Hi,

 Will a relevate seat bag fit small specialized stumphumper carbon 29er?  I am looking to purchase this bike within the next couple hours on ebay, so I know I have to be really lucky to find someone who knows.

Thanks.

Which bike(there are 2) Which bag (there are 2) how far does your seatpost stick up?

Probably not. It depends on how high your seatpost sticks out of the frame. Is it the hardtail or FSR (full-suspension) Stumpy? If it's the fully you will need to account for suspension travel.

Which Revelate bag are you asking about?

The Viscacha lists a minimum of 8" from the saddle rails to tire top. Pika is 1.5" shorter, so maybe 6.5"?

If it is the FSR it probably has a seat-dropper post which you would most
likely need to leave fully elongated while the bag was installed (or swap
a conventional seat post in for the bikepacking configuration with the bag).

Hard to imagine needing to run a seat so low on a hardtail that there wouldn't
be enough room for the bag's wraparound on the seat post (and tire clearance),
but, you never really know until you try Smiley

You can run the Pika on a dropper post, you just won't be able to drop the seat all the way.

The OP was asking about a size Small 29er, on those the seat tube ends about level with the wheel, or even slightly below, so unless you have a lot of seatpost sticking up, you might run out of tire clearance.
I usually have the opposite problem ;-)

It's a hardtail.  I have the larger bag.  I had the shop where I tried the bike yesterday measure the seat height based on my current bike.  It's 8 inches above, so it would be close.  Thanks all for your help!

Anyone else, feel free to post advice.  Thanks!

Ha!!!  So much for spell check working on that word, huh?   

 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=200788534617

So, I waited too long and couldn't get into my PayPal account, but I contacted the seller to let him know.  We did a private sale, so we negotiated price and I paid through PayPal.   Expected delivery is Wednesday.  He seemed legit, so we took the risk thanks to PayPal and credit card guarantees.
