Tim Heuermann — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:56:43 +0000

Waterproof fork bag with roll top closure! Fast, faster, Fork-Pack with Quick-Lock S adapter system. The all-new innovative adapter system is ideal for attaching bags like the waterproof Fork-Pack to the fork of your bike. Weighing just 290 grams (for the 4.1 L size, 315 grams in the 5.8 L size), the fork pack offers approximately 4.1 L or 5.8 L of additional storage space for bike packing. With the help of the QLS adapter (included), this ultra-light bag with roll closure can be mounted on forks with eyelets or cage mounts intended for this purpose, as well as on forks without cage mounts, as long as the fork blades sport a constant diameter of 30 mm to 42 mm. The Fork-Pack (190 grams) can easily and quickly be attached and removed from the adapter plate (85 grams) with just one hand in seconds. The nylon bag is abrasion-resistant, PVC-free and, of course, sustainably made in Germany. The maximum load is 3kg / 6.6 lbs.

Super Straps

Tim Heuermann — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:55:08 +0000

TitanStraps are equally adept at securing loads in Arizona’s blistering summer heat or the typical sub-zero temperatures found in the far reaches of Alaska in January. Remaining supple in extreme temperatures and climates, TitanStraps are made from a stretchy, high performance polymer that’s been injected with a 10-year UV additive for extra longevity. A polished, heat-treated aircraft aluminum buckle is over-molded in the manufacturing process for bombproof strength. Simple in design, high in function, you’ll find hundreds of uses for TitanStraps – from securing loads on bicycles, motorcycles, panniers, PVC pipe, rebar, tools and 2 x 4’s on a lumber rack to bundling hoses to organizing items in your garage. TitanStraps offer excellent adjustability and can be ‘daisy-chained’ together for extra length. When the mercury drops, you’ll appreciate the aggressive pull-tab for use with winter gloves or mittens and our straps can easily be ‘quick released’ with one hand. In addition, the straps are non-marring so you don’t have to worry about scuffmarks on your vehicle. The high-visibility strap doesn’t use hooks, making them safer than typical bungee cords. Straps sold seperately. Working load limit: 60lbs /27.2kg

Revelate Mag-Tank

Tim Heuermann — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:54:46 +0000

A new twist on atop tube bags. Instead of a zippered opening, access to the bag is by a smartly contoured top flap held in place by a magnetic buckle with mechanical engagement.

Interior lined with yellow fabric for greater visibility
Adjustable height daisy chain front attachment with a spacer block to clear stem clamp bolts

Revelate Spinelock 16L

Tim Heuermann — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:54:46 +0000

Revelate set out to create the most stable, low profile mounted, feature loaded, waterproof seat bag available. The Spinelock integrates user tested and approved features like a one-way air purge valve, rear light slots, loop and bungee deck, and an external plastic bottom with a new patented attachment system. Stability was the driving element in the design process. If you want something you can pack and forget, the Spinelock is your seat bag. How it works: The Spinelock stability system consists of three components: the saddle clamp, seat bag mounted “Spine” baseplate, and pin. A low profile, high strength, forged aluminum clamp works in combination with precision IGUS bushings to form the pin interface. Twin forged upper arms, fastened by Torx-25 bolts, rotate into position above the saddle rails for easy mounting. Resembling a spine ramp familiar to skateboarders, the “Spine” baseplate is made of an impact resistant UV-stabilized nylon and is integrated to the seat bag surface. The plate features two mounting positions to accommodate seatpost setback and saddle adjustments. To connect the bag, you simply line up your selected mounting position to the seat mounted clamp and slide the pin through the aligned holes. Attaching the side compression straps to the wings of the clamp fixes the pin in place and you’re ready to ride! Note: Traditional saddle style rails are required. Does not work with most Brooks saddles. The Spinelock 16L requires 9.5″/24 cm tire clearance and 6.5″/16.4 cm exposed seat post (see our 4th product image to ensure compatibility).

Revelate Egress Handlebar Bag

Tim Heuermann — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:54:25 +0000

The Egress™ Pocket is a waterproof, seam-welded roll top handlebar bag. It integrates with the Sweetroll and Harness, or can be used standalone on the handlebars with the included strap kit. The side profile of the Egress™ is curved slightly to contour around the main drybag so the bags nest well when the straps are tightened. This bag was built with the distance traveler in mind. It features a removable padded liner, giving you the option to protect electronics when the bag is removed and dropped at camp. The liner also features a small zippered pocket.

On the outside, the Egress™ has a small carry handle and D-rings to attach a minimalist shoulder strap (included), making it a versatile travel companion. A jacket or extra layer can then be stored in the straps that typically attach it to the Sweetroll & Harness. Lastly, you can even run your belt through a series of webbing slots turning it into a hip pack. The webbing and hook closure with high cycle life velcro make for a secure and durable closure.
