- Hope this helps for all the DIY'ers. I now make bikepacking bags commercially. www.bedrockbags.com if you want to check them out. They are of much higher quality than back when I made this video!
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Obviously 20 professional seamstresses disliked this video because they could do a much better job but forgot to make a video of it.
viděl jsem tohle video jako novinku před 11lety, už tehdy jsem si říkal, že si taky ušiji brašnu, tohle video bylo pro mě takový vstup do šití, od té doby jsem si ušil několik brašen, rád se sem vracím
Wow. That was incredible. I wish I had the skills to put together such quality work.
I actually saw this and my mom and I are now working on making a frame bag as well as a top tube bag. Thanks for posting.
Awesome video.. i remember watching this years ago and created my own bike frame bag shortly after it. Best video on youtube.
Thanks for the bluegrass in the background. I also listen to bluegrass music when I sew!
That is one hell of a good job Sir!
Still the best video on how to sew a frame bag. Wow.
You sure make it look easy! Nice bag! Waterproof zippers too ! Fantastic!
Thanks for making this video it help me out a lot and let me make my own frame bag's for my Big Dummy.This was only the start of making all of my bag's.The internet rock's for me.Thanks again for this well done video.
Dude. I just stumbled onto this video. I really have no interest in making one but your video was so well made I just sat and watched the whole thing. Good job man. Well done
I had made a smaller frame bag about 2yrs ago thats still serving me well ...and I had used the materials from an old piece of black luggage we were throwing out anyway. Including the zipper, final COST was $0 dollars and about 2-3 hrs of my time.
Good idea MadCow
Great idea. What kind of needle did you need for sewing machine?
You nailed it, Dude! Good job for real!
Awesome! Just bought a bag off your site. Which is incredible by the way. Seamless experience.
SOUNDTRACK: Ray LaMontagne. Very detailed job! (bag and video). thnx!
YIOU ARE A GENIUS! i was searching for one frame bag and i found not cheaper than 160$ !!!!!!! thank you so much!
Thanks for this video! Watched it a few years ago and finally used it (along with a few other resources) to sew a bag for my 2017 Kona Unit! Cheers from Ottawa Canada!
Awesome, thanks Paul. Ride on!
Oh boy I need some sewing lessons lol, awesome job looks great and very practical. 👍
well if your school still has Home Ec ... that is always a neglected elective now being eliminated from schools.... no idea why as that is very useful ... much like wood shop!
Thanks for the great video. I made two for mine and my wife's Surly Lht bikes. We are both adventure cyclist and these are just what we needed.
you are very good, I like when people do something on their own. job well done.
Good design, good execution, good bag. GOOD JOB!!
Used your video and made one for myself. Love it. After a bikepacking trip I had no regrets except that i wished I had tapered the bottom corner of the bag. The cogs on the crank caught it every once in a while and made a small hole. Thanks for the instructions!
Solid tip here! Was wondering exactly this
awesome video! im gonna try and make my first bike bag this was super helpful!
Great Video!! Thanks so much for showing how its done. Making one for my road bike. Bought a cheap ripstop backpack from walmart for 10 bucks, cut it apart and make the size/shape I want. Thanks again!!! Well done!!!
Yo that came out really good. I'll need to make a nice custom half frame bag myself. Thanks for the video.
Amazing framebag! I just bought it as finished product for 39 euros because it was cheaper compared to making it myself (with tools that are needed to sew it).
10 out of 10 . Well done and thanks for sharing and making look so easy.
That’s a superb bag. Well done.
Your bag looks sharp. Thanks for sharing the build.
You make it look so easy.
Awesome! Looks like rocket science to me tbh
I love it when men can sew. That turned out great. Good job! =0)
Its a power tool. Just like the vacuum cleaner.
Jeff MacDonald Clever.
I like bikepacking. In the desert, it is impt to carry a lot of water. So, if I were to make a pack, I would make it to carry hydration bladders for water.
Holy smokes!!! That is an awesome creation mate!!! I would buy it hands down :-)
Looks great!
Very nice work looks super professional!
Great work👍
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I built the same design but added an outside pocket and rain flap to cover the zipper and my added pocket I didn’t make mine fill the entire triangle. I brought mine down about 11 inches.
I also added reflective material on the sides just to highlight the bike in traffic,
This is pretty dope! Thanks for making a video... I hope to try making one in the near future.
sweet build mate, looks great!
