That whole flopping to one side has put me off a little bit =/

I was half tempted to get one for my chain and lock before reading this thread. Glad I did now.

Anyone got any experience of using a kriega us 10 as a tail pack for a lock carrier?

Reckon they'd be sturdy enough? Thinking that way I can always strap it to my kriega backpack for times I need more storage and not the lock.

I have one for my almax 3. Definitely sturdy enough, quality is amazing compared to other tail packs, you can really see why it's so expensive. Almax used to give them away with their chains apparently. The 3 fits nicely with some room to spare.

This is all wrong...
the bag is upside down and facing the wrong way (the way it is facing is a matter of preference).

Most decent chains come with them.
Often, even if they don't, you can get a free one if you buy in person from a bike accessories shop. It seems like one of those things that shops get sent precisely so they can give them out to customers!

No, I meant the chain brand's own purpose-made lock carriers, designed to be hard-wearing while securing several pounds of solid metal to your back seat.

Kriegas are more general purpose luggage for lighter loads and WAAAAAAY too big & floppy for safe chain carriage, IMO.

I have the US-10 for my Almax III and it fits with space to spare, you could fit a lock, disk lock and a few bits and pieces in there no problem. The 5 would be too small I think.

1.5m. By bits and pieces I mean a pair of gloves, that sort of thing. Not heaps of space left, but a convenient amount if needed.

I just bought the 2m Almax 3 chain so if your 1.5m fits in mine should too.. if I take the gloves out

Thanks.

tell her if she gave you a ride as good as the bike she'd be called "the wife" not "the girlfriend"
