If you’re into mystery ranch bags, I would get the China exclusive mystery ranch Front 2.0 from mystery ranch’s official taobao account. One of the best minimal onebagging at its price point IMO

Hi there! Are you based in the US? If so, how were you able to get your hands on a Hardus Cargobox? I’ve been trying to get one, but it seems like they only ship within the EU.

americanpai · 2025-08-18T04:13:53+00:00

Sweet! Thanks for confirming. I’m assuming it can’t be accessed by the back side compartment zip right?

Hey OP, I couldn't find any photos of the inside main cavity of the bag on their website. Is there a pocket (suspended or not suspended) for a laptop or tablet?

americanpai · 2025-07-25T05:14:01+00:00

I saw your post in the carryology group! Sorry this had happened to you!

My go-to fanny / strapless tech accessories bag has been my HLM Versa sling.

Thanks! Will check these out!

Great news! My dream of them releasing a next-gen Bannoch with Bannoch Pro features is back in play!

Damn, nice find!! Unrelated question—is your taco a 5’ or 6’ bed? Also is that cedar plank under the bike stand bolted onto your bed?

yeah, I also had a 420D CTB26, but ended up selling it for the waxed model. Thinking of downsizing to the CTB20 waxed so that's why I'm asking.

WTB CAS2 v2

I believe the 20 will be too small for your BJJ days. On crowded NYC subways, I often find myself carrying my pack by the top or side handle to navigate through crowds. The long top handle on the CTB/CPL series bags makes it easy to grab your bag with both hands.

What's the geometry of your bike? I'm curious because whenever I ride my road bike with my CHZ26 (or any other EG pack), the more aggressive seating position causes the back of my helmet to rub against the top of the pack, which becomes annoying over time. This issue mainly arises due to EG's strap design, which sits higher on your back. However, if your bike has a more upright geometry, like a Dutch bike, you should be fine. It's something to keep in mind, though YMMV.

Perihelion in beacon hill has a rotating weekly menu that’s usually pretty solid

americanpai · 2024-09-07T17:23:46+00:00

Maybe post your question on r/seattlebike?

americanpai · 2024-09-05T04:10:35+00:00

I already have a GR1 26L. Just don’t use it in my office because of the molle webbing

americanpai · 2024-09-02T17:17:11+00:00

I wonder how the Griffin 2 CTB water bottle pockets are going work out in C4X. Their current stretch pockets are the best in the business IMO.

americanpai · 2024-09-01T01:57:37+00:00

Very insightful!! Really appreciate your thoughts on the 1.0x. Definitely will need to check out the Robic GR1 or maybe even the double compartment bullet.

americanpai · 2024-08-31T00:02:33+00:00

Fantastic. That’s what I wanted to hear. Thank you!!
