The Apidura 1.2L Expedition Downtube Pack is an outstanding solution for cyclists who need extra storage on their bikes without accessory mounts. This pack is specifically crafted to be attached securely underneath the bike's downtube. It can also be fastened to tubes of similar diameters, offering a flexible and compressible space to store spare parts and essential items for long - distance rides. It's incredibly versatile; with enough room to hold a 710ml water bottle, it serves as a practical bottle - holder for bikes with limited bottle storage in the main triangle. The single - motion Velcro attachment system makes it a breeze to mount the pack on tubes of different diameters. Coupled with a stability system, it stays firmly in place, providing you with peace of mind during your journey. The pack's waterproof, seam - welded construction is a game - changer. It keeps your belongings clean and dry, no matter the weather conditions. It also features reflective exterior graphics, which enhance your visibility on the road, adding an extra layer of safety. For easy access, there's a pull tab at the base, and it has a roll - down closure. However, it's important to note that we don't recommend mounting this pack on tubes with a circumference of less than 9.5cm, like seat stays and forks. The Expedition Series, to which this pack belongs, is made for road riding and long - distance tours. It's constructed from a lightweight material that offers top - notch waterproofing and protection against harsh conditions. The pack is cut from a three - layer laminate fabric developed especially for Apidura. This material is not only lightweight but also highly resistant to tears and abrasions. The welded seams create a watertight seal, ensuring the pack remains completely waterproof.
Using the Apidura 1.2L Expedition Downtube Pack is easy. First, find a tube on your bike with a circumference between 12 - 18cm. The downtube is a great spot, but other tubes of similar diameter will work too. Use the single - motion Velcro attachment to secure the pack to the tube. Make sure to use the stability system for added security. You can store spare parts, long - distance essentials, or even a 710ml water bottle inside. When you need to access your items, simply use the pull tab at the base. Remember, do not mount the pack on tubes with a circumference of less than 9.5cm, such as seat stays and forks. To maintain the pack, keep it clean after each use. If it gets wet, let it dry completely before storing it. Since it's waterproof, you don't have to worry too much about water damage, but avoid sharp objects that could tear the highly resistant three - layer laminate fabric.
