Custom Frame Bags
Review frame bag options and follow the instructions to receive a perfectly sized custom frame bag for your bike.
Frame Bag Instructions
Step 1:
Bring bike outside into natural, bright light and onto a level surface.
Ensure the bike is standing completely vertical.
Step 2:
Attach a ruler or measuring tape to the frame of the bike.
Be careful not to obscure any corners or important edges.
If ordering a Half Frame Bag or Wedge Bag, attach the cage and
bottles that will be used.
If ordering a bolt on bag, back out the cage bolts so they are visible.
Step 3:
Stand at least 15ft. back from the bike. The further back the better.
Crouch down so the camera is level with the center of the frame.
Step 4:
Zoom in so the frame is near the edge of the picture.
Step 5:
Take a high-resolution image (preferably using a DSLR camera).
Zoom in on the image. The 1" ruler marks should be visible.
Step 6:
Email the image, along with your order #, to Stringbeanbags@gmail.com.
Frame Bag Attachments
Velcro
Velcro is the ideal attachment for those who want the most
straightforward way of securing a frame bag.
The major benefit of Velcro is that the frame bag
can be easily attached and removed.
Bolt On
Bolt on frame bags are attached using grommets that pair with the
bike frame’s water bottle mounts and other braze-ons. They help
lessen paint abrasion that is common with Velcro straps and
interact nicely with other accessory bags.
Lace Up
Lace up frame bags use loops and laces, similar to a shoe, to attach
to the bike frame. They are great for adjusting tension when
carrying different size loads.
Daisy Chain
A daisy chain is a strip of webbing that is sewn along the length of
the frame bag spine. The webbing is sectioned off so Velcro straps
can run underneath and wrap around the frame. Daisy chains
allow you to move the strap placement to work well with other bags
and mounts.
Frame Bag Additional Features
Map Pocket
A map pocket is a zippered pocket on the non-drive side of your
frame bag. Made using a YKK Aquaguard Zipper, these pockets
are perfect for low-profile items like maps, phones,
wallets, keys, and snacks.
Hydration Hose Port
A hydration hose port is an overlapped opening in the top of the
frame bag where the top tube meets the headtube. This allows
you to keep a water bladder in your frame bag and run the hose out
to your cockpit. It also works great for running wiring from batteries
out to your cockpit.
