Wzrd Bikes offers up one of the most minimal handlebar bag supports we’ve seen. The Wzrd Bar Bag Supports are designed to take up a minimal amount of space under your stem. This small but strong bag support will help keep your cables unsquashed, and your paint looking mint. No more head tube rub! This bag support is for smaller bags – burrito bags and similar compact bags. Don’t drop a honker roll top bag on these lil cuties.

A horizontal zip tie through your bag’s webbing allows for quick and easy installation and removal. No need to clip the zip tie if swapping between bikes!

The Bar Bag Supports come in two lengths:

• Short – 40-80mm stems
• Long – 90-130mm stems

100% made in Canada, in stock, and shipping to the USA at Wzrd Bikes.

Bicycle bag brand Swift Industries launches its debut textile in a stunning print collection, marking a seminal moment in the indy brand’s 18 years in business.

Swift Industries is known for defying masculine stereotypes in sport, cycling, adventure culture, and business. Luminary is yet another rebellious emphasis on wonder, joy, and delight from the woman-run gear brand.

Everyone had an opinion about the Trek CheckOUT full-suspension gravel bike we reviewed last week. Some of those opinions were just about its paint job and matching Topo Designs custom full-frame bag. And today, Trek doubled down on the divisive color scheme by adding it as an option on their Checkmate SLR gravel race bike through their Project One program. Project One bikes are essentially custom builds that allow the customer to pick their parts, and of course, pick their color from an array of unique schemes not available on off-the-shelf builds.

Strapping a dry bag, particularly an ultralight stuff sack, to your rack can develop holes over time. Asheville, North Carolina’s Rockgeist has a solution: the universal Armadillo dry bag protector ($29.95)…

Bolt-on frame bags are pretty sweet. They’re secure, reduce frame rub and wear, and offer a clean mounting aesthetic for your bags.

John’s been using them for a month on his Cotic FlareMax, and they’ve remained tight and rattle-free. Let’s check them out…
