large handlebar bag?

Post by bikerwaser »

my old Hi gear handlebar bag is on it´s way out after several repairs.
i can´t find another one and can´t find anything as big.
wondered if anyone knows where i can find a really large handlebar bag?
i use a handlebar bag not only for touring but also for shopping as i can put a loaf of bread in mine without it getting squashed by all the other stuff.
no other handlebar bag seems to be able to hold a loaf of bread. seems a strange thing to ask . maybe i should just buy rolls from now on or half loaves.

please help !

I would have a look on the Rixen & Kaul website http://www.klickfix.com/ for ideas, also do a search for "handlebar bag" in google images, also maybe a quick scan of ebay?

If you are near a Decathlon this one is worth a look. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/3l-handlebar ... 28996.html

Not really large though, is it. My Ortlieb is 8 litres and wouldn't fit a loaf.

I know everyone out there was losing sleep over my large handlebar bag search so i thought id' let you all know that i've finally found one.

light , cheap , does the job and LARGE enough for what i need. (not sure about the silly bottle holder but i'll probably chop that off .

I know how you feel. I've got a team of forum members poring over websites and back catalogues looking for a rack pack that's big enough to hold size 11 boots. But to no avail. Your success has given me fresh hope!
