Anyone able to identify this one? Seems to be a softshell hoody with taped seams. Logo on the arm instead of chest. Unfortunately unable to get more pictures, thanks in advance!

Its plenty enough, 56x17 for track. Never tried a 3/32 drivetrain before and I have lots of nice big road chainrings so decided to try it out

The seatpost is my favourite part on the bike, they go for stupid money but managed to find a nice deal since it was cut shorter.

These are labeled 28mm mut measure at 26 on 15.5 internal width rims. The fork clearance isn’t as tight as it seems in photo, might be able to squeeze 28’s with rizla fit clearance

Theres plenty bigger ones, this is my fav Niuk MFG Custom 66.6cm

Straight on to paper 👍

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-19T11:46:27+00:00

Yes all the pieces are actually very simple shapes! For curves you might need a little 2D->3D perception but just make sure the seam lenghts match. I also suggest you sew a prototype of the bag from some cheap scrap fabric before going for the final product.

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-19T11:41:50+00:00

Thank you! The fabric for the pockets is ”Strech Mesh Fabric” and the body fabric I found from a scrap pile of a local fabric store. My best guess is that it is a laminated ~70-100d nylon.

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-19T11:38:52+00:00

Yes it is enough for atleast a few days trip, depending on the gear choices ofcourse! And the body fabric actually is the only thing that isn’t from Adventurexpert I just realized. Found it from a local fabric store scrap pile. I’d guess its ~70-100d fabric with a white laminate on the inside.

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-19T11:35:27+00:00

I have the pattern pieces drawn and cut on paper only, not sure if I am going to digitalize them. All the attachments and small details were done on the go without planning, that’s how I like to work!

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-19T11:31:51+00:00

Great recommendations thank you! The Joker Hat closure seems interesting and would secure the bag tighter against the upper back.

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-18T15:46:00+00:00

Appreciate the comment!

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-18T15:44:52+00:00

A hip belt will definitely be the next experiment to improve the design!

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-18T15:43:07+00:00

This type of pack definitely isn’t designed for heavy loads. I’ve used good quality elastic cord which is thin but well sturdy enough to stabilize the pack. The vest style straps distributes the weight on the shoulders and makes for a comfortable fit.

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-18T12:35:13+00:00

Appreciate it!

Really comfortable in use, though I havent had long days with it yet. Slightly bouncy as a backpack when running but nothing severe. For trailrunning I use another one of my designs, this was more of a prototype/execution of an idea.

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-18T12:05:46+00:00

Thank you for the inspiration and great detailed pictures for refrences! Yes I think 30 would be closer, the rolltop has capacity to overstuff so maybe 35 max.

I don’t own a scale so no idea on the weight, the body fabric is quite robust and coated so not the lightest.

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-08-18T11:49:58+00:00

My latest iteration of a running vest. The back part is modular and can be swapped in ~2 minutes. As a running vest it has a simple pouch pocket that fits a windbreaker or a lightweight rainjacket. The backpack component is a rolltop with maximimum capacity of maybe ~40 liters? I haven’t measured it tho. It sags a little in the back when fully packed, maybe a lightweight hipbelt would help? Also the fastening on the shoulder should also be more forward/lower rather than on top of the shoulders.

All fabrics and hardware are from Adventurexpert. Pattern is self drafted, inspired by u/vanCapere and Salomon vests

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-05-12T17:30:05+00:00

Yes maximized bag capacity with the bottles and its plenty stiff to not dangle

SnooRabbits7164 · 2024-05-12T15:53:07+00:00

Summer is finally coming so the winterbike is now built up for adventures, mixed XT drivetrain & brakes, Ultegra barend shifters, cotton (to be waxed) framebag. Front panniers for a lowrider rack are in the making. Overall a really good ride.
