12cm. My mug is 10.5 cm diameter and fits very easily, with room to slide some extra stuff down the sides.

[Andiphim]

Thanks for that.
Sounds like my snow peak pot should fit nicely.
