FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the Restrap Frame Strap?
While Restrap does not specify a maximum weight capacity, the strap is designed to carry tools, tubes, and similar lightweight essentials securely. Avoid overloading it with excessively heavy items that could compromise stability or damage the strap.
Can I mount this strap on a carbon fiber frame?
Yes, the Restrap Frame Strap is compatible with carbon fiber frames. Ensure the frame tube is clean before mounting to prevent any abrasive damage. The Hypalon material provides a non-damaging grip.
How do I clean the frame strap?
Wipe the strap with a damp cloth. Avoid using strong detergents or abrasive materials. Allow it to air dry completely.
What does the lifetime guarantee cover?
The lifetime guarantee covers defects in materials or workmanship. If an issue arises due to manufacturing faults, Restrap will repair or replace the product at no cost.
Is the orange color coated or dyed?
The orange color is integral to the Hypalon material, designed for durability and resistance to fading, though extreme UV exposure may eventually cause some lightening.
What is the primary use case for this strap?
Its primary use is for carrying extra gear on a bicycle frame, such as tools, spare tubes, or lightweight bags, making it ideal for bikepacking, touring, or mountain biking.
Can I attach multiple items to one strap?
You can secure items beneath the strap itself, or use the strap to bundle items together. However, ensure that items are packed compactly and do not create excessive bulk or an unstable load.
Troubleshooting
Strap not holding securely
Ensure the frame tube is clean and dry. Re-tension the Velcro strap, pulling firmly to create a tight fit. If the item being carried is too large or heavy, it may cause the strap to slip.
Hypalon material feels stiff
This is normal for Hypalon due to its durability. The material will become more supple with use. Ensure it is properly tensioned during setup.
Color fading over time
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged extreme sun exposure can cause fading. Store the bike indoors when not in use to prolong color vibrancy. The functional integrity of the strap is not affected by minor fading.
