    Bag Hackers - Where do you get spare o-rings?

    I'd like to try a couple of bag hacks and I need probably 10-20 o-rings. TB doesn't sell then on the "Parts" page and everything I see on Amazon is either huge or a rubber gasket. Are there any bag hackers out there with a preferred source for o-rings?

    I haven't found any just like TB's, but I have some slightly smaller white ones I got on Amazon. They've been working well for me.
    I have a bunch of great bags. Favorite color combos include Aubergine/Island, Navy/Solar, Forest/UV, Original Halcyon/Wasabi, Cloud/Viridian... and now also Seapine/UV!

    I've fulfilled my dream of palindromic-colored nested bags! Navy/Ultraviolet Pilot with Aubergine/Island Side Effect inside: blue purple purple blue. Forest/UV A45 with Aubergine/Wasabi Co-Pilot inside: green purple purple green.

        I've purchased black o-rings on etsy. I've also seen them in sewing/knitting stores, but these are typically white or clear.
        Getting to the point with too many bags to list them all. Current daily carry is my Black Halcyon Zeitgeist with a Cobalt Cerylon 3DOC as my "purse"/

          I know from some TB video that the O rings are made of Delrin.

          I would call TB and ask them where they get their stuff, they might be willing to see you some too, at least give you a name to look into/search. Good luck.

            They sell the same size O-Rings at any fabric store in the notions section.

              Maybe the question is....how do we get them to put them on the "parts" page?

                I concur, would love to see TB offer black o-rings to purchase.
