Oxford X30 tankbag. One criticism. Only two decent bungee rings to attach to, unlike my old Humpback Oxford one, which had two at each end. I like to bungee the tank bag on because I always use something soft to protect the paint, so the effectiveness of the magnets is reduced, but if you look at my photo of the bike in front of Llyn Brianne dam (A Few Days In Wales thread) you may notice the tankbag is mounted back-to-front. This puts the two d-rings at the rider end. The way I bungee it, bungees around the front frame portions (being very careful not to snag cables, HT leads etc) with the bag the right way round, tended to pull the front down, leaving the back sticking up. Otherwise, as good as the old one
Oh, and they don't give you bungees with the bag anymore - stingy sods!.
