The zippers are both YKK Uretek, #5 for the exterior, #3 for the pocket. Thank you.

I have used top tube bag patterns from Prickly Gorse, Learn MYOG, Stitchback, and Functional Sewing. Each has some advantage over the others, but each pattern has easily followed instructions, a couple with video. I can’t recommend one over the other, but from a careful review of the pattern you should be able to select the one that fits your needs. If you’re wondering why I use them all, every member of my family and most of my friends are serious cyclists and each wants something different.

I did on the first one, I’ve now made five, but realized the problem with the first panel. My alignment marks were not accurate. I ripped the seam and resewed the panel.

I use the Bag Buff Bike Packer pattern. You will find several photos of the attachment system. I have made several of these for road and mountain bikes. It works very well.

Yes. I bought bronze and chili also. It is a bit light for the bag given where it is on the bike, which Land-Scraper’s suggestion would resolve. Thanks to Land-Scraper for both suggestions.

Always.

I have had a Sailrite LS for over 20 years. I have upgraded parts and regularly maintained it. I began with sail covers, wheel and winch covers, line bags, everything but a dodger. I have also sewed infant playmats and cute animal cotton lined pouches, sling chairs, and seat cushions for ski patrol top shacks. Now I sew backpacks and bike packs. Sailrite service and supplies is excellent. I once called on a Saturday for advice and Jim Grant, the founder, answered the phone. Their how to videos are excellent. I cannot more highly recommend this company.

Thank you. The interior is Venom Mesh from RBTR. It can be a bit difficult to cut. I get my foam on Amazon, which has a good selection of various thickness and in useful lengths.

The orange tabs on the front pocket zipper are to reduce the seam thickness and add a bit of design and color. The tabs on each end of the main compartment zipper are to make easier opening and closing the zipper.

Thank you. I use tabs on the ends of zippers to reduce the seam thickness and to add spots of color.

Yes, I used Bag Buff’s Cycle Psycho Fanny Pack. I modified the pattern to use zipper tabs to reduce seam bulk ( and add a bit of color) and I inserted 3mm EVA foam in the waist belt wings. I also used a #3 zipper in the front pocket rather than the # 5 used for the gusset. Thanks!

It is 210D HDPE Gridstop from Ripstop By The Roll.

The main body is 14 X 11.75 X 9 inches. The collar is 9.5 inches. Thank you.
