I was using one of the BlackBurn frame bag on my road bike 😆. Great packability, but maybe a little bit heavy. Nevertheless, it managed to convince & made me a huge fan of frame bags!
nice video i am also a fan of full frame bags i have a revelate designs bag on my fargo and as you rightly say they have really great quality and unique versatility
can you make a video on how to pull out the rain jacket while riding and then while riding how to put it on and also wearing a back pack while riding because im a race rider so i dont have time to stop for 10 seconds
Thanks for the video! Just making my template for my Bridge Club! What was measured where it says 105mm, 95mm and 125mm? I really don‘t get it… 😅 Thanks!
I just recently bought a 2023 Surly Bridge Club in frame size Large I am curious what size frame your Bridge Club is because as you stated a cardboard template is required and needs to be sent to Alpkit i have decided after watching this video about 10 times that the bag you ordered is exactly what I was thinking of ordering so then if you have already sent in a template would it be possible to reference the size and configuration when I make an order to them I ? I have tried to send you an email but for some reason it doesn't seem to work thank you
Hello ! My frame is also Large. I configured the main part as two pockets with a horizontal openings, the size of the pockets was arbitrary, I divided them more or less at the middle. The fabric, I chose the only one available on that color (brown). I added a document pocket on the opposite side. I chose the widest option available at the time (if I’m not mistaken it’s 6cm) I think that’s all for the specs 🤓 I hope it helps !
Amazing timing! I was about to order one today and it was very helpful to get the q factor and bag width information. I've got SRAM force 1x with 145mm q factor so I'm guessing I probably can't go wider than a 5cm bag. Just curious how close did you make your cardboard template to the frame? Was it flush or did you leave a small gap? Also which fabric type did you pick?
I left one or two millimetres between the cardboard and the frame, I find that the fabric can “adapt” to small inaccuracies. The fabric is X11 mountain brown 🙌🏽
Hi, I’m actually on a 10 days tour now. I’m using a 2l “camelback” + a 1l bottle attached to the bottom of the diagonal tube. It works great. I see a lot of people doing that for off road cycling. For more traditional touring on long adventures maybe the “classic” configuration ( rear and front panniers + water inside the frame) is more practical… 🤔
Hi ! I can put a litter bottle under the diagonal tube + a 2L camel bag for long trips. For day rides I just put a bottle inside the framebag and I still have room for a jacket, an inner tube, etc…
I have a GT Peace rigid 29er which is about 10 years old. I put a water bottle handlebar clamp on the bike. The Revelate bag installed in the main triangle allows me to carry more water, and remove a jacket or leg warmers on those days when it's 45-50 degrees F in the morning, and increases to 65-70 degrees F by 10 or 11 in the morning. The GT only has one water bottle mount, so moving the water bottle to the handlebar was no loss in capacity, and now I can carry more water. I use this bike for multi-use paths and gravel riding, so the frame bag gives me more than enough room to carry what I need.

Thank. This was a great video and gave me a lot of information. I wish you well.

Thank you for the video! I am actually thinking of getting a full frame bag for my ride when doing BikePacking. 👌
Cool ! Glad it helps :)
i got a bag for $45 canadian from RNS it fits my tiny trek 7300fxdisc that doesn't have mounts for racks
can you make a video on how to pull out the rain jacket while riding and then while riding how to put it on and also wearing a back pack while riding because im a race rider so i dont have time to stop for 10 seconds

Hey, quelle surprise te trouvé sur youtube par hasard.
How wide is your custom frame bag. I'm torn betweem 50mm and 60mm. Thanks for any advice

looks like you are not doing long distance on this bike. But where do you keep the water bottles instead?

Very good and informative video. I’m currently considering buying a Stingray bag. Can you tell me what material the brown bag is?
Having now read the comments below, I can see that this has already been answered.
where do you put water when bikepacking?

I may be wrong but it seems to me that the handlebar is different from the video where you presented the bike; what model is it?
That’s right ! this one is a Surly Terminal, it’s lighter more comfortable than the Nitto I had before
@@bicyclepicnic it’s awesome
Pro: It's the latest fashion
Con: Does not provide the storage space for the inconvenience it offers
Bike is ugly
