Handlebar Harness Advice
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2013 4:51 pm
Thanks to one of the forum members I have my back end (teehee) luggage sorted with a WCG Tiger.
So now my mind is turning to the front end. I currently use a couple of sea-to-summit compression dry bags a 20Lt and a 10Lt.
My first ride I had the 20 on the back and the 10 on the front. I changed this around for the second ride as the bag was close to the wheel with the 20 on the back. Now I will have the Tiger I will need to use the 10L on the back.
Using the compression sack on the handle bars is OK but it takes a little bit of time to remove and re-attach to the bike if I need something out of it so I am thinking a harness will be more user friendly.
I would also like to stick to the 20Lt bag as it holds all my light stuff - sleeping bag, down vest, sleep mat, bivi bag and bug inner tent and compresses down to about 15Lt.
So, now I will stop rambling and get down to my question. Does anyone know if any of the handlebar harnesses are large enough to work with a 20Lt bag (at around 15Lt or so size)?
Using the bag alone I have plently of clearance from the front tyre so that should not be a problem.
I would also be keen to hear from WCG harness owners as I like to keep things matching (I am a little OCD).
Cheers in advance!
