Product Information
Full details
The Ortlieb Fuel-Pack is designed for endurance cyclists and bike-packers who need instant, one-handed access to essential gear like smartphones, snacks, or power banks while on the move. Its primary benefit is the intuitive magnetic lid closure, which provides effortless entry without the hassle of zippers, though users should be mindful that the bag's 1-litre capacity is best suited for small items rather than bulky equipment.

FAQs
Is the Fuel-Pack 100% waterproof?
The material is waterproof and durable, but the magnetic closure is designed for quick access and may not be fully submersible.
Will this bag fit my bike?
It is designed to be universal; if your bike has a top tube, it can likely be mounted using the included rubber straps.
Can I use this on a carbon frame?
Yes, the bag is compatible with carbon frames and will not damage the finish when installed correctly.
What can I fit inside the 1L space?
It comfortably holds a modern smartphone, a portable power bank, several energy bars, or small tools like a multi-tool.
How do I route a charging cable?
Pass your charging cable through the designated rubber port located on the side of the bag near the head tube area.
Troubleshooting
The bag shifts or wobbles during pedaling.
Check the tension of the rubber straps. Ensure they are pulled tight and the bag is centered. If using bolt-on mounts, ensure screws are tightened securely.
The magnetic lid isn't staying closed.
Ensure the bag is not overstuffed, as an overly full bag can prevent the magnets from aligning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first determine if your frame supports direct bolt-on mounting via two M5 threaded holes on the top tube. If it does, align the bag and secure it using the provided screws. For frames without mounts, use the included perforated rubber straps to secure the bag to the top tube and headset spacer. The bag is safe for use on carbon frames. To care for your Fuel-Pack, clean it periodically with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove road grit and mud. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure the bag is completely dry before long-term storage to prevent mildew.
