Jones loophole bags

Post by chambo82 »

Hi all , seeing as though I'm keeping the Jones Carbon loophole bars I'm looking to get a bag to fit in the loop part , looking like there are 3 options in Beerbabe £45 , Revelate £120 or Wildcat £55ish , has anyone used either of these and if so which are recommended ?
Cheers guys and girls

No issues with the Wildcat one. Cant comment on the others as I have no experience of them.

+1 for the wildcat bag and half the price of the revelate one. That said its about half as deep but this works for me carrying phone, cash and other odds and ends.

I use the wildcat one

The upside is that you have a useful little pouch to put things

The downside is you can't hold that bit of the bars very easily

I've wondered about that.

The wee hollow that's formed by the loop and my bar bag is also where I tend to just stuff in my waterproof jacket :grin:

I should really make a couple of mini bungees to go across the top of the loops too.

Handy enough for my wallet, spare batteries and meds.

Wildcat here. Takes pump, tube, tool, levers, phone, and emergency jacket. Pretty much lives on my SS.

Wildcat here on the Jones bars on my fat bike. Useful for small stuff you might need to hand. The only thing missing (IMO) is a clip for keys.
