  First proper ride on the Bootzipper today. Super fun! Nothing too extreme, just some easy trails round Esher and Oxshott. I did manage to (half) stack it once... on a road. Hurdled out of it though and my right brake lever took most of the impact. Good thing this is a bike I'm not going to be too precious about...

  Haha carbon would be funny. HHS fork bags. Think I'm leaning towards something to go on an anything cage for more versatility if I want to carry extra big bottles and stuff.

  Noted! Will have a go at one and post it on here.

  The other thing I'm thinking of is making some fork bags, either to attach directly with some sort of stiff back panel or with anything cages. Does anyone use this sort of bag? Thinking something like the Outer Shell Pico Panniers or these Helmut ones I have seen.

  Thanks!

  Yeah I managed to get it nice and far back on the cotic using tubus clamps, but I found it didn't work that well with the skinny fork and I got some judder. Might try to put it on the Bootzipper but would need to drill the fork crown or bodge somehow. Then sew a basket bag of course.
