My Revelate bag doesn't suffer from flop so has never needed this accessory. Just as well really, I'd have to buy one for 4 or 5 bikes :-)

Now that I do like! Could probably do that, I’ll need to take the bag off for CX reasons but it only takes a minute to swap a spacer so.....

The Alpkit isn’t actually flopping (so far), just not overly confident. Will need to give it a proper test

Are DeWidgets fairly similar in availability to rocking horse poo? I see Bikepacking Scotland has them listed but no stock. However I could get the Rockgeist equivalent fairly easily

Cost saving does seem like the only reason for the change. They now talking about trimming the velcro at the front to suit, but it's not like you can ever add material again
I asked Alpkit to custom build me one of their top tube bags for me to fit Jon's Widget (oh er missus :wink: )
Took an extra week to get to me rather than a stock one but it's brilliant.

And another vote for Lomo who are based in Glasgow.
I don't have any of their bike packing gear but if it's as good as the stuff I use from them for my pack rafting you won't go far wrong for the price.
