Troubleshooting
Bag shifts during ride
Ensure all straps are tightened securely and evenly. Check that the bag is positioned correctly on the frame tubes and not interfering with other components.
Water ingress despite being 'waterproof'
Verify that zippers are fully closed. Check for any damage to the TPU material or seams. For extreme conditions, consider using dry bags inside for critical items.
Straps are too short for frame

Zipper is stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean the zipper teeth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
