Custom Frame Bags Instructions
Please mail us your custom frame bag template as soon as you have placed your order. The shipping order is based on template received, not order placed - first in, first out.
Please include your name, address, email address, bike make, model and size on the cardboard triangle.
Step 1 - Set Up
Rough cut a piece of cardboard, or very stiff paper like poster board, so that it’s slightly bigger than the triangle of your frame. Use tape to attach the card board behind your frame.
Step 2 - Measure / Trace
Use a fine tipped marker to trace a line on the inside edge of your frame tubes; you will need to angle the marker to get as close to the true tubing limits and as far into the corners as possible. Remove the cardboard and cut out the shape of your frame bag carefully using sharp scissors, utility or an exacto knife.
Step 3 - Check Trace
After cutting, insert the cardboard triangle into your frame to make sure that it fits. We will make your frame bag solely based on the triangle size template you send us, take care in making sure the size is right.
Step 4 - Mark Obstructions
To help us design the best attachment system please mark any cable stops (CS) or water bottle cage (WB) mounts on the inside and outside of the frame, top or bottom of the tube and note whether your cables are internally routed or not. If have a front derailleur mark where the top of the front derailleur (FD) attaches with a dashed line. If you have a top tube bag or bags that you intend to use, please mount those on your frame and mark where the straps are located so we make sure they work together.
Use a flexible measuring tape, or a piece of string and a regular measuring tape, find the circumference of your frame tubes and write it inside the triangle on the edge it represents, please do this for all three tubes. We will make the straps a bit longer than needed so that you can trim them down with scissors.
AGAIN.... Please mark the following:
WB - Water Bottle braze-on, CS - Cable stop, FD - Front derailleur
If you have preferred zipper locations please mark these on the template as well
Step 5 - Take pictures
Please take a couple of pictures of the inner triangle of your frame with the template in place. Additionally please take a picture of all the obstructions listed on the template above.
