Show me your Kanga set ups with Jones bars

Post by wfbroddy »

Folks,

Just got a Kanga thingy for the ECR, and did a test fit, but the thing slides along the length of the (outer/ extra ?) bar, whats a neat solution to stop it doing this. I thought about adding extra straps to go round join in the bar keeping the Kanga stable, but I sometimes use this space as an extra hand hold.

So what do you all do....?

cheers Roddy

I run a set of Jones loops and I have never bothered with a bar harness.
I use an alpkit dry bag and pass the straps over the rear part of the bar and through the bags loops and then over the front of the bar. I pull the straps tight and it sits close under the bars. It doesn't wiggle or move and it still allows me to use all parts of the bars.
Here it is on my old bike

Thats the way I ran the front setup before, but I was never happy with it, hence trying the harness.

only just done this setup myself Roddy, I have 6 Velcro loops tightly wound around the outer bar and mine seems solid on the garden bounce test, I will know 'real world' for sure later :wink:
