I''m looking for a handlebar bag which has a decent/functional bracket/loop on the front for a light.
I currently have a Topeak Compact bar bag which, at 2 l, is about the right size but the light loop on the front is useless as when you attach a light it points down to the road.
Can anyone put there recommend a 2/2.5l bar bag, ideally with a quick release bracket, which has a properly functional light bracket?
I'd prefer one with a zip top rather than a roll design for ease of access.
Not quite what you're after but I used a bar extension to mount my lights above the bag.
Like this but there are plenty of others on eBay. https://www.amazon.com/KBROTECH-Bicycle-Handlebar--Extension/dp/B06VW7GXM4
Or the B+M handlebar bracket
On or off road?
Fork crown or leg brackets work fine if you can fit one.
One of the perennial problems with handlebar bags. As TINAS says, one of the handlebar extenders is the usual workaround.
Thanks folks.
It's for on road, touring rather than racing, hence wanting one I can access easily for snacks/camera/other things.
Will have a look at the light extender thingys, there is a sort of plastic extender thing on the Topeak handlebar bracket but the loop handle on the top of the bag gets in the way of the light *rolls eyes*
