In over 1/2-century of cycling, this my 1st handlebar bag; I am a minimalist and like as little as possible on my bikes. But for off-season rides I concluded I needed warmer clothing sometimes and this allowed me to pack a jacket just in case. A year into ownership, I finally tried it yesterday. Went on easy, the side bungees stayed put over the entire ride (surprised me a bit) and did not add enough weight to adversely affect handling. It does interfere a little bit with riding on the bar tops. Alas, my jacket took up 100% of the bag's capacity; I think the problem is... I need a more compact jacket.

This is a great bag that sits nicely on my Rawland rando rack while still attached to the handlebars. I’ve been looking for something this size for a while and it fits my needs perfectly. My only minor complaint is that the single loop string down the middle makes stable rack attachment tricky.

Just what I was looking for to mount on my VO Rando Rack - not too big, not too small. Goldilocks! I added two grommets to the bottom of the bag to better secure it to the rack. Works like a charm.

I put this bag on the drop bars on one of my road bikes, and it was immediately apparent that the bag’s Achilles heel is the system to keep it upright and stable. The loops and elastic straps that run from the bag to the handlebars work OK, but with even a bit of weight in the bag it tends to bounce around. I doubled the elastic straps, which helped reduce but not eliminate the sway. I finally landed on a solution, which was to take a bar-mounted cyclocomputer bracket and install it vertically behind the bag. I then zip-tied the bag to the bracket. Everything is upright and stable now—no more bouncing, even with a bit of weight in the bag.

Swaying and bouncing issues aside, the Mini-Rando is nicely made. I’m used to random bags with flap that opens from the back, but the zippered opening on the Mini-Rando works well and keeps everything in the bag inside where it belongs. It’s a great option to more expensive bags that do much the same thing.

I like rackless bags, and I like Road Runner Bags even more--the Jumbo Jammer is hands down the best bike bag I have owned. I bought the VO x RRB Mini-Rando bag on a whim, and I am extremely impressed regardless of the fair price I paid.
