How do I measure my bike for a frame bag?
Measure the inside length of the top tube, the down tube and the seat tube, where the bag will sit. Also measure the gap along the head tube between the top tube and the down tube. If the tubes meet, that gap is 0. Send us those four lengths with your bike's make, model and year. A side-on photo of the whole bike helps us check the fit, and you can send it after you order.
What is the difference between a half frame bag and a full frame bag?
A half frame bag sits under the top tube and fills the top part of the frame triangle. A full frame bag fills the whole triangle, with two pockets or three.
Which fabrics can I choose?
600 denier poly is the standard: like Cordura without the brand, so it costs less and comes in lots of colours. 1000 denier Cordura is super strong and made to last, but a little heavier. Ecopak EPX200 is light, strong and waterproof: it's laminated, not spray lined like Cordura and poly. Every fabric works for any kind of riding.
Can I choose the colours?
Yes. Choose a colour for each panel and for the zip cover in the bag maker. You can also choose Surprise me and we choose them for you. The bag maker shows the colours we have in each fabric now, and we confirm them when you order.
Will the bag fit my bike?
Each bag is patterned from your frame's measurements, so it is made for that frame. We check your measurements before we cut.
How long does a frame bag take?
Each bag is made to order, usually in 2 to 4 weeks. If you have a trip coming up, get in touch before you order.
Do you ship, or can I pick up in Canmore?
We ship within Canada. Local pickup is also available in Canmore, Alberta.
Do you make custom bags?
Yes. We design and make one-off bags and sewn products for people and for businesses. Tell us what you need on the custom work page.
