Flat handlebar and CDW style front bag   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1662 of 1716 |
Hi.

Last year i have sewn a harness i can attach to my handlebar. This harness let
me use a 10L dry bag in front. It give me a setup similar to Carousel Design
Work (Pretty amazing bags!) front bag. I strap this harness to my On-One Mary
handlebar. Works great.

I have sewn a similar one for my wife. She was using a flat handlebar. It seem i
can't attach the harness correctly. I can't even bring the harness/bag near the
handlebar enough for securing it correctly. I have switched her handlebar over
to riser bar. It works great.

Can a setup like CDW front bag work with flat handlebar?

What do you put into your front CDW bags? Some talk about bedroll. How wide and
how big are your bedroll? What'S inside? It seem i can only go as big as my 10L
bag since i use a front suspension onto my 29er.

Thanks!

Of the Divide racers that have stopped here more of them have been using Eric's bags than Jeff's. Kurt Refsnider had the harness bag arrangement on his bike...
