Which Rack Bag?

Post by Whippet »

Can someone recommend a good quality rack bag that can carry an upright water bottle please? The two bottles I carry on the bike are no longer enough since I upped my Sunday ride distance.

Cheaper than a new rack bag is a camelbak or one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Raleigh-Handleb ... 998&sr=8-1
There are also saddle mounted variations. Rackbags I'm not too sure about, but Carradice make the Carradura Maxi saddlebag which holds one bottle on the side id thats any use. Just got myself one, £17 ish. Some users have commented that the bottle holder is a bit unsecure and after seing it myself and trying it out, I'm not too comfortable about using it either. It is a really big bag though...7-8 litres.

Vaude do a rack bag with a pocket for a bottle at the rear of the bag.
