  • Just a little video of a bag support I made, I’m not a professional at all but these are the steps to make a bag support!
    Rod is about 1.2m of 304 stainless steel, 6mm, although 8mm can be used easily enough too. Steel was found locally, should be able to find it at your local metal supply.
    Clamps were 6mm, found at Bunnings, NZ: www.bunnings.co.nz/zenith-wir...
    Although I prefer the 5mm ones, as explained in the video!

    I used to bend a lot of stainless tubing… and I must say you did an amazing job. Especially considering you bent solid rod without a bender. Excellent work!

    Bending shapes like that can be a nightmare, great job 👍

    Great creation. Subscribed to the project, as I dig tinkering.

    Good shedsperiment. Slow mo bag wobble was my favourite bit. Looks classy with the look of the bike. Will be genuinely interested to know if the attachments hold up as might give it a go. Keep the vids coming

    Wow i love it. Thats nice

    Drill a hole through the tube, hold tube vertically in vice, place bar through hole, wrap bar around tube, it works well that way

    • @toastyrides

      Good tip, thank you! Don’t know if it would work through tight corners close to each other as it would have to feed through the tube? Might not be thinking about it right, though.

    Nice job , I'm just doing something similar ; I"m thinking of fixing steadying bars from the bag rack to the seat drop outs .

    Hot tip use a rubber mallet close to the vice for a clean round bend

    FIIIRRSTTTT!! Jks great vid ! Turned out great! Love the idea of bending it around a pipe to get the smooth bends. Also love the stainless look, will avoid rust too. Cheers!

    Jumping on this one late, but a great vid, thanks. You could use some support struts to increase the weight limit/make carrying more weight less of an issue. I use a Carradice support for my Carradice long flap and found the 'bagman support struts' make carrying heavier loads much less of a concern.

    Ha, you ordered it in from Blue Lug in all the way in Japan? Thats my Tokyo LBS!

  • @brendonoid6133
    @brendonoid6133 Před 2 lety

    This is a really interesting experiment. I understand that the Cr-mo mounts that Nitto/Carradice use are annealed after forming so that they don't deform again during use. This seems to be strong enough without that process and I wonder why that is. I look forward to a more long term review, but this looks really good!

    • @janeblogs324
      @janeblogs324 Před 2 lety

      The annealing makes them softer actually, less brittle to prevent fatigue cracking over time

  • @YoSpiff
    @YoSpiff Před 2 lety +2

    Very similar to the Carradice supports, which cost almost as much as one of their bags. Great job. I was particularly interested in the common hardware you used to attach it to the seat rails. Perhaps 2 of them on each rail might be a more solid connection?

  • @janeblogs324
    @janeblogs324 Před 2 lety

    Could you use an old seat post clamp to attach it? Maybe file the rail grooves oval etc.
    It would let you quick release it with a 6mm

  • @janeblogs324
    @janeblogs324 Před 2 lety

    I glad the last 15 seconds were included as some of your other videos never showed the end result with the hole bike in frame even though the thumbnail did (clickbait)
    But your next video and sub button covered half the screen at the end lol

  • @jesusescudero9721
    @jesusescudero9721 Před 2 lety

    That trek frame in the back is so cool, Do you going to make something with it? :)

  • @Wannaridebikes
    @Wannaridebikes Před 2 lety

    Nice build but to add support use the two bolt things on the back and make two more post to it.

  • @mountaincruiser817
    @mountaincruiser817 Před 2 lety

    I wondered about these supports. Don't they slowly bend towards your seatpost , even when loading not so much? Specially on rougher roads.

    haha, where did you get that green bag? In case you don't know it's and old Czechoslovak People's Army military bag usually called the "malá polní" (pretty common in central Europe and costs about 10 USD or even less :) It was unanimously hated throughout several generations of conscript soldiers for its bad straps and sloppy design.

    Hi there, Is there a reason you dont attach your bag onto the brooks saddle bag loops? I havent been able to find any documents talking about there weight limit but ive strapped a bunch of random stuff to mine. Just wondering if you know something i dont?

    • @slowerandolder
      @slowerandolder Před rokem

      The bag SHOULD attach to the saddle's bag loops...these Carradice-style bag supports are meant to stop the bag bottom rubbing on the tire if you don't run a rear rack or stout fender. But his bag isn't a "bike bag" & so doesn't have the straps and buckles up top. They could be easily added: a wooden dowel runs the length of the bag under the hinge side of the top flap; straps of some adjustable kind go thru slots in the bag material, around the dowel, back out the same slot and thru the saddle loops. Buckles inside the bag, please - so cinching up the buckles pulls the dowel (and bag) snug against the saddle. This has been cycling practice for 100 years; I'd guess he'll tumble to it someday, and make another video. Cheers!

  • @RichsRidesandRestorations

    Really cool project! I’d be tempted to try making one too but because I’m so short the seatpost wouldn’t be long enough and it’d just rest on the rear wheel - will have to stick to normal racks lol
    What equipment or software do you use to produce your videos?
