Banjo Brothers Skunk Works
February 9th, 2006 |
While I was in Mobile last week I tested out a prototype seat bag from Banjo Brothers. It’s got no seatpost strap. Instead it has two saddle rail velcro straps as opposed to the normal one.
I had asked that they consider manufacturing a bag without the seatpost strap as, due to my big fat thighs and my particular riding style, my inner leg rubs against my seatpost while I pedal. My leg came into contact with the seatpost strap and it caused a bit of wear to occur on my cycling shorts.
My concern was that, without the seatpost strap, the saddle bag might not be as secure on the bike as I would like. But this thing was rock solid and caused me no problems what-so-ever. Banjo Brothers comes through again.
I’ll make a couple of other recommendations if they are interested in fine tuning this bag. I don’t know if they will actually manufacture another version but it’s nice that they are interested in my input.
Here is my original review of the seat bag. Now go get one.
