Why doesn't the Diablo (Red) bag have compression straps that go all the way around the bottom like the others do? Look at the pics.

If she has a purse with longer handles it would be a perfect place put it. If you're talking about the larger basket, it is kind of low but usually bags have handles so you don't have to bend all the way to the bottom.

It uses Velcro straps to wrap around the head and a plastic buckle under the tube but they don't hold tightly against the tube, which means they tend to stick out a bit too far to the sides. I hit them from time to time when pedaling. I've since replaced with a single bag that sits on top of the tube.

Mine have the same gathered bottom. I also purchased grocery store inexpensive bags and they also had the gathered bottom. Not sure why they are made that way.

Other than zippered openings in front, the only other opening is at the top where velcro is used to "seal" bag over your hanging bar; there will be slight space around plastic rings on ends of bag. Bottom is not open. I have tried many such bags, etc. And this is the best I have found.

Unfortunately no. That is only one of the short comings I feel this bag has. Although I thought this bag would be more in tune with what I was looking for, it fell well short. You may want to look at a "Domke". If I had an opportunity to see it prior to purchase, I would not have.

Sorry, I can't help you there. Originally I thought I was supposed to use it around the back straps. But they're crossed anyway. Then I thought maybe if there was some way of keeping the straps crossed lower down, the pouch would stay up higher on the front. And the little velcro strap might do that. But it doesn't stay where I want it to be. So I never figured it out.

Strange!I only have one smaller bag that fits inside,I don't know what the longer bag would be for???maybe it was a packaging mistake.I suggest calling manufacturer just to be sure but it works fine with the small bag.

There is a specific bag designed for left side carry. I do not understand your second question.

you can adjust the straps shown to a long length to use like a duffel bag style shoulder strap. I wear it like a back pack most times though.

There is a lever that allows you to make the strap as long or short as you need. You can roll up the slack with an elastic. It works great. When I use mine for biking I keep the strap short so the bag sits higher, when I walk with it I loosen it.

The pannier bags (Topeak) have a bungie/hook that 'hooks to the rack on either side of the axle where the secondary supports curl away from the main support tube. This keeps them from sliding back or forth - though hook doesn't go around the tubes - I beliave the tube diameter to be less than 1/2 inch.

The only thing I say which can be improved with this bag is if they made it with a flat bottom like the last tool bag/pouch I used. When it's zipped up it falls forward.

Butt stock of crossbow can rest in strap that drops from bottom of bag. You can cross top straps over limbs and make it work. There is plenty of extra straps to secure awkward cargo. I picked up a few extra carabiners to keep zippers secured to top D loop and ordered a hydro pack. I love this back pack.

Hi, do you mean on which side the buckle strap will rest or do you mean color? if you mean color you have to look for night edition of bags. if you want the shoulder strap on a certain side you have to email them or see it its an option when choosing your bag.

i guess more of the curved. the hydration pack is curved and that sits closets to your back, but there is some curve to the rest of it. This bag wasn't exactly designed for laptops. check out the momentum or the radial or the spin series. they will get you closer to what you're looking for if laptops are important. I should say that it's certainly possible to put one in there if you need to, remember there's not much of a bottom and no padding for one.

The main strap is designed to go across the body diagonally. There is then a smaller detachable strap to connect the main strap, diagonally in the other direction, back down to the bag.
