Swift Industries vs Ortlieb panniers

Get a half frame bag.

Will fit you bike better and carry as much stuff as small handle bar bag.

Yesssss but no #randovibez with a half frame bag :stuck_out_tongue:

That glacier looks a ripper and exactly what I’m after - same as the RR to be honest. I do now want a rack on my cross bike, I really just wanted something to stash a couple of little things in. not too concerned about access while riding - can just stop and do stuff. Thanks for the advice everyone - lots of food for thought.
Any Melbourne tips on where I can grab something before the weekend though? Was hoping to have a solution in place before I ride up Mt Barrow and Ben Lomond on the weekend

I have the burrito - very good, easy to open when riding… closing it while riding is not as easy though as you need two hands. One on the zip, the other to stabilize the other end if that makes sense.

As far as getting something for this week, try the BO Gear Cell block (M). Cam tried this out on his handlebars recently with success…

^legend - Thanks Ezy!

its entirely possible that commuter will have some apidura, revelate or ortleib barbags…

They do - however I’m hoping for something I can access from the top, ideally without a rack or bracket being required. I’ll be swinging past tonight (work permitting) to see what’s on offer

Work excellently (Ortlieb whatever I have) but the mounts are fucking ugly.

This is something I worry about

front pocket from the revelate handlebar roll is able to mounted directly to the bars on its own. Abbotsford have the velcro straps to mount it in stock, they’re like $6 or thereabouts

Hello AL9000!
What is the rack you’re using with the Ozette bag?

Haulin’ Colin / Cyclefab

Thanks! I’m trying to figure out rack-to-bag compatibility. The Cyclefab porteur rack is indefinitely our of stock.
What’s the rack on the other bike there?

I’m considering a VO pass hunter with the Ozette Rando Bag.
My bike has canti bosses, threaded fork midblade mounts as well as eyelets on the dropout. Do you have any suggestions about that?

Compass UD-1

Nitto M18 or 32F

Consider Nitto M12/VO Passhunter, but apparently they can break at the crown mount braze. I have three and they’re all fine so far, with an Ozette. Best to cold set them so they slide right on and sit flush. It’s tempting to fit them under tension.

Thats helpful! Thanks for the tip.

The other is an Orc Rack
