Review on Banjo Brothers Top Tube Bag: ๐Ÿšด Convenient and Stylish Storage Solution for Cycling Enthusiasts by Jorge Kumar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent top tube bag

My rides were getting longer and so I needed a little more space to hide gear, phone, food etc. With an underseat bag full of tire levers, a multi-tool, spare tubes, CO2 cartridges, etc., there was simply no storage space. I searched Revain and found this little bag that seemed to fit my needs. I was hoping for something that would fit in my iPhone, some loose change and a few packs of gel. It seemed the right size and price. The design isn't necessarily the best in the line, but hey, it doesn't break the bank either. I had some trouble getting the straps through the tiny slots on the plastic buckles, but once through they held tight. The straps on the front were fun to dress up. This means it took me a few tries to figure out how tight they fit and how to keep them from getting tangled up in my headset. On my first bike ride with this bag, I noticed that it kept tilting to the right. Which at times resulted in me tapping my knee on it more than once. After bringing my bike home and playing with it some more, I found that I actually had to tighten the bottom straps quite a bit to prevent snagging. I knew enough from other reviews not to overdo the tension for fear of ripping the strap off, but I found happy media where it worked for me. Since then I haven't had a single problem other than knowing I'm carrying more gear. It seems to be a separate issue. Overall this is a decent little bag for the price and if you manage it well and secure it well it should give you a handy spot to stash more gear.
