Let’s make it perfect!
Fitting Instructions:
Setting the Stage
For the custom fit we will need a photo. An actual camera is the best way to get a good result; however, if all you have is a phone camera, we’ll try to make that work: (if you zoom in on the photo and can read the numbers on your tape measure that ought to work!)
Use the best quality and resolution settings on your camera.
Take your bike outside and put a tape measure/ruler/drywall square somewhere on the bike, either on the top tube or standing vertically in front of the frame.
Make sure you’re not covering up the interior lines of the frame so that I can get that perfect custom fit.
For Bolt-On
If you want a bolt-on framebag you’ll need to remove anything mounted to the bolts and unscrew the bolts halfway out of the frame.
If you have a top tube bag or anything else that straps to the frame and you want to integrate those straps, keep it mounted and make sure the straps are clearly visible.
Integrating the straps can help to clean up the overall look of the bag and minimize extraneous straps.
For Halfie
If you’re ordering a Halfie, throw the largest water bottles that you want to run in the cages so that we know how to fit the bag in the frame.
We highly recommend side-loading cages for all Halfies!
Picture Perfect
If you have followed the previous steps, you should be good to go!
Back up about 15’ from the bike and kneel down or use a tripod to make sure the camera is centered on the frame.
Make sure both tires are visible in the photo and snap a picture.
Ultimately, what we need to see is the chain stays, seat stays, and fork legs to appear as one stay or leg, like in the example photo! (That’ll tell us that the photo is nice and level with the frame and there won’t be any goofy angles when we go to pattern it.)
Ready to Go!
Once you have your photos, and it looks like the photo across, go ahead and email them to us! Make sure to include your name and order number.
We’ll let you know if we need something different from what you send.
