The FenderBag (FB) is a novelty and many don't know what to think of these very useful

Large FenderBag on Small 29nr Hardtail

mountain bike accessories. Do they work? Will they fit on my bike? Well, they don't fit on all bikes but they do fit on many. Due to the simplicity of their attachment system, they are malleable and therefore fit on a variety of bike frames. As seen in this image of a large FenderBag fitted onto a small frame size 29nr hardtail. This large FenderBag's lower strap has been adjusted to fit around the seat tube connection lug of the two triangles. This brings the FB down lower and allows for plenty of space for the FenderBag on the seat post. As you can see, there is plenty of room to access the FB, and It doesn't interfere with the saddle. The fender is an adequate distance from the tire as well. This position makes the FenderBag very stable and rides nicely. 

This is exciting news for the small frame size hardtail mountain bike rider. If you are looking for additional cargo space on your small frame, the large FenderBag will fit. Have you tried riding with less weight on your back? Well, now you have options. Purchase FBs here.

Dale Conlin purchased a FenderBag last spring as he saw that the large FenderBag would fit nicely on his folding paratrooper bicycle. He especially liked how it would make use of space on his bike otherwise not utilized. Dale lives in New York and he has not been wasting any time while on lockdown due to COVID 19. Although unable to go bike touring, he has been using this time to get ready. For Dale, that meant creating a custom jumbo-sized FenderBag. 

He recently reached out to me with photos of his homemade FenderBag. His custom jumbo FenderBag design was inspired by the original FenderBag he purchased. Being so impressed by the design concept and the ability to use precious available space on his bike, he was inspired to maximize this utilization and go big, and I love it!

It’s great to see our enthusiasm play out, even if it’s a one-off custom style. Dale’s jumbo-sized FenderBag includes rear struts for extra strength, which will certainly add to this FB. This custom design has enabled him to
also use a jumbo saddlebag. This combination provides Dale with more than ample room for all his gear. All the while maintaining an aerodynamic, sleek assembly that incorporates fender protection and low center of gravity position for his gear. I love to see this kind of enthusiasm with the FenderBag design concept. Mostly, I’m impressed that creating a custom-designed FenderBag is Dale’s first choice of activities during the lockdown. Thanks for sharing Dale, and best of luck once you escape lockdown and are able to hit the touring trail!
