Has anyone ever tried to use a handlebar bag with an Shimano STI equipped bike? Was there a problem?
Thanks, Tom
It's an annoyance more than a problem. You can just squish the cables out of the way - which works. Or you can use a V-brake noodle to route the cable down and around the bag, like this:
It works very well with an Ortlieb bag.
