Re: [ultralightbiking] Flat handlebar and CDW style front bag

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 and I was extremely impressed.  It allows you to use  whatever size stuff sack you choose and gives you the ability to pop it off without undoing any straps.

I'd say you can't go wrong with either bag maker but I want that handlebar harness, don't know if Jeff would make one of those or not.

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!
