FAQs
What does IPX6 rating mean?
IPX6 means the bag is protected against powerful jets of water. It can withstand heavy water spray from any direction.
Can I fit a smartphone inside?
Yes, it is designed to carry most standard smartphones along with other small essentials like keys and energy bars.
How do I clean the bag?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely.
Is the bag suitable for long-distance touring?
It's ideal for carrying immediate essentials on any ride, but its 1-litre capacity is generally too small for the bulk of supplies needed for long-distance touring.
Will the magnetic closure stay shut on bumpy roads?
The magnetic closure is designed for easy access and generally stays secure. For extremely rough terrain, it's advisable to test it on your typical routes.
Can I mount this bag on other parts of the bike?
The bag is specifically designed with Hypalon straps for mounting on the top tube and stem.
Troubleshooting
Bag shifts during ride
Ensure the Hypalon straps are tightened securely around the top tube and stem. Clean the mounting surfaces for better grip.
Magnetic closure not secure
Check for any debris obstructing the magnets. Ensure the lid is fully closed until it clicks.
Water ingress despite being waterproof
Inspect welded seams for damage. Ensure the bag is fully closed. While IPX6 rated, submersion is not recommended.
Bag doesn't fit well
Adjust strap positions on the top tube and stem. For very narrow or unusually shaped top tubes, compatibility may be limited.
