Winner!

Super light, small, doesn't need a pot holder, can be made out of garbage minus the welders felt and
is an uncomplicated design which equals less problems.
Also works in cold temperatures.

You can have threaded inserts riveted into your frame.

You may be able to find or make small bolt up U clamps that will wrap around your seat stays which you can attach the rack to.

After messing around with a number of pop can alcohol stoves this is a winner for me.

Mainly because it works in cooler temperatures with no issue. Bonus is that it doesn't turn my pot into a filthy black mess and I lost some fiddley bits
as the pot holder is integrated into the stove.

FYI, the tomato paste can on the inside, aka the pot holder, can be adjusted to work with different shaped pot bottoms by cutting it longer or shorter.
I use mine with a Stanley adventure series cook set and had to raise the can up to hit the bottom properly. The lower cut version as seen in the video works well with wider flat bottom pots.

I am drawn back to this thing over and over. Has anyone purchased and used this rack?
Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated.

This should do.  http://www.farawayvisions.com/diy-dry-bag/


I just have to stitch down tube straps across it. maybe an old piece of inner tube where the down tube touches the bag.  if I can sew through it:)

Interested in the results of your experiment.

Below the downtube.

I'm thinking this. http://www.dirtbags.bike/product/four-deep-down-tube-bag/

Something like this would be perfect.

Hello D.I.Yr's

I would like to work out and make a Down tube bag of some sort and need some inspiration.
Anyone successfully accomplish this task?

Any and all pictures or comments welcome.
Thanks.

I was thinking of making some bar mitts and was wondering if anyone has successfully pulled this off?
I'm looking for some inspiration from you all.
Post your bar mitts

I doubt you can crush them. Just tighten enough and not too much

Ottawa Valley bike packing collective

There is an Ottawa Bikepacking group on FB that may have what you are looking for.

Here is yet another bag.

This one took some planning as leg rub is more of an issue with road bikes.
This one is more of a commuting bag. It fits a change of clothes, phone, wallet, car keys and a few other things.
Room for a small sized water bottle below when fully packed.

Red liner inside to match the bike

Width of bag please. Any leg rub standing pedaling up hills?

hey Alan333, wondering how this worked out. I am currently in the planning stage of making a commuter frame bag for my carbon road bike.
I noticed from my first mock up that at 2" width fully stuffed I have a bit of leg rub at a portion closer to the seat post. I suspect my 2 3/4" front end may
cause issues when standing up pedaling up a hill but is fine when sitting. Road bikes are very different than my mountain bikes.
