Thank you for the video as we are looking to travel with our Brompton from Australia and viewing all of the bag options - for flights and touring. As always, we appreciate your clear analysis. (Oh and I mounted the new spongeywonder noseless seat as per your instructions. Thanks again).
@@2Bikes4Adventure Not sure as yet. Could you recommend something? I have had my Brompton for a year, but my husband only one year. He had a stroke two years back and a little wobbly at present. So looking for somewhere quite safe, away from the main roads, as much as possible. Netherlands maybe? (As bike friendly) I think I have just about watched all your videos. However, I will go back through them to refresh my memory on where you have been. Thanks again. Great channel!
@vanessajones9455 The first one that comes to mind is South Korea’s 4 Rivers trail, likely the best long distance (700km) bike path infrastructure we ever cycled ( ua-cam.com/video/C9ZUwmaU0rM/v-deo.html ). Last time we cycled in Netherlands was about 30 years ago. The bike infrastructure is excellent, as can be expected. It is also easier to get served in English than in South Korea. Strong winds should not be ignored however (no wonder windmills are a national symbol). The Avenue Verte from Paris to London (or vice versa) is easy and it comes with 2 destinations that are very interesting, a bonus if you never visited them before. ( ua-cam.com/video/Q2oUw8Ga12c/v-deo.html ) France offers numerous nice trails. Easy to find accommodations and great food. The Velodyssée is excellent (almost completely on dedicated bike paths). ua-cam.com/video/tkKw1MqKJvw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/yyZPIyin-Og/v-deo.html The Loire Valley is very scenic (a lot of castles). It is not always on dedicated paths however.
Most high capacity rear rack solutions are DIY hacks (ex.: Brompton Traveler, PathLessPedaled). There is room (pun intended) for manufacturers to come up with innovative solutions leveraging the unusual Brompton rear-end aspect ratio.
Thank you very much for the review. I wanted to buy the brown one, but I was informed that it was out of stock. Finally, I am ordering the black version. Vincita assures me that the entire line, regardless of the color, is made of 600D Polyester 😮
I agree with brompton traveller that best setting is FRONT(30L10KG ) REAR(50L10KG), but for this video, it think the rear bag is much better if it is a backpack. so if the klickfix mount can convert into a backpack, it would be much easier to carry with.
The Brompton touring rear bag “holy grail” would have a large capacity (enough for camping equipments), solid/easy anchoring system (UniKlip is a good starting point), include backpack shoulder straps and ideally be waterproof (à la Ortlieb).
@@2Bikes4Adventure sorrry not that good at english, but search wordings(The Brompton touring rear bag “holy grail” ) cannot find the uniklip rear backpack, do you mind to provide the exact name, great thanks.😀
Coucou Pam et Gilbert, une belle découverte de voir que Vincita a fait ce sac en version plus grande! Il était justement sur ma liste de sac (le plus petit) pour un prochain voyage. Merci pour cette vidéo trés claire et précise! C'est vrai qu'il y a vraiment plus de sacs avant que arrière, même si certains ont déja essayé de mettre des sacoches ortlieb mais ce serait vraiment bien d'avoir une gamme de sacs touring arrière spécialement conçu pour Brompton. 👋✌
En effet, il semble y avoir un marché pour un sac arrière de grande capacité adapté spécifiquement pour les Bromptons. Le choix étant très limité, les cyclo-touristes doivent trop souvent s’accommoder de solutions DIY. Plusieurs sacs imperméables pour vélo, moto et kayak existent. Ne serait-il pas possible d’en modifier/créer un pour qu’il puisse s’attacher à un Brompton facilement? Un jour peut-être.
A third option for Brompton rear rack luggage is the Rixen & Kaul Rackpack (which also uses the great uniklip system). It is waterproof. It is lighter. It sits further back on the rear rack, which minimises potential heel strike. (The uniklip isn't in the middle of the bag but as far to the front as possible. Therefore the bag sits as far to the back of the rack as possible giving your heels as much space as possible to pass the bag without hitting it) Here's a video: ua-cam.com/video/mwLU41E-eOk/v-deo.html I use this bag when I go camping with my Brompton. I also like that I can sling it over my shoulder, carry the T-Bag in one hand and my Brompton in the other hand when changing trains. Being able to move everything in one go is nice.
I recently got a blue one of the big nash. I do love the capacity although I’m slightly puzzled about the ends of the zipper on both sides seem to be tied down as opposed to being detachable. Could’ve potentially squeezed a few more item in the main compartment.
Indeed. The zippers tie-down webbing on both side seems to be for cosmetic purpose only. An ajustable webbing version could be an interesting upgrade in a future version.
My holy grail is a waterproof backpack that can fit on the Brompton front mount when I'm riding the Brompton, and then move to a rear rack when I decide to take a different bike. I wonder if this KlickFix mount will fit on the bottom of an Ortlieb Office Bag? That's what I'm currently using.
Totally agree. Would also add “20 litres or more, adjustable roll-top and external attach points (ex.: water bottle holder)”. The Ortlieb Office bag dimensions are almost identical to the Vincita Big Nash (at least for the Office bag we own). So, the UniKlip would indeed work. Our Office bag came with a removable U-shape stiffener lining the bottom and sides of the bag. The UniKlip fasteners would have to be attached through that stiffener as the Office bag bottom without the stiffener would likely be too weak to support the weight of a fully loaded bag.
@2Bikes4Adventure Hehe also agree! Since we're making a wishlist it should have backpack carry straps option (with 1 second switch from backpack to pannier mode) and reflectivity.
Hi there! Thanks for the excellent review. Have you tried to carry the bag on the bike while folded? My concern is being able to carry both this bag and the front city bag on my Brompton electric. The nice thing about the Brompton rack bag is that you can turn it around and fix it to the frame when folding the triangle for rolling or to stand the bike up.
No easily way to carry it on the top tube while the bike us folded. One solution could be to create a DIY platform similar to Platform B from VeloSolo and cut it to be the same width as the rear rack. It could then be used to anchor the Nash (with seat up) when folded. We haven’t tested this set-up however.
Good question. One could indeed worry about the shorter length and “tapered” nature of the advance roller (P/T-Line) rack. We do not presently have access to such a rack to test, so we cannot confirm either way. However, some regular Nash customers commented on the Vincita site that it attaches correctly on their P-Line. Since both the regular and Big Nash have the same UniKlip mechanism, odds are it will work with the Big Nash as well. If you send us the dimensions of your P-Line rack, we could confirm (or invalidate) the theory.
Very nice bag indeed. Large volume, side pockets, extendable cover flap (with attach points), easier to “park” the bike… What is not to like? PS Is the load high center of gravity noticeable when riding?
Thanks for making such a useful video, it looks great and a Big Nash Bag is on it's way🙂!
I love your videos so much! So informative and organized, with excellent graphics. Thank you.

