Suggest a framepack for this?

Post by redefined_cycles »

Image
Trying not to do any drillium in this beauty. As you can see I've already managed to use an adaptor and pull the downtube bottle down a little. No point using an adaptor for the seattube as I'd only bring it down a few mm without it getting too much into the frame triangle and clashing with the downtube bottle.

So ideally a framebag that's long and thin. I don't plan to use a sideloacing bottle cage as I'm happy with how it is otherwise :o Sorry for asking ans suggestions most appreciated. I need the bag at the very latest within the next week or by 24th at least. Ride is on 26th for when I really could do with it :smile:

NB. The downtube bottle will pribably be a bit longer aswell as these bottles are now leaking (well, the blue one leaks really bad at the piss bottle) so ready for the bin. It'll be some blue sized bottles that'll go on both the downtube and seattube...

I'd.guess something shaped like an Alpkit possum or Restrap. Look up the dimensions, make some cardboard templates and offer them up for size?

Would there not be more (useable}space if the downtube bottle was moved up and the seattube bottle moved down (especially if the latter is to be larger)?

Sorry Colin... I meant both bottles are gonna be 750ml (so smae size as the blue bottle in pic).

Problem with using the Passport (or similar) adaptor on the seattube for moving that bottle down, is that it can't come down very far. The bandon for the front mech gets in the way.. :sad:

Probably happy to go custom as it's the bike I've been lusting after as my commuter for a while. Maybe budget of around £90 sound reasonable and don't need too much lugging space :smile:

Found this beauty. Only five quid above budget and wonder if it comes with free shipping...

Hope it fits - will check later :smile:

Might be worth a look at restrap to fill that space

I have a small one for my tools etc and a custom one which fits my chameleon.

Very good.

Hard to look past a Revelate tangle half frame bag, more space than you’d think and bombproof.
We’re all individuals, except me.

I woke up this morning but I’m still in the dark

Thanks Dave. Looks like the racepack might just work for me (4L storage).

That's the template I just cobbled together. Seems I might need to move the downtube bottle down even further but the passport doesn't go down far enough....

Might need this or a cheaper alternative: https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/col ... ory-device

Bikepacking.com is stating that the Passport I have shoves (ok, 'offsets') the cage by 35mm so all I need is a 'mover' that offsets it by about 45mm or 50mm...

Thanks folks. Steve, the Revelate won't work due to the shape and my need to have the bottle cages in similar place (but big bottles).
