Review on ๐Ÿšฒ TOURBON Waxed Canvas Bike Top Tube Bag with Handlebar Basket by Vincent Burton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for cyclocross tubular tires. Amazing for the price! Fits snugly on Brooks Swallow

I found it. Finally the bag is big enough for a cyclocross tubular tire (28x33c, Specialized Tracer Tubular). As you can see from the picture there is plenty of room for everything else (multitool, pump/CO2, gel, small wallet). I ride a Brooks Swallow Ti and the leather straps are extra wide for a snug fit. rear saddle hooks. I like it because it reduces movement. It's scratchy on the skin, but to me it gives it "character". The best part is that since it's leather, you can tighten the buckles if you want to make your own holes. You have about 1/2 inch to work with a very tight fit. I have not done this as it is brand new but as it weathers I may need to do this to get it back up solid over time. The flap with button goes over the compartment and closes with a zipper. Nothing will ever fall out. Never, you have double protection. If the button ever fails, which will happen over time, you can always cut the valve off lol. Honestly when comparing these to the Brooks Millbrook Bag I couldn't ignore the price difference. Also, this bag is a bit smaller, which I like. I needed something big enough for my tubular tire but nothing more. This bag is absolutely perfect for my needs! would buy it again in a heartbeat. The only way to improve this at the moment might be with other canvas colours, but that's just being picky.