Great job, I hope to get some bikepacking in this summer also!
Thanks a really helpful video that will stand test of time !!
Aesome work! I am making my own right now out of old inner Tube and an old tire for the side wall, i hope it Turnus out as good as yours
I think you did a marvelous job on that bag. I live in Colorado and would love to hire you to make me a bag if possible.
In the description you can find he has a business now at bedrockbags.com.
Nice one ! Thanks for the cool video.
Fantastic tutorial!
Very neat and detalied!!
Great, thank you very much. Will do one myself in the upcoming weeks.
turned out awesome!
Well done, thanks for the video!
don´t know if i´m going to make one some day, but it´s really a great thing!!
Awesome! I wanna do this now!
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing this!
Great job 👍🏼
nice work!
personally, I prefer Tex90 bonded polyester thread (poly has better UV resistance than nylon) and I try to stick with a 1/2 inch seam allowance on all outdoor gear. Xpac is great stuff, I wish it wasn't so pricey...
Wow, good work!
awsome , I am going to add a couple of d rings and stoe a strap and also use it as a sling bag
Nice job!
Nice work.
Everyone remember to seal your seams!
What would you suggest to seal it with?
Pretty damn good!
Totally amazing.
Awesome video, and thanks for sharing! Can someone please let me know what kind / model of sewing machine will work for such projects? I'm totally new in this.
Thanks for Uploading :D That looks great!
Wow, looks amazing :-)
great video. thanks
Thanks for this super helpful video! Love the cool little loop you added to help to open and close the zipper. Did you also buy this from Rockywoods?
Top job.
I think that it's important to seal the seam, with some glue.
Great video, but thats a dorky ass version of train on the island. Damn Berklee kids.
This looks like a cool winter project to play around with, thanks. I'm wondering about waterproofing as far as the seams go. Comments anyone?
Edit...Basting tape seems like a good idea.
Nice. Thanks man!
Why do you sew a paracord line on the zipper? Awesome 😊 job. Thanks.
It gives you something to pull on so you can close the zipper. This is not something that is really necessary because as long as you position one of your velcro straps that mount the bag to the frame behind the zipper it will close just fine.
Nice work mate:)
Awesome video, thanks. What kind of thread do you use on the machine?
REALLY REALLY GREAT JOB!!!! :-) I would like to be able to. But I don't.
You sewed the two panels together with the divider. In the next scene the panels are separeted.... I don't understand? In which order did you fix the divider with the panels?
very impressive
That came out really great! It is an advanced project though. Any tips (sites, videos, etc) for where a beginner should start out?
genius!
wow!
bravo!
I wish Leader still made mountain frames...
Who is the band playing at about 3.30?
any links to materials vendors that you purchase your supplies from? Thanks.
I can't keep the xpac vx21 from curling up any ideas on keeping it flat
@iksnyzrog You could probably do this project with a half a yard. I might get a full yard just in case.
Do you have any advies on how to sew the corners over the bag? I really struggle with them, especially when i sew on the back panel; The fabric in the corners will bunch up and get all crooked due to the tension. Btw nice bag
,Thatks alot , very helpful , do you think you can make a saddle bag?
Very nice.... where did you get the waterproof zipper?
It looks great! So how has this worked out, would you build it the same if you made it again?
which sewing machine did you use for this?
Thank for sharing I am about to make my own ,did you use a special sewing machine ,or any would do?
Wow !
How many yards of ripstop material did you need for this bag? Thanks and this looks great by the way.
Damn, nice.
I'm planning to try my hand on this, but with tarp material (like tent groundsail or ikea frakta bag).
Do you think that would work?
How much fabric have you used?
Thats awesome, I'm going to scale down the idea so I can go packless on longer epic rides on my MTB, how do you carry water on this set up?
I typically carry two water bottles mounted to the fork stanchions and a spare liter under the down tube with our Bedrock Bags Honaker pack.
Now you own Bedrock Bags right? Just running into this video after finding your Company.
Well, I started Bedrock, but am now a co-owner. Along with our sister company Nightfall Overland. We have come a long way, and it all started with this first frame bag project in 2011.
@@greenwater780 that’s so cool man. I’m really hoping my brother gets me the Honaker for Christmas. I bought a Surly Pugsley at Durango Outdoor Exchange in September and want to kit it out for bikepacking.
