szakibHey Fedi!
What's your favourite way of transporting a tube of (33") arrows on a bike?
Andrej Shadura@szakib just hold them in your left hand?
Psycodepath@szakib english medievil carried around a quiver with 20 arrows with a spacer inside, i think with some leftover Ikea bake or a tarp, a piece of plywood for the spacer, a drill and some stitching and/or hot glue you can fabricate a quiver with the desired capacity that can be attached to a Backpack quite nicely
@szakib or use some foam for the spacer. Would probably prevent any rattling
@psycodepath I know what you are thinking about, one of my club mates has one. It's not really the right design for transport. I would very much prefer to attach the arrow tube to the bike. You can see the size / shape at the link.
[Edit: my question is about geometry/safety, noise or damage is not the issue.]
MelaTogether with the other equipment in a special archery backpack.
@mela I do that for the winter season, because the indoor range is close. I'm looking for a more comfy (not on my back) solution now where things are attached to the bike. If nothing else, I'll just stick everything into an Ortlieb side bag.
edd@szakib What's the diameter? Anything less than 3"/5-7cm(?) and I'd strap it to my top tube. Wider and probably strap it to my back/sling over my shoulder.
@edd Slightly over 10cm and it's quite much longer than the top tube. Strapping it there was also my first idea, but it's too big in both directions.
@szakib Yea, probably strapped over the back, as much as I dislike to do that. You could put it on the rear rack and have it stick out pretty far, but that could be a hazard in its own way.
@edd as said in another branch of replies, my best idea so far is vertical in an Ortlieb side bag. I guess I am fishing for something where it's vertical, but less dangly than that.
@szakib Could always lash it to the rack at the top so it's in the side bag, but not just floating in it. Maybe with something else at the bottom of the bag as well to give it two points of securement. If you had two rubber straps, or the ability to macrame a little bottom bit for extra support, you could use two straps to hold it vertically on a rack. Rubbery straps/rubber shims should provide enough friction to keep it from slipping down if tight enough.
@szakib Or if time isn't really of the essence, something like the Banjo Brother's mounting system could probably be created for the tube. Something like the fourth picture here [1], but with only a single hook on top probably that connects to the bungee strap (and strap held in place with some strapping). Kind of like this?
@edd this second one is interesting, but I will try the bag + bungee to keep it tight first. Simpler if it works well.
@szakib The idea of bike archery is really humorous to me right now to be honest. Bike quivers for archery on bike-back (and funnily enough I did find one archery brand that also owns a bike brand, but sadly doesn't mix them).
