I really like my MC3 micro cart but I'm thinking the 4-wheel design is not for me. As I said in another thread in this section, if my bag rotates a little the pockets will drag on the wheels; very annoying. In the 3-wheel design I don't think it's possibly to have this problem.

Although I'm thinking of purchasing the C130 bag (not sure on stand vs cart yet... thinking maybe stand bag now). That may alleviate the problem entirely.

You can widen the front wheels on my Micro-cart. I like that the four wheel design folds much smaller.

Woah. If this is true, then then may be a game changer! I actually just looked up which one I bought, the product I bought, per the page on rockbottomgolf is the "Sun Mountain Golf Micro-Cart Sport Push Cart." It's 4-wheels. It may not actually the MC-3? I'll check it out when I get home later this evening.

I voted for the Four5 bag. I currently have a 6 way/divider bag which I like a lot. I would have went with the 3Five but having only 4 dividers does not seem like it would be enough so I opted for having more instead of less. Really wish they had a six way though. Didn't vote for the push cart because I prefer to carry, pushing always seemed to mess with my stride/gait causing some knee pain.

If there are Allen key bolts under the front axle, then it should be adjustable.

I found two allen bolts next to the front wheels on both sides. I took one out and could not budge them for the life of me. I actually have no idea what the purpose is for these bolts if not to adjust the axle width? But mine wouldn't budge, I can tell you that... maybe I should take a picture and see what you guys think?

I did go ahead and buy the C130 bag. Golfsmith had a $30 on Sun Mountain cart bag specifically and I knew I would either be buying the C130 or the Tour Series cart bag (was a closeout deal on budget golf for 199). The C130 was 220 but I was getting my putter re-gripped anyways which came out to almost exactly $30 so I bought the bag and immediately used the gift card :)

I'm extremely pleased with the bag as a whole. I definitely do not have the same problem with the side pockets dragging.

However, There is this weird heavy-duty stitched cloth "loop" on the base of the bag that sticks out sideways. It rubs against the inside of the wheel unless the bag is juuuuust right :cry:what's this loop thing for? I'll take a picture later tonight if nobody knows what I'm talking about. Is it maybe for a longer bag strap or something? Should I just cut it off? Is there a cool purpose behind it that I don't even know about? :-D

Edit: of I forgot to mention. I checked out the MC3 cart while at Golfsmith. Wow! What a great cart. Mine is definitely not an MC3. It was a whole level of quality above mine in terms of materials. Mine is actually labeled as "sport." It looks identical to the MC3 in terms of the layout of the cart but appears either an older model or a more barebones (cheaper materials) model. It looked slightly larger too. I could put my bag on there with zero issues whereas on mine it's a little tight.

ZG............ if you carry this is the bag for you. The belt even acts like a lower back brace. The first one I bought used and have had the second one a couple of years now, and am looking to get a 2015 model as a backup. I did replace the belt with a weight lifters belt because it's Velcro and more convenient and faster for me. I do have a Clicgear hand cart but don't use it anymore.

There is a sun mountain bag that has an excellent strap that looks like a back-pack strap. It provided a LOT more support for carrying it. Unfortunately my C130 did not come with that fancy strap. It was reallllly comfortable, I could easily see myself carrying even my cart bag with that strap.

Anyone know where to get these and how to affix them to the C130 cart bag?

If you are not talking about the Zero Gravity (ZG) bag, the one with the waist belt, then I'm not sure about the strap system you are talking about. However I'm retired and walk everyday, so I will look into the strap system you mentioned.

I picked the Speed Cart V1 (I use a Cliq Gear though) and would be the SM cart I'd choose. I have the C130 stand bag - great bag with lots of room like a cart bag, and the 14 way dividers are the way to go for sure. 

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

You forgot a bag and the bag I have so therefore I can't vote. I Have the H2NO and love it with the MC3 Push-Cart and I love it... 

So Erik put the H2NO bag in the choices and I'll vote.

I have the same bag and it's great, except for the rain cover, which I find a little tight. It's okay, but just gives me an uneasy feeling and it is tricky to access all the clubs.

One complaint I have about the C130 cart bag is that it doesn't have a hook-and-loop (Velcro) section to slap my glove on. As silly as it sounds... this is kind of irritating to me. 

I'll be sewing one on in the near future.

I voted for the C130 bag.  I really like the design (cart bag, but with straps/stand).  The vast majority of my rounds are either using a push cart or a riding cart, but it's nice to have for the range or the rare occasion that I walk.  I like 14-way dividers, so there was only one other bag that I'd buy (Four 5).

Semi-resurrecting this thread since I just purchased a Sun Mountan X-One cart bag.  I ended up going with that over the C130 due to the more streamlined size (I don't carry much stuff, and the big cart bags always seem sort of dorky to me) and lighter weight.  The only feature I'm disappointed about missing is the pass-through cart strap, but it wasn't worth the increased size just for that.

I'm looking forward to having a bag that doesn't twist and turn in my riding cart.

Just saw these but apparently they’ve been out since 2018…pretty cool for guys that walk a lot. It’s a bag built onto the cart as a single unit. No straps loosening up or bag twisting on the cart.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
