In a pinch, you can probably use 700cc inner tubes, instead of the bungee cord (I use old tubes for strapping stuff down). Old spokes also make for fairly sturdy hooks (double it up), but I'd only use them on the bottom, instead of the picture fram hook, and stick with your solution up top.
Genius stuff. I mean you can make puzzle game out of it, especially when you need to reporpose door hinges and other random unexpected stuff you have no idea even exist
Good job - thanks for sharing 👍 It would be a good idea to put PVC tape on the metal hooks etc. so as to prevent the metal scratching your bicycle or anything / anyone else. This is definitely a great way to repurpose an old satchel or laptop bag that you don´t use much. And the result, although not waterproof, will probably be having a much better looking, less expensive and more practical bag. For waterproofing - just keep a bin liner inside your bag, and put your items inside that if it is wet / raining that day. Or apply a waterproof spray to the finished product. cheers! JB
I will send this to Henry; because our bags leak badly. I like your mudflaps. Thankyou for sharing this: back roller classics , which I was told are a spinoff of kayak bags; are $200.
Hi, what an awesome idea, thanks for making the video! I'm wondering what the sizes are of the screws, nuts, washers, and shelf brackets you used in the video. I assume they're a consistent diameter. Perhaps the materials list (plus the backpack straps) could be listed in the video description. Thanks!
The hardware that you put into it. The clips the bungee holds the plastic piece together on the bag. It's always a good idea to put some rubber cement on your washers on the inside and the outside. As you tighten it the rubber cement will make a better waterproof seal for extra security.
Yes I completely understand some of my videos are very bad quality. But more less I'm just trying to get my point across and help people build their own bags.
