Red Squirrel 19 Sep 7:28pm, 19 Sep 2024 24,382 posts	0 Red Squirrel I bought a handlebar bag without checking the bike I want to put it on. Doh! What does one do with all those cables in the way?
MudMeanderer 19 Sep 7:56pm, 19 Sep 2024 2,647 posts	0 MudMeanderer It can be a challenge. What bar bag and what types of bar (flat, drop)? You may possibly be able to get the cables tighter to the bar, or alternatively further away to bend around more (both of which may need changing cables) if you haven't currently got space.

Red Squirrel 19 Sep 10:15pm, 19 Sep 2024 24,383 posts	0 Red Squirrel That extender mount looks like a good idea. The bag’s a Pro Discovery 2.5L. The bars are flat.

Northern Exile 4 Oct 10:03am, 4 Oct 2024 10,505 posts	0 Northern Exile To my deep regret, I'm going to have to part with my Wilier GTR. As some of you might know I suffer from ankolysing spondylitis and struggle to ride machines such as this, it was put together by an extremely fastidious engineer (me) and no expense was spared. Full Ultegra R8000 and FSA peripherals throughout, I will post full spec later. I'll likely let it go for a very reasonable price. I would prefer people to collect it, I live in North Yorkshire on the edge of the Dales. This is a fast bike, without question the best I have ever ridden. Please contact me if you are interested.
Northern Exile 4 Oct 10:06am, 4 Oct 2024 10,507 posts	0 Northern Exile Oh yes, I should have said - it's a Wilier small, so that equates to a 54cm frame - it will suit people 5'6" - 5'9".
