EDIT: Problem likely solved! :) (see comments - new rack hitch)

Hey #BikeTooter folks, does anyone have a #BurleyTravoy that didn't initially reach the hitch, and they created a workaround?

I have an old Travoy that needed a hitch, which I got for Christmas, but unfortunately the trailer can't reach the hitch because the eBike battery is in the way. It's not something that can be relocated. Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution? Thanks!

I made some saddlebags and the weather was kind enough to give me a chance for an outdoor photo shoot.

these are saddlebag prototypes. They still need an elastic strap to attach. I ordered some Voilé 12'' which I hope will be long enough. The two smaller ones are 2'' wide and the bigger ones are 3''. I plan to use the 3'' just because it looks better with my brand of tube rolled up inside.

These take about 45 minutes for me to make now and I have the basic features pretty much dialed in. Still trying to get that consistent, crisp box look but it will come with time. Meanwhile these are all ready for some field testing as soon as the straps arrive!

Big thanks to the instructions I followed here https://learnmyog.com/zpinstructions.html

1/2 I think with these great #bikebags, the need for a #cargobike is off the table for now. 😜 I'm curious to see how we will think about this in a few weeks because one aspect has already struck me. #bikepacking #simplelife #cycling #topeak #tetrarack
