Carradice Super C & Ortlieb Classic Handlebar Bags Side by Side Review (that includes the map cases)

A review of the Carradice Super C handlebar bag and the Ortlieb Classic handlebar bag side by side including the map cases which were missing from a previous review.
The map case on the Carradice is a more robust and clear to see through the plastic. The Ortlieb map case is older show it is a bit grubby. Both bags are excellent. My partner prefers the smoother looks of the Ortlieb whilst I prefer the retro old fashioned style of the Carradice and its more square style.

Hi, Love the comparison video. I have an old Ortlieb bag and I cannot figure out how to attach the mounting system to the handlebar. Could you please explain how to put it together? That would be super helpful

Yes the figure of eight loop is tricky to get your head around. This video should help you out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3jUnJeAa7apaNksi=SPY39eK1BkqyxmMS

These are the fixings for the carradice but also work on the ortileb and are easier to fit. www.bike24.com/p258560.html

I guess the magnets on the Ortlieb would play havoc with GPS and compass direction

[@RidingBicycles]

Not thought about that, I suppose if you had traditional compass near a magnet then it might but it is a small one on the front. I have Not had issues with gps devices as they are generally mounted on the bars. Plus I am not sure if a magnet would effect a digital device. Not my field of expertise.

I have the Super C, very useful and I like the fixing but think the external pockets should be stretchy.

Very good bag. I use it for my camera gear when on a ride.
