Minimalist Backpack style bag?

[Technohic]

Was thinking about selling my bike but one thing I think I would love to keep my bike for is my favorite courses are at least 40-50 miles away from me, so I can save gas taking the bike over my truck to get out there. Problem is with what I am going to carry with me. If I find something I like, I will weigh my options.

I have side saddles but I would have to take my discs and put them in one side, and crunch down my crunch box to put in the other, then that doesn't leave much room for water, or not to mention if my fiance is going; otherwise I guess I could strap my bag down on the back seat. With that in mind, I don't want to go quads on my Crunch box since it is just that. Boxy.

I need something more conforming I can put on my back maybe hold 5 discs max to where it where my passenger could still be back there. Any thoughts?

I might just have to go to a sporting goods store and see what they have as far as regular backpack that are small. Maybe make myself something custom.

I would say you answered your own question

 

[Technohic]

Yeah. I didn't see anything out there and figured as much. I just wanted to see if maybe I was missing something somewhere.

I have seen someone use a very small climbing bag. It went on the small of your back and had a couple drink holders. Only held like 5 discs max.

Just do what I do. Bungee cord the hell out of your bag and hit the road...

Fred, I thought of that, but where would my fiance sit? Not on my discs! That's for sure.

EDIT: Nice ride BTW.

Do you have a back rest for you lady? If you do strap it to the back of that.

No, but that is another thought. It is a real possibility that I get the b**** bar and while I am at it, I could get a rack on the back.

On another note; fiance told me tonight that I am keeping the bike because it is paid for, and if I sell it, I will just be sitting there regretting it down the road and then buying another bike I then would have to pay on again. lol She knows me too well.

Well, after looking at backpacks and stuffing my discs in one saddlebag while stuffing the Crunch Box in the other and finding a place to stick water bottles in, I just decided I like my Fade Crunch and should just go ahead and get some quad straps. Something I refused to do in the past.

I went with the Phenix Quadshocks with the lock down feature wanting it to be as secure as can be while I ride. Doing a quick search, it sounds like they work well with the Crunch box. This way, I can load my saddle bags with bottled water in large ziploc bags with ice.

Gateway has a mini backpack that might fit your needs. Though it is 100 bucks and only comes in yellow.

Aww man! How did I not see that? The sling bag looks pretty cool. Oh well. I'm sure my quads will work. Maybe I will get one of those for my fiance when she comes with.

i might have heard a rumor that a bag company is toying with the idea of a smaller minimalist DG backpack bag.

Not to be a downer, but I don't think I'd want to be wearing them on my back if I were in a crash. Yeah, it's easy to become jelly any way about it, but that's kind of asking for a broken back if things go south.

Have your lady wear your bag. Seems easy enough to me

I actually use a camelback mule. It holds about 6 disc, fits on my back easily and holds 3 liters of water. Sweet easy going day pack. I carry 2 drivers, 2 mids, and two putters. Worth a looks, Walmart also has some knockoff just like it for $20ish.

Just throw your discs and sh1t in there. Organizing is way overrated. But seriously, that would work just fine.
