Optimal bag for front rack use?

[davidvia]

Has anyone come across a bag that they find works particularly well on the CT125 front rack location? Something square and sturdy?

I was kind of surprised when I went looking that there wasn't a "purpose built" one like the center rack bags...

Thanks in advance!!

For a square and sturdy bag I don't think it really needs to be purpose built, also the CT125 front rack accessories vary a bit in size and shape. You could try a smaller size tank bag, but really the best options for a front rack bag are probably going to be a tail bag or fender bag (smaller).

I use my front rack for the tire repair things. I just put the tool bag inside a dry bag I had and strapped it to the rack

Depending on the rack, there's a few small apache cases that work well too. The Apache 1800 Case was used in this video which has both side and rider shots.

Rock bros makes a bike packing handlebar bag that I think would be perfect for the front rack. I am awaiting delivery of my CT125 so I have no actual CT125 to show it on but have the bag and have used it on my gravel bicycle and it works great. Check it out on Amazon.

I've got something like this already; I have the Revelate Designs version of it for my bikepacking bike. If you're interested in making one yourself or maybe this doesn't quite work out for you for dimensions reasons, a DIY alternative to a full blown bag is a handlebar sling with a drybag. There's a few instructions out there but they go something like this: https://www.instructables.com/Cheap-and-Easy-Bikepacking-Handlebar-Harness/

In this case, they refer to some weird plastic but the other alternatives I've seen are to use laundry detergent plastic containers and also those half gallon juice containers.
