Full details
The Restrap Race Aero Bar Bag is a specialized storage solution designed for ultra-distance cyclists, audax riders, and triathletes who require aerodynamic efficiency without compromising gear capacity. Featuring a 7.0L capacity and a stable, hardshell mounting system, this bag allows for rapid access to essentials while maintaining a sleek profile on your aero bars. While it offers excellent stability and water resistance, users should note that the custom hardshell design requires careful adjustment during the initial setup to ensure a perfect fit with specific aero bar configurations.

FAQs
Can I use this bag on standard drop bars?
No, this bag is specifically engineered for aero bar configurations and requires the specific mounting points provided by those systems.
Is the drybag fully waterproof?
The drybag is highly water-resistant and designed to protect contents in heavy rain, though it should not be submerged.
Does the bag include the holster?
Yes, the product comes as a complete system including the hardshell holster and the removable 7L drybag.
How much weight can the bag hold?
While it is designed for lightweight race essentials, it comfortably holds up to 2-3kg of gear, depending on how balanced your load is.
Is the Fidlock buckle secure enough for rough gravel?
Yes, the Fidlock magnetic buckle is designed for high-vibration environments and provides a very strong, reliable closure.
Can I reach my bike computer with the bag installed?
Yes, the low-profile design is intended to sit below or between standard aero bar computer mounts, though placement may vary by cockpit model.
Troubleshooting
Bag feels loose on the aero bars
Re-tighten the Hypalon loops and ensure the hardshell is seated firmly against the frame of the bars.
Fidlock buckle is not engaging
Check for debris or grit in the magnetic mechanism and wipe clean; ensure the drybag is positioned correctly in the holster.
Rubbing against front tire
Verify that your bike has sufficient tire clearance and adjust the mounting height of the holster on the aero bars.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Requires initial setup time to dial in the fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread the adjustable Hypalon loops through your aero bars and tighten until the holster is rigid against the mount. Ensure the hardshell is aligned centrally to maintain bike handling balance. The 7.0L drybag is designed to slide easily into the holster and snap into place with the Fidlock buckle.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe the X21 technical outer shell with a damp cloth after rides to remove grit and mud.
- Do not machine wash; hand wash with mild soap if necessary.
- Ensure the drybag is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew buildup.
- Periodically check the Hypalon mounting points for any signs of wear if used in extreme environments.