@@2Bikes4Adventure wealth of knowledge. Really appreciate your replies. I will view all. Thank you!
Bought the bag, partly based on your review. Thank you and best regards.
Considering how small it is, the luggage capacity of the Brompton is amazing. Just one more of its list of impressive features.

Kind of similar to the Orlieb Trunk-RC, but with a Uniklip instead: sehr gut!
Is what you are describing for the big nash or for the third option? Thank you ":-)

It looks well balanced. But when you add so much luggage to your bike, should you reconsider whether the gearing is low enough?
Despite the larger size, the maximum rack capacity remains 10Kg.
A 6speed (C Explore) with a 44T chainring should be able to handle it.
can the plastic rack on the Vincita Big Nash Bike be removed from the bag?
The UniKlip attachment can be totally removed from the Big Nash by accessing 4 screws located inside the bag.
Hello. Would this be suitable for the P-line rack, which I think is a bit smaller than the standard brommy rack?
Great vid as always BTW.
😁

@@2Bikes4Adventure yep, it’s the taper that I was thinking would be the issue, but sounds ok if the smaller one fits‽ ☺️
Indeed
@cheesescientist, a subscriber just posted a comment mentioning that the Big Nash installed on the P-line rack may result in heel strike.
@@2Bikes4Adventure that’s such a shame. Thanks for the heads up.
I suppose it’s not the size of anything that matters it’s how one uses it,
No thanks. I still prefer my 'Carradice Originals Camper Longflap Saddlebag' and a 'Bagman Quick Release Clamp'.
Very nice bag indeed. Large volume, side pockets, extendable cover flap (with attach points), easier to “park” the bike… What is not to like?
