Just had to get these filled up with stuff and haul myself up the nearest hill to try them out. It’s an Epic Designs frame bag and fuel tank – for fig rolls not petrol silly. They were actually ordered to fit my Karate Monkey but they happily fit the 1×1 (x8) just fine too. Once I’d adjusted my swinging baggy pants with the velcro straps there was absolutely no rubbage when pedalling. Got all my usual ride stuff in plus a JetBoil, insulated cup, spare gas (why?) and some soup – yum.
Loads of room to spare. I could tell because of all the rattling on the way back down the hill. None of it inteferes with any of the handling – it’s all low slung and incredibly stable. Fantastically bivy-tastic.
