AGU Ventura bar bag

Have you managed to stop it rattling?

I was pleased with quality and design of the bag. The click and go bracket was very quick and easy to fit.

As soon as I went out though it constantly rattles on any but the smoothest surface. I hoped it was because it was empty but it's no better when loaded. It seems to be the pivot for leveling the bag (two big grey buttons) that is causing the problem. I can't even see anywhere I could stick some rubber to stop it. If I can't find anyother way to stop the noise I will have to squirt glue into the pivot which would be a shame as it will then be unlikely to ever fit any other bike.

Anyone else got one and found a way to stop the racket.

Just me then.

In case anyone has a similar problem, I have totally silenced it by allowing a 1" tap washer to settle itself between the pivot and the back of the bag. Worked well and doesn't interfere with removing the bag.

That just revealed an equally annoying rattle from the actual joint with the bag itself. I have stopped this by gluing some very thin soft rubber to the bracket on the back of the bag and forcing it home. This does prevent QR but will do fine for me. I would describe it as unusable as it was. My previous bag, a DHB (Wiggle own budget brand) was fine so long as it had a bit of weight in it.
