  2. Interesting. I rode my coker just yesterday with my trials strapped to
    my camelbak for the first time. It worked suprisingly well. I don't
    think I'll do it on a regular basis because it seems like an awful lot
    of stress on the pastic buckles, but as I was riding I thought, why are
    there no uni bags? Anyway, the price looks a little steep.

  4. I wrote to this vendor trying to purchase one, and they did not write
    back.

    Perhaps the language issue is a problem - I don't speak/write French.

    Has anyone every successfully ordered one of these from them outside of
    Europe?

  7. Their crank lengths are an issue. The 20" have crank lengths of
    140/160/170 and their 24" has cranks lengths of 125/135/137 . I'm
    assuming they got them reversed? It also seems like the pedal would
    jab you in the back.

    In which case you could just remove the pedals before putting it in the
    bag? I'd be prepared to do this. Then you avoid the crank and pedal
    issue...

    It'd be nice if someone could give some kind of reference for them, ie
    Yoggi... who's thanked for the pictures, so may possibly know something
    about them?

    I'm sure they are, as it's the manufacturer.

  12. I have just recieved one of their 24 inch unicycle bags. It took about 7
    days to get to me in Vancouver, BC.

    Mgypack was kind enough to put 'Sack Value = 20 EUR' so Customs did not
    make me pay any duty.

    I was a little apprehensive upon placing an order as their website was
    confusing. the English portion of their website made almost no sense.

    I emailed the company twice and recieved a response after about a day
    or two. They have just sold out of their 24 inch muni bags and I bought
    the last one - which was their prototype bag. They will have another
    production run in a few months.

    I paid via PayPal.

    On the 24 inch uni bag the bag can be carried as a backpack and it very
    compfortable - the pedal extrusion does not get in the way as it is off
    to the side on my hip.

    The bag fits my 170 mm cranks with pedal on without any issues.

    The quality of the bag - materials and sewing- is really good.

    Pics below.

    They are really well made.

  13. Very nice. I was investigating getting an mgypack myself. Emailed the
    guy and he was very nice, although I have no money at the moment.

    Is there any room to carry anything else in your 24" pack? Like, any
    room for tools or water or anything?

  15. They were sold out of their regular 24 inch models so I got their
    prototype. I do not know if the regular ones have pockets. The
    prototype doesn not have a pocket. It would be a good idea though!

    I stick my leg armour, gloves, allen key, small empty hydration
    backpack and pump in mine. I strap my helmet around the neck of the
    case/bag.

    A water bottle would probably fit, but it would be a tight fit.
