After one of the front clips on my Baglux harness broke I dug out my old shabby rucksack. Both shoulder straps are knackered. One is tied in a knot, the other is bolted, yes bolted, on at one end.....it needs replacing.

Rather than forking out for a new tank harness, while I wait to find out if mine can be repaired, I thought I'd invest in a decent rucksack for commuting on the bike.

All I need to carry in it are a pair of work shoes, a folded pair of work trousers and a folded work shirt which I don't wish to get too creased.

What do you recommend?

I was going to fork out £90 for a kreiga but picked up a knox rucksack for £35
which looks well made with

-straps and clips in all the right places

-a bungy system to save you carrying your lid around when off the bike and extra fold out straps to secure something like a bed mat to

-padding for your back

-helmet bag
-spare visor bag
-laptop bag

i have a kreiga racksack and love it.
and no we don't sell them.

Kreiga R35

Take shoes, trous and shirt easy peasey, also big enough for a weekend jaunt. When not full the compression straps keep it all neat and tidy, and the harness design is very secure and comfortable.

I've had mine for a year and it is 'as-new' - extremely well made, using durable materials.

+1 for Kriega. They are pricey but you'll never need another one. Also you wont lose 3 work shirts and a laptop out of it like, er, a friend of mine did from his old one

O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
To break earth's sleep at all

Finding a retirement home for your father is very much like making love to a beautiful women. It's all about getting your old man lodged - Swiss Toni

I'm with everyone else. Go for the Kriega, they are expensive but you'll get your moneys worth out of it. I use the Kriega tail packs and they are great pieces of kit

+2 - I've got one o' them too and they're mustard.

Ask Muzzy about QD straps - very effective apparently.

What about a tail pack?

They are cheaper and a bit safer if you fall off.

I'd reccomend a tailpack over a rucksack too

after years ragging around with a rucksack then using a (oxford) tailpack

you get less aches / tiredness with the tailpack

...just for heavens sake, make sure it's fastened properly otherwise you'll be practicing a high speed rear wheel skid (and pant-filled skid too)

IIRC it was an Oxford tailpack that caused a fatal crash when it jammed in a rear wheel . . .

I have an Oxford tailpack but I only use it when I'm on a long one.
It's too much hassle to strap it on and off.

I think a rucksack would be all round more useful.

I like the look of the R20 Kriega....not too big.....but expensive.

go to slocombes and say that john from rex judds clothing sent you over,i have the R25.
