I wouldn't put my faith in it for that purpose.
The inner loop is for storage, while the outer loop is for wrapping your cargo around your bike's top tube or down tube. Thanks!
This is something we strongly discourage. When the ROCKBAND is strapped to tubes with a larger diameter than saddle rails, it works best. Thanks!
Hello, Rockband has a width of three. 2cm. Thank you very much.
Selected User Reviews For Granite Rockband Mountain Bike Frame Carrier Strap for Tools and Inner Tubes
I've used this strap on a couple of rides and it's worked well so far. I have a tube, tire irons, and a CO2 cartridge attached to this strap. The trails I've been on have been rocky, and I've had to jump a few times. The strap held on to my belongings and did not move around on the bike's frame; simply place the tube against the frame to avoid scratches and to help hold everything in place. You'll want to use the inner strap to keep everything in place. The frame is encircled by the outer strap.
I went on a rocky 12-mile trail ride in Southern California. With my belongings, this strap was secured to the saddle. A tube, tire levers, and a CO2 cartridge were among the items I had with me. Installing it was a breeze. The best part is probably the quality: it's sturdy and has good grip/velcro. With the bike frame adapter attached to the saddle, I can even hang my mountain bike.
br>br>I hadn't considered securing the co2 cartridge and other items. Those are usually kept in a fanny pack under the seat. You could use several of these to strap yourself into the bike and finish a race if you were desperate. Breaking Away, a 1979 film, is a good example of this.
On Amazon, this accessory strap is the Mercedes of the accessory straps. I usually look for good enough for half the price, but this is excellent quality at full price (I believe retail is closer to $12 per item). It would be fantastic if they released a rockband lite version at some point, but I'm pleased with the results as they are. I decided to purchase a few more. They can slip on a tapered tube, so another suggestion I have is to try putting a piece of grippy tread on the inside of the strap to keep it from slipping. Otherwise, this is a good product.
It is significantly less expensive than other alternatives and performs admirably. It's what I use to transport a 27. My YT Jeffsy came equipped with a 5 tube, a crank brothers m19 tool, two tire levers, two co2 cartridges, and an inflator. Everything is neatly bundled in the inner strap, which is then wrapped around the downtube with plenty of velcro. Even when crashing and bouncing through rock gardens, the rubberized straps keep everything in place extremely well. It meets my expectations, especially for the price.
There are no frills or nonsense here. br>br>On my 2019 Trek Stache 7, I bought this to carry my innertube. That tube is a 29 and it is quite large. It can hold tire levers and a multi tool in addition to the tube if you re-use it. Roll the tube and properly pack it. The tube and whatever else you have are held in an inner loop (velcor), and the strap wraps around your bike frame. br>br>At the moment, I'm only using it to carry my tube, and it's great (I have a small pack that sits in a bottle cage that I'll review later), and the primary strap has a rubbery side to keep it from sliding up and down my top tube. I've taken it into some wooded singletrack on several occasions and have had no problems. If you're thinking about going without a pack, I highly recommend this.
I was able to secure a 27 with the Granite strap. A 5" tube, two 16g cO2 canisters, a mini tool, and a pair of mini tire levers are safely stored beneath my MTB's down tube. I was planning on spending more than $20 on a different brand, but I decided to give this one a try first, and I'm glad I did - It isn't cheap, but it isn't expensive either. The Granite strap does exactly what I want it to do, and it does it well.
Love it. It's sturdy enough to hold a tube, an inflator, and two tire irons. It would almost certainly be able to hold more CO2. When I ride, I don't always use a pack. So having a flat tire solution on the bike at all times is a good idea in case my tubeless sealant fails.
