Easily cut to exact shapes, pliable but tough. I've got a couple of bits lining the rucksack pocket where I stick my tablet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13737#post-168949 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:26:26 +0000 Instography 168949@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For what it's worth I've been using a Carradice with all my stuff in a dry bag (I never trust a bag that claims to be waterproof and barely trust two) and it's never caught on any of the fittings inside. </p> <p>I'd be more inclined to take a hammer and a file to the sharp edges. But it does occur to me that the "Carradice" I made has no metal fittings inside. Or outside. A bonus.</p> <p>But if it's only a problem of fittings catching, padding the whole inside seems like overkill. I'd go for Kappers' tape solution. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13737#post-168948 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:16:02 +0000 Arellcat 168948@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I bought a super cheap camping mat from Halfords once, and chopped it up to make a padded liner for a rack bag. Hot glue works pretty well to stick the bits together, and you can then hoike it out en masse for when you don't need the padding. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13737#post-168937 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:10:21 +0000 kaputnik 168937@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A couple of layers of gaffertape over the offending metal parts? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13737#post-168935 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:52:30 +0000 Darkerside 168935@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Things will definitely be in appropriate bags themselves. This is some bonus protection to prevent snagging/scratching </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13737#post-168932 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:45:03 +0000 Instography 168932@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What are you putting in it? Laptop? I'd be more inclined to use a bag for the thing(s). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13737#post-168929 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:40:45 +0000 Darkerside 168929@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Carradice pannier I've pressed into service on the commute has exposed metalwork from the mounting hooks on the inside. Flat, but sharp edges.</p> <p>My cunning plan is to line the back and base of the bag with some kind of lightly-coloured thin padding. At the moment I'm thinking a cut-up cheap sleeping mat and double-sided tape.</p> <p>Anyone got any better ideas before I dig out the scissors? </p>
