My New Sackville SaddleSack…

…is going to cost me more money. 🙂
Actually that’s only because I think I’m going to have to figure out a decent way to mount it properly. I knew this going in, so I’m not complaining.
Here’s the bag itself…
Sackville Saddlesack Large
You can see a 12-inch ruler on the bag to lend a sense of scale to the image. It’s a big bag. 🙂
The quality seems excellent. While I haven’t tried it yet, it’s a pleasure to feel. I can’t wait to get home and see about hooking it up.
The big problem with my commuter bike is that the rack is well below the seat, about a foot. The bag is only about 8 inches tall and fasteners aren’t quite that long. This bag is big enough that it requires a rack to support it and that means I need to come up with a solution. I’m thinking that a seat post rack would work fine and may even be an improvement in one fashion – the bag would be removable if the rack is on a quick release. I am worried about this bag being stolen, that’s how nice it is. 🙂
Anyway I’m a couple of hours from a solution, so no worries. I’ll fix it all up in a bit.
Aloha!
