FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the pouch?
The Brompton Metro Zip Pouch XB measures approximately 18cm (length) x 13cm (height) x 4.5cm (depth).
Can this pouch fit a water bottle?
Due to its compact dimensions, it is not designed to fit a standard water bottle. It's best suited for smaller essentials like a phone, wallet, keys, and a spare tube or multi-tool.
Is the pouch completely waterproof?
The pouch is water-resistant due to its 600D cyclePET with wax coating and 1500mm PU coating. It can withstand light rain, but it is not fully submersible or waterproof for heavy downpours.
How does the magnetic attachment work?
A concealed magnet within the pouch allows it to attach securely to compatible steel handlebar stems or steel seat posts, providing an extra point of stability.
Can I use this pouch on any bike, not just a Brompton?
Yes, while designed with Brompton in mind, the Velcro strap system allows it to be attached to the handlebars or seat post of most bicycles.
What material is the pouch made from?
The main body is made of 600D cyclePET with a wax coating and a 1500mm PU coating, and it features a 210D nylon lining.
Does it come with a shoulder strap?
Yes, the Metro Zip Pouch XB includes a detachable shoulder strap for convenient carrying when you're not cycling.
Troubleshooting
Pouch feels loose on handlebars/seat post
Ensure the two Velcro straps are tightened securely. Check if the concealed magnet is properly aligned with a compatible steel surface for added stability.
Water seeping into the pouch
Verify that zippers are fully closed. For extended exposure to heavy rain, consider placing sensitive items in a waterproof bag inside the pouch. Reapply wax coating if the material seems less water-repellent.
Velcro straps losing grip
Clean the Velcro hooks and loops with a small brush to remove debris. If wear is significant, consider replacement straps or a more permanent attachment method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the pouch, loop the two Velcro straps around your handlebar stem or seat post. Ensure the straps are tight for stability. For enhanced security on compatible steel components, align the concealed magnet with the steel surface. The pouch is designed to be compatible with all Brompton handlebar types.
Compatibility: The magnetic attachment is specifically for steel handlebar stems or steel seat posts. The Velcro straps offer broader compatibility with most handlebar and seat post diameters.
