Which frame bag to buy for my bike?

Before knowing which bag to buy for your bike frame, there are a few recommendations to keep in mind. The most important thing is to know the measurements of the space available in the central triangle of the frame of your bike to make the most of it, and also always rely on a waterproof material that ensures that your load will be well protected. Always look for models that include zippers and elastic straps to ensure closure. The inclusion of reflective elements may also be of interest to you as it will help other drivers to see you in low visibility situations.

What size bike frame bag should I choose?

It will depend on two main factors: the type of route you are going to ride and the design of your bike. In the first case. This compartment is usually used to store large objects that you will not need on your route, but only when you reach your destination. These could be spare parts, tools, chargers, sleeping clothes, food, stoves, etc... Don't forget that the size will have a direct impact on the possibility of maintaining the correct balance.

Regarding the design, we clarify that you have to know what is the size of the triangle of the frame of your bike. Also, consider where the bottle cage is located and also the size of the usual water bottle so that the bag is not an obstacle that offers too much resistance, or if you can place the bottle cage on the fork, saddle and under the frame if you have anchors for it.

In the market you will find bags of various sizes. The universal ones usually fit well in all models, but we recommend that you choose a reference that has the exact size for the available space. In this way, you will avoid lateral displacement and other problems that may prevent you from riding normally. Specifically, we mean that the bag should not be in contact with the brake cable or other parts and that this may cause distraction during the ride. The smallest size is 1.5 liters and the largest is 6 liters. It is up to you to select the most suitable model.

As for the measurements in centimeters, the standard is between 20 and 30 centimeters high and 45 or 50 centimeters wide. The thickness is around five centimeters. Taking into account the variety of proposals, you should read the explanatory sheet of each reference very well to select the most appropriate in each case.

Remember that the use of these bags is not common on road bikes and mountain bikes, especially after the appearance of dual suspension.

How do I attach frame bags to my bike?

Everything will depend on the reference and capacity. Sometimes it is possible to install the bag above the frame, especially if it is small. Normally it is placed on the bottom in two different ways:

  • Using Velcro straps or the sturdy plastic straps that are built into the ends of the bags. You only have to adjust them well so that they do not wobble too much when you circulate. Measure the amount of items you are going to put in and make sure the bag stays securely in place.
  • With rigid silicone pieces that connect to the frame. They are clip-on type, so with light pressure, you will achieve your goal of attaching them to the frame.

We recommend that you try to distribute the weight of your belongings well and that you use a system to prevent them from moving to the sides. The internal division is essential to fix some elements and also to reduce the noise level while driving.

It is not a matter of carrying many objects on this part of the bicycle, as there are complementary options, such as saddlebags designed specifically for this purpose.
