Subject: Bento Box/Spare Tire Box for wide frame?
Someone posted a brand on here recently, but I can't find the thread. I have a Specialized Tri bike with a thicker frame. Most bento noxes have narrow straps. Can anyone suggest a brand with wider straps on a bento box and spare tube box?

The straps on the the Rocket Pocket (and the XL version) by XLab are very long and I would imagine fit around any frame (they are so long I cut off some material to make it easier to install).  I have both the regular and the XL version.  Nice quality bags.  XLab also has a square shaped bag like a traditional bento box that looks from pictures to share the extra long straps of the rocket pocket.

+1.  I'm a big fan.  Bought the Speedpack 480D for my Shiv and it's been great.  Can also install on my road bike for century rides.  Big improvement over my Bento Box.

I got the Rocket Pocket and it is a great bag.

Just this morning it was holding my black berry and telephone while I rode the trainer!

When you say thicker, do you mean a thicker top tube, like on the Specialized Transition? Is that that bike you have?
