looking at a small < 8L tail bag, (hate backpacks, and take my hard panniers off for commuting as makes filtering easier) to take lock, nexus and other sundries that make your jacket feel like a bag of spanners.

anyone use either of

I'm a Kriega whore, but in all honesty I love my US10.

The US20 is too big for my 125 as a tank bag but fine for a tail pack.

My US10 is now about 4 years old, used daily in all weathers/seasons and still looks in good condition.

Having two water proof layers and the roll bag design means that my phone and tablet PC are always dry even in torrential rain.

ok after faffing about with a ruler to get an idea of size on the bike, and a bit more research (looking at photos (of the bag, tsk. Rolling Eyes

)) I've ordered the kriega 10, will report back.

I've used an unbranded copy of the autokicker [or they may well of copied that Laughing

] that I got on ebay years ago.

Can get a big Almax in it [thats pretty crammed full], if you've got a more moderate sized chain you should be able to get that in along with a few other bits, i'd definately go for that if its all you need it for.

Kriega stuff is very good, but very expensive - unless you want to get a few Kriega bags and attach them altogether for touring I wouldn't want to bother spending the extra money personally.

Well the Kriega 10 arrived today.

Can't fault the quality, and actually just the right size, so Copycat73 you were right the others would have been too small.

thoroughly recommended if you can afford.

Cheers sabian92 for mentioning it Thumbs Up
