Touring bag puts the D rings in the back seam for the bag frame.. FWIW..
a strap around the load to pull it down and out of the way of the handlebars
Is probably useful ..
Been thinking about the lining issue with the T bag since I am about to start making three of them, one for each of us. Has been collecting "stuff" needed for some time.
The main bag (black material) is going to be made from a heavy ripstop I bought some time back. Not water proof I think but close. Same with the lighter lining material. My worry is that since both materials are almost water proof then water trapped between them (one day it is going to happen) can stay there for quite some time and maybe start moulding if mixed with"stuff".
I need to find a way to insert the stiff support for the bottom into the construction. Maybe a opening in the bottom of the bag (from the innside) closed with welcro to be able to open up and vent it out? Maybe I am just thinking too much?
Remember to seal the seams if you want waterproof. I think I`ll end up using the rain cower but who knows?
