Make your own bike bag.
In 1990 having some worn out cannondale bags i chose to use their frames for my new bags thus simplifying some problems.
Get your u bolt and place them on the rack.
Make a safety draw cord for attaching the bag through the loops of the d part onto the bike frame.
It was time to get serious about making my own gear.
You are really counting dollars.
Google diy homemade myog bikepacking frame bag.
With the recent purchase and building of my new bike which is intended to be a mountainbike bikepacking monster.
Length of the velcro straps depends on your stem and handlebar circumference.
It is better you place the saddlebag on you left side of the bike so it won t interfere with any moving part of the bike like the sprocket.
So how do you make a bike packing frame bag.
Now strap on the bag on your bike and you are ready to go.
Insert the u bolt from the bike rack to the fabric of the bag.
I now make bikepacking bags commercially.
This is how my first frame bag turned out.
If you have any questions about this tutorial feel free to.
In making bags you can either go completely on your own or your can find some worn out bags and use them as the basis for your design.
You want something slightly different color pockets etc.
