got my Reload a week ago. custom stripes/colors. I'd wanted a pretty intricate design, but that was $$, so I went with something simple and classic. So much better than the bags I've had in the past, but I'm still a bit confused about the strap system.
...why does it never work when I try to post pics on here??...

it's a little awkward when the bag is full and you've already got it swung around your body, cause the buckle ends up on your shoulder... but other than that i love the strap. easy to adjust with one hand when i'm riding, i can synch it up perfect against my body and it allows for small adjustments.

the buckle (i'm left shoulder strapped) if i strap it really tight ends up just underneath my shoulder and in front of my armpit. this morning i rode to work with my bad a little loose and i was diggin it, although i mostly had clothes in my bag.
it is easy to adjust while riding, especially easier if you can ride without hands, which i'm assuming most people can do.

yeah, it's not all that hard to figure it out.
pull up and in, then pull down.
to loosen pull up and out... i think.

Bagaboo medium. Shouldn't have asked for the clips to be on the outside (wanted easier access). And the design is black and gray; got kinda washed out by the flash.
