Our Middle Earth Jammer was built around the everyday commuter. From road bikes to gravel bikes, this bag was made to traverse. Use it as your go-to commuting bag, then take off to the mountains for a quick overnighter. Maxing out at 19L, this bag is more significant than it seems! Load it up with the essentials and use the cargo straps (included) to strap even more on top.
Specs:
Height: 8"- 19" Width: 12" Depth: 6”
Max Waterproof Volume: 19L
Min Waterproof Volume: 10L Weight: 1.5lb
Clearance Requirements: 10-12" measured from the top of the handlebars to the top of the tire. Rear clearance should be measured from the saddle rail to the top of the tire. If you have under 12", please keep the front pockets empty or filled with flat items, as they will likely rub the tire.
Max load limit: 25 lbs. Respect your bag, and it will continue to give for years. Please see our warranty page for more info.
Notions: Mil-Spec Nylon Webbing, Hook and Loop Velcro
Installation Guide:
*Please be mindful and avoid mounting the bag against cables and housing. With this in mind, the Jammers may not be compatible with cantilever brakes without a rack.
Use the 550 parachute cord loops at the top to attach with our Universal Shoulder Strap. Carry it off of the bike with ease and style!

About our C.W.S.
The Anywhere Bikepacking Panniers use a roll-top closure and dual vertical adjusting straps. We call this our C.W.S.: Closure Webbing System. The C.W.S. creates a 4-point compression (as shown in the photos above) and works to keep the bag cinched tight and give it the 4th mounting point (around the top or side rails of your rack), which then eliminates any sway and sag there may be when loaded. Next, remove the webbing strap from the D-rings, re-string the webbing around the point of interest, then back to the bottom D-ring and up to the roll-top closure buckle.

I searched for a long time for a bag that meets multiple use cases and looked good on my sliver-gray steel all-around bike, and I found it in the middle earth.
I wanted a bag that can stay on my all-around bike on the handle bar or sometimes the rear rack for a wide range of uses:
- About town: a place to pack my purse + jacket - with expansion space to pick up groceries
- Working at coffee shops: purse + iPad or 13" Macbook
- Weekend day tours: space for a camera in a bag, extra clothes, larger tool kit/medical kit, snacks
The middle earth does all that--although for a big grocery run it needs to move to the rear rack (big = 1/2 gallon milk, two big things of yoghurt, 12 eggs, two containers of berries).
This is not a bag that's easy on/off the bike (I have another one for my ebike that's much quicker)--but because it's a bit tricky to remove I don't mind leaving it on there and just taking out the contents when I go into a store.
The one challenge I still have: my handlebar mounted light won't work unless I make the bag as small as it can be. I might end up buying a braze-on mounted stub so I can move it if I really need light for night rides. (The flashy works great during the day on the front of the bag, though.)

Perfect Expandable/Collapsible Med. Sized Bag
The perfect medium sized rack-less bag. I bought this bag to complement my Velo Orange Biggish Bag (also made by Road Runner). The sizing on my Middle Earth Jammer ran large which is perfect. The expandable/collapsible volume makes it perfect for carrying a variety of items, including those bulky ones. Looking forward to many more years with this well-crafted bag!

Best Handlebar Bag for Commuter
This bag has room in depth and width to carry my computer and some goodies without adding too much weight. This bag alleviates the sweaty back effect when riding with a backpack. When I called Road Runner, the team member was knowledgeable and friendly. She was also willing to do a custom order! RAD!!! After using the bag for a week, it is clear that this bag can handle rain and salty air. For those will short bars, this is not your bag. Also, if you have longer bars, you might want to invest in a foam spacer kit. The bag takes a lot of real estate on the bar. There are some sweet little easily-accessible front pockets that are great for carry those tiny essentials, like a credit card and cash for that cool coffee shop on your route to work.
The bag quality is durable and waterproof. The straps are smart with several attachment points. The buckles and connectors are top notch. I can't wait to order more bags!!!

Perfect
I was looking for a handlebar bag to use on a multi-day bike tour, and wanted something that was easily put on and off the bike (vs the widely used Ortlieb handlebar bags). I found the Jumbo Jammer during a random internet search, and decided to go with the slightly smaller Middle Earth size. The bag is awesome! It worked perfectly on my folding bike (Bike Friday) and it doubled as my smaller carry-on for the flight. I encountered a few deluge downpours and not a drop of water got in. Everything about this bag is perfect: Construction, size, function. Just get yourself one!

Love it, but no room for my hands
Love the MEJ, but it takes away my hand position on the tops of my drop bars. Maybe if RR provided foam spacers with longer straps?
