Winshell jacket storage on ride?

[AnnieBikes]

I love that idea. I was wondering what I might use on Bike Virginia as my new Felt FW3 has no eyelets to put a rack on and I like to carry rain gear etc in a rack bag. I have been looking for a solution since you cannot put a seat post rack on a carbon seat post. This looks like a very good solution for the things that would "bulk up" my jersey pockets too much. Great suggestion...perfect solution. Thanks so much.

I just rode a very wet Tour De Cure today. My jacket has a stuffsack pocket, so I rolled it up into that, then took a really thick velcro strap. I looped it under my seat rails and around the jacket. It stayed just over the end of my saddle bag - out of the way so i could get into the bag, and never in danger of falling or shifting.

Great tip. That was gonna be my next step. I can sew a lil. I was checking out some inexpensive elastic and velcro from the fabric department to make a set up. Paid a bit more and let Delta rig it up for me (slacking lol).

I used the velcro strap that holds my Dinotte batteries - velcro with a plastic loop. It was perfect. So perfect, in fact, that I didn't want to undo it to put on said jacket.

That's part of how I came to this resolve as well. At first I had purchased one of Delta's slim seat post racks w/detachable bag. Very nice set up for just an extra gear umph when you want it. Thank goodness I read my TE bike resource on the carbon first... cuz I didn't know any better. The rack was a return. But later, when shopping post (still got a carbon, btw atm), some peeps here w/carbon rides use an alum post for this very reason (or switch it out as a back-up alternative). Thomson makes a great post. The Elite version is pretty light for what it is. FWIW. Btw, hope your ride goes great!
