New topic for my diy bags. First one is ready and several other's are on table or idea-level. I'll add all of those here within next few month's. First one (I ever made) is framebag for Surly Straggler. Size is made to accept 2,5 liter refill bladder from USWE hydropack. Material is Cordura, sand 330d and black 1000d.  |

Looks great. Perfect size. Minimal Extras = Clean.
And it doesn't hurt that the tan complements the Sparkle Pony quite nicely.

My next selfmade bags are on their way but this was something extra.
Bag is Lowepro Toploader Zoom 50. It's perfect fit to my short stem and rigid fork. With some extra padding Nikon D90 with zoom fit there nicely.
I know this isn't "real" bikepacking equipment but I presume there is also other rider's who would like to carry a decent camera on a daytrip.

Framebag for Surly Instigator is ready. This became quite nice considering it's my second self made bag. It takes spare tube, some tools and 2,5l USWE water bladder. Made routing for the hose also. That funny "tube" on the side is for Manfrotto monopod/selfiestick.  |

Let's continue with seatbag. Finally it's nearly finished, just need to make straps for seatpost.
Material is Cordura 1000D. I wanted to make a harness which would accept 10-13 liter drybag. In the picture there is fully loaded 10 liter bag.

^ What needs to be changed?
The bags look great. Any seat bag sway?

Straps and their positioning could be better. Easier to install but same time firmer attachment. Sway isn't bad at all when straps are well positioned. Only real problem was if drybag need to be opened during the day and wasn't compressed enough after that. Tightening of the harness just made bag "divide" and sway more. Maybe you get my point from the picture below? See how end of the bag is hanging. That could be corrected only by taking drybag away and compressing it again = quite a lot to do if needed many times during the day. Harness for drybag was ok, but I think for my daytrip-use traditional seatbag could be more usefull. I'll make one of those also. I think harness will work better on overnighter when I don't need to open bag during day. |

In my experience, saddle bags in particular, tend to need an adjustment about an hour after you start in the morning. After that, if you really tighten them down, they should be good for the rest of the day. Great looking bags, especially for the number of bags that you've made. Well done!

Let's make this topic alive again. Long time without post and all the pics have vanished also. There's been some progress and many new bags have seen sunlight. DIY/MYOG has turned to small "business". Well not business actually but hobby that has brought some extra money. Below few bags I have made during last year.
Finally I got some Xpax VX21 which has been a bit difficult to find or at least really expensive in Europe. Next bags will be for my Farley 9.8. Slightly color coded with grey and blue. Made out of combination of Xpac and Cordura 1000d.
