Would this bag fit on a bike with drop handlebars with cables in the way?

Hi Glen, I'm using it on a dropbar now. I have a Raleigh Revinio 3, but now that I'm typing this I realize that one of the "features" on this bike was the fact that the cables were under the handlebar tape so maybe that's not a good benchmark. I actually bought this bag before I got that bike though, and the bike I originally had it on was a flatbar Schwinn. That did still have cables in the front, but they didn't got out forward, they actually ran sideways (so paralell with the handlebar), and I was easily able to just tuck them behind the bag when it was clipped on - with no effect on performance. Hope that helps, Tim

I use it on my bike (Cannondale T800) which has drop handlebars. It's a bit of a squeeze and it does bump the cables when I take it on and off, but it works for me.

My bike doesn't have those kind of handlebars, but it has many cables that run along the handlebars. The mount for the bag is about 2" wide and 1/2" deep so it holds the bag away from the handlebars about 1/2" which allows plenty of room for the cables to run in between the bag and the handlebars. I would expect the bag to work fine with your cables & handlebars. I love mine, and works well.

sorry for delay. I have straight handlebars. The clip on bracket has two clamps, one on each side of the post that the handle bars are secured to. You need about 2" on each side of center for bracket. I looked at pix of drop handlebars and from the pix, I think it is workable.

I had this bag mounted on my 40 yo Motobecane and although it was tight, the brakes, which were the only handlebar mounted cabling, were functional. I just switched it to my new Morin, and much to me surprise, the handlebars were 3" wider, and the bag mounted perfectly and the brakes which also shift the gears, are just fine.

I dont see why not. Assuming you dont put a alot of weight inside it. It carries all of my bike tools and personal stuff just fine, along with a bike cable and lock. I get alot of compliments on it.

I hope it fit my friend's bike as it was a gift. His daughter picked it out but probably didn't check the bracket. That information in the product description is important so hopefully Amazon will update to give more information about the options to fit this bag on the handlebars.

I do not believe so because the mufflers on that bike angle up it would overheat if not actually touch the bag. If you aren't riding with passenger I would recommend the Nelson Riggs cl 1040 tall center bag

Hi, I just have a plain Delta bike rack, the bag is held on by velcro straps, so as long as you have something to loop the velcro straps around, it should be fine. There are no quick release attachments on my rack either.

I use it with a large mountain bike, and the resistance selector cable isn't long enough to reach the handlebars where it is intended to mount.

This is an universal bag mainly for sport style bikes but could be used on Harley with luggage rach or rear seat.Best regardsRichard

It should mount to any handlebars. Is there anything in front of the handlebars that would prevent the bag from sitting there? There is a clamping mechanism that he bag slides in and out of. The biggest problem we have run in to is making sure our cables are out of the way of the bag when it is locked in place.

Yes, with all the many ways and positions you can use a u-lock on a bike frame, this bag should not come in the way.

I think it would, I have a nashbar elite handlebar bag I was planning to mount on this which measures about 10 inches in width. There would be about 1.5 inches from the back of the bag to the stem which is about the distance of the mounting hardware. This is a good bar. It is the diameter of older mountain bike components however, that being the stem diameter and shifter/ brake mount diameter so be aware if you have newer stuff it may not work. good luck

I can't be 100% sure, but with the multitude of straps on this bag, you should have no problems having this thing fit on your bike.

Not absolutely sure. My guess is yes, but the lock I assume is heavy and so is the cable. The weight may cause the bag to droup down some and put some pressure on the shift and brake cables. On a casual basis probably you'll be ok, but if this would be for daily use you might want to consider something else.

Should fit well. We put it onto a hybrid with straight bars. Very good bag.

It would basically work the same way just along the slanted angle. But the tube bag would still attach at the neck of the handle bars and then on the slanted section of the bike.

I have this bag with 25 ft. of 2 gauge cables and there is room to spare. I would guess that it could hold your cables easily.
