INNER BAGS

[patrick]

This site is becoming the best I have been on.  Diverse, not (too) PC - everyone seems to know the line in sand, and busy - Not lost to FaceBook - Hurrah 

Yeah the IAM /Advanced Bike forum I WAS on has suffered a huge amount of abuse, nastiness, personal insults, back biting and little 'sub groups' forming. I have now left.

Would you believe it.... there are even examples of thread hijacking.

Back biting in an IAM group?  NEVER!!!!!

"Inner bags" This thread has been a curse on me. After what seemed like a lifetime of trying to glean an answer as to which size bag is suitable for a GTR pannier, and still not REALLY knowing, I went ahead and ordered TWO bags, (Thats Two ) from HG. Lo and behold at 10-30 today in the year of our lord 2012, a parcel arrived at work from HG with my moniker emblazened on the front . What a gud do thinks me, (we all love little bikey type parcels dont we?). So off comes the packaging to reveal an inner bag (Thats one) EH thinks me ONE I paid for TWO what the ffffffffffff is going on So a phone call to HG revealed a young man falling over himself to apologize, and offer a picking error as the cause for my missing bag, and a promise that  one will be winging its way to DL8 5HN as soon as possible.  Tune in tomorrow folks for the next episode of       "Inner bags"          Brought to you by dales promotions            Lamin I'm NEVER going to forgive you for starting this

Final info regarding size ----- the bigger bag is a little too big for the panniers- it'll squash in , but not the best fit. I dont have a topbox but I'd assume that it would fit a box pretty well.
The smaller bags are a little too small for the panniers - but for the price they're hard to beat for the usual shopping stuff ( you know- bread,milk etc  and a for a couple of nights B&B you'd get a weekends stuff in them easily !  -  seem very well made and durable  -- ideal really unless you fancy spending £70 or so for a slightly better fit and a gtr logo !!!

I rang HG at Bradford yesterday and they confirmed they had both sizes in stock...got my coat and boots on and then thought sod it, just cant be bothered going out!

I've got the original, GTR bags which came free & gratis with the bike so I'll stick with them. From the above posts they sound to be the better fit in any case.

You know that once you have a bag in there another one won't fit, right?
So why buy new bags if you've already got some better ones?
Reminds me of the guy on TV who keeps buying pickled eggs even though he doesn't like them just because they're on offer .

NOW LOOK HEAR CHAPS, after a thousand hits and nearly a year at the top, its time to stop. It was only a pair of inner bags for fecks sake! Actually, do you think some sort of prize is in order ' Most views on uninspiring Topic of the Year award' Perhaps 100milesaway could offer something to insert into my collection of bikey things? xx

hahaha - i disagree I thinks its an excellent topic!!! In fact...... i cant wait till my 'first meet' with other gtr owners where can while away the small hours debating the pros and cons of the small inner bags... or was it the large inner bags.....? oh the hell with it, lets talk about both!!!!!

My small inner bags turned up yesterday. Very pleased with them for 8 squids.

Ditto, must agree they are very good value, my  second one arrived today after a bit of a glitch at HG and as you say for 8 sqid they are a bargain. Tried them in the pannier and they seem to be a decent fit. So the long saga for me has reached a conclusion.  I Depart to my bed a happy man.

100milesaway, did you buy the large ones or the small ones ?

[O.C.]

O.M.G....don't get him upset again

I just ordered a set of the large ones.  It was the large ones wasn't it?

No, the medium sized ones are the ones that fit perfectly! 
There is no medium size?  Tough luck!

OK 100milesaway, I ordered two bags and got only one as well, so its not just you that has all the bad luck......... What number did you call you call HG on please?
