hi y'all, just ordered my kadet and I was wondering about getting a water reservoir that would fit in the u-lock holster. if anyone could share the dimensions of the pocket I'd appreciate it - thanks in advance
I've been looking for a handle for my Kadet, and I keep seeing these pop-up. However, I don't understand how it works, and the pictures look fake.
The ad states, "No glue, sewing, or other tools are needed to install!"
Does anyone have any experience with this mod?
happen to be watching the jack ryan series, second season first episode
Isn't there supposed to be a ring for my keys (for example). Or only on the mini?
I just bought a new laptop and it doesn't fit in my Buran III that I've had forever :|
The laptop is a beast. It's only 16 inch, but being a gaming laptop it has like a big overhang on the back. The overall dimensions are 14" x 10.8" x 1". The 10.8" dimension is where it's too big. Won't even fit in my backpack either.
Any ideas? Maybe the newer Citizen? Open to even bags made by other companies. I just need to get something.
I have this old (and I mean old) Chrome bag called the Blackbox. (Another post here asked about it and I couldn’t post pics in the reply so I posted this; I’ll put a link to the op in a comment.)
I picked up a Chrome Kadet Mini last year & it's become my daily since then, has been through multiple countries, carried a load of weight, been out in the rain and the cold. I cycle with it, I get public transport (occassional buses and trains) and use it while riding my motorbike and I often throw it on othe back seat of the car. About 6 months ago I added a stabilizer strap (that I occassionally use) and a metal seatbelt buckle... Since using it I carry my tech pouch and ear clips all the time, and that just makes my life better. It hasn't leaked and is still in great condition...
So, my point is... I haven't experienced the poor quality people keep bringing up here. I'm sure my case isn't isolated. Still a great brand, still great designs and from my perspective, still great quality...
Anyone have experience with Trash Bags? Seem to be a good alternative to Chrome now that the quality seems to have changed.
Seems to be a small operation? Hard to get certain sizes?
I've been using my Kadet max for a while now and have really enjoyed the size of an XL sling bag but I have been reading how chromes quality has gone down drastically and if my bag ever does give up I don't want to give more money to a company that dosn't care about their products. However I haven't been able to find another sling bag that has the same size and style as the Max, other courier/messenger and sling bags are either too small or don't have a zipper closure. Are there any options for bags of this size and style that still retain quality?
I had a chrome metro mini I bought in I think 2015, still looked brand new after thousands of miles on my back or strapped to my bike on either a bicycle or motorcycle. Sadly the strap got tangled in the wheel of my dirt bike and was ripped off. Had it sewed back on but it started leaking water so I figured I’d get a new one. Just got the citizen 15L (not the XRF model) and I can immediately tell the materials are awful. The tarp material on the inside is like a cheap cooler, the outside does not feel premium, the stitching doesn’t look great and the whole buckle and strap are so cheap I almost thought it was a fake. I’ll use this one until it’s destroyed but will never buy another chrome bag unless I can find an older used model. One pro I will say is the pocket design is much better for organization and because the materials are so cheap the bag feels lighter than my old one. RIP to my old bag and what this company used to be, what a waste of $160.
I ordered a used Chrome bag off of Mercari. I would like to give it a nice cleaning before I start using it. Any advice on what to use to clean it / how to clean it so I don't damage it?
I got a bag refunded under the lifetime warranty. Don't need it, just wondering...
