Customer Review

Update July 2015:

After I had considered the case in June 2013 with 4 stars, I have now unfortunately written down to 2 stars make.

I live just 30km from my place of work. Three times a week I take my bike in the train with my job and then go in the afternoon in order to go home. The remaining paths are returned only by train. By that I do not have to repack my daily work utensils, I was looking for a bag that can be used both as a backpack, as well as a carrier bag.
These "primary requirements" are best filled with this bag.
A laptop (in extra pocket), a set of spare clothes, the necessary paperwork and the lunchbox find enough space.
The two side pockets and the front small compartment provide additional storage space for all kinds of odds and ends and the wearing comfort as backpack also leaves nothing to be desired.

But after I got the bag two years in use I come to the conclusion that it has in your role and in your processing too many quirks, but that this rather high price would be justified.

- The bag is festgeklipst top two places on the luggage rack. Depending on how severe the case, this proves to be quite difficult (my almost 20 year old Ortlieb bags lock by means of its own weight, this holds the same, but is much easier on the hand)
- Below the pocket is secured with a hook, which in turn is attached to a rubber belt. This hook does not calibrate the sides. On my old wheel (Vermont Kinara 2010) I was able to fix these hooks only to the holder of the mudguard. This of course was not particularly stable. On my new bike (Raleigh Rush Hour 7.0) allows the hook Hook with much fumbling the frame. Because the bag is fastened down with a hook, the whole thing on two wheels is laterally very unstable, so that the pocket constantly back and herschlackert
- My 2013 concerns already expressed regarding the durability of the rear wall (with abutting the pocket bike) have unfortunately been confirmed, after about 1 1/2 years it was worn..
- To make the case to a backpack, you have to open a zipper, the right, up and left "wraps around" the bag. Then you roll to the back wall, on which is the hook for the bike mount and stowed in a timber at the bottom of the bag. As this specialized projects into the actual bag, the conversion sometimes designed to be difficult when the bicycle bag is already full (lack of space).

Conclusion:
The fundamentally good concept of bag subject to the lack of flexibility (with regard to the mounting option on the bicycle) and durability.

Since I can attach the bag on my new bike only with a lot of effort (hooks), I will now have to look for another transportation option.
