Re: The post man's been ...
Hi, I've got other bags for actual bikepacking, usually a wild cat harness and dry bag on the front with my tent and sleep gear.
I just got this for audax style days, but It might fit my down jacket in or 2 season bag in, but not tried. If I was credit card touring it would work well for easy to get to stuff.
I've looked at more regular touring bar bags but this seemed to fit the bill for what I wanted with size and velcro attachment.

Thanks for this... I've just stuffed the sleeping bag in the Revelate bar bag and will see if I can get it to squeezeModer-dye wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:51 pm Hi, I've got other bags for actual bikepacking, usually a wild cat harness and dry bag on the front with my tent and sleep gear.

...with a rather fetching T-shirt. Just got to find an appropriate puddle now.
Bonus: voucher enclosed: "we have identified your order as one that did not meet our high standards of dispatch time, by way of apology please find a £10 voucher". Well that's very impressive. TBH if it had turned up in June I'd have been happy since there won't be any sunshine until then. So what to spend the voucher on? Same again of course!

I must admit I didn't explore further, did you hand craft that one yourself presumably?

They were very helpful, initial contact took a while but once they had responded to the enquiry it was pretty good.
If at first you don't succeed you're running about average!

Re: The post man's been ...
Landed yesterday from Andy at BackcountyScot and fitted today. Some may frown at panniers but I thought I'd give them a go instead of using the seatpack. My thinking is easy to access stuff and yes, I know if you pack a seatpack right there's no faff. The last time I used panniers was Sutherland in 2014. Will be interesting to see if I get on with them...

...finally, with a pair of Deore 2x10 shifters to replace the ones on my Longitude which have indicators, with these that don't, so I can move them further inboard on my loop bars.
Posted second class last Monday. Just glad they weren't lost, and hope other things I'm waiting for are just delayed too.

Re: The post man's been ...
And me. Complete with that voucher....kind of keen to spend it, but you HAVE to design your own... I'll think/sleep on it....
Re: The post man's been ...
That tee shirt for me today as well, and the voucher, I don't feel as special now that I know everyone's got a voucher

"You are very special Sean". There you go

Call me an old cynic (wot, me?) but as soon as I saw my voucher I thought "that's a clever marketing ruse. I bet it will make me buy another shirt from them".
