After using a Revelate seat bag I decided to go all out and get the whole setup.  I now have a Medium Tangle Bag which fits my bike like a glove.  I also have a Gas Tank, however the two dont seem to want to play nice with each other while on my bike.  The velcroe system on the Tangle Bag does not allow the proper spacing for the velcroe on the Gas Tank- they overlap each other.  The only way for the Gas Tank to work is placing it further away from the handle bar stem- more rearward, and there is just barely enough strap to hold it in place and it does not seem very secure.

Anyone else have this issue and come up with a remedy?

Thanks.  Looking forward to hitting the trails this week.

While I don't have Relevate bags I think its fairly common..at least with me.All I do is cut the straps that aren't playing nice in half so that they are skinny , meaning if they are 2"wide velcro straps I trim them to be 1"or whatever width lets everything fit.hope this helps  Cool

I have both bags.  The straps do overlap.  My solution was to cut part of the Velcro on the Tangle bag where they overlap.  The top piece of Velcro is fairly long and my change hasn't had any impact of the stability of the bag.

I was able to make it work by forcing the tangle bag further forward.  Its a bit crunched now at the front end but still fully functional.

Might take a look at cutting the velcro also if it becomes a problem.
