    I use the us30 as a tank bag. My travel pillow!

    And I've used the us40 Combo as a tail pack. 4 clicks on each. Almax IV and Squire lock in the us20. Smashing!

    Plus if I'm staying in the same place for a couple of nights I can sling the us30 behind as a tail pack instead if I'm out for the day. As has been said - adaptable.



    Jimbo, didn't your mate's Ventura spill its guts on the motorway in France?

    lt goes virtually everywhere with me, Sine. I wanted the lll but they were out of stock. The lV saves on gym membership. A workout every time!

    What size did ya buy?

    I bought a 2m IV but TBH it's too long for Garage use and it's too heavy (IMHO) to be lugged about on tour.

    Will be buying a III soon but am debating the length?

    I've got the 1.5m, Sine. It's a good length. If I were buying a lll I might be tempted by 2m.

    I spose to be fair to you if you use ya bike to commute then you need all the security you can get in London by recent complaints of un-checked theft in the 'Smokes' all day car parks.

    I too would then make the effort to carry about an Almax IV! :eek:

    I found my Ventura Euro tailpack and Baglux tank bag superb last week. Both come off in about 10 seconds each and same time to re-attach the next morning. I did the 1500 mile 5 day Ride Magazine Scotland. It was a great route and superb scenery on the north coast to Durness and to the west. Down hill 25% gradients on wet and gravel-strewn single-track road sections were a bit scary though....

    I went for Kriega
    Been to France and Ireland this year and seen some rain and no problems whatsoever
    I have a US20 and a US10 and they are fine for 5-6 days away
    If longer then maybe US30 and US20 with a US10 as a tank bag.
    Plus no unsightly luggage rack on the rear
    Kriega all the way for me

    Bruce - your a T W A T! Lol

    Going round the world and forgets to put fuel in the bike - wtf!? Lol

    Ps that's me in the first pic (waterproofs are too big ;) ) and you can just see Dave v's red hat lol
