FML123

I bought a small Revelate Tangle a few months ago, for a small size (51cm) cyclocross bike. I’m 5’6-1/2” (169cm). On test rides in my apartment parking lot my knees kept rubbing (I ride slightly knees-in), so I never really wanted to ride with it mounted. Yesterday I rode about 50km with it and I was pleasantly surprised to discover my knees more or less auto-adjusted after 1 km or so, and the frame bag never bothered me after that. My knees would occasionally lightly brush the bag, but not enough to annoy (and I get annoyed easily!). So now I can get my frame pump off the down tube and also load it with a rolled-up windbreaker, wallet, and oversized cellphone. I did have to get a bottle cage adapter to mount the cage lower, and a side-entry cage, which eased access to my bottle.
