Hello! The mesh pockets on the outside are large and deep enough to hold an iPhone securely. The mesh pockets are large enough to accommodate even larger iPhones. Thank you for your inquiry!
The bag's main body stands at 6 inches in height. A 2 is thrown in for good measure. Drawstring closure on a 25-inch tall ripstop nylon cover. The bag has a 4-inch diameter.
I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm confident it won't cause any steering issues. I'm not concerned about the weight of a large water bottle affecting the way the bike handles.
Yes, the strap that secures it to the stem is long enough to accommodate my 40mm. On the stem, the second bag would be doubled up over the first. Use the first bag loop to feed it through.

When I first got this bag, it was an upgrade from a bag that was similar but smaller and only had one compartment. For me, the purpose is analogous to the center console of a car. This device stores my sunglasses, keys, earbuds, and other personal items, as well as the occasional takeout latte while I'm out riding. It's perfect for this purpose, and I can fit a lot of stuff in it while still remaining reasonably organized. A small wallet, lights, a tiny cable lock, and a tube are included in addition to the items listed above. I've even stuffed a rolled-up windbreaker inside. Now for the bad news. br>br> I've been using it almost every day for about four months and it's starting to fall apart; I've stuffed it, but it's not even close to the weight of a full bottle as advertised. After a particularly muddy ride, I washed it in a lingerie bag on cold/delicate. This shouldn't cause seams to fall out, but it may have. I've misplaced my bottom strap- Fortunately, I'm able to sew and stitch a replacement together. And it's just a bit scruffy in general, with a few snags. I'll be on the lookout for a better-made (and likely more expensive) alternative. br>br>I'd still recommend it if you're a casual rider, know you won't get it dirty, and can repair it yourself. Just keep in mind that this isn't going to be a timeless bag.
UPDATE - After 1. br>br> After five seasons of riding with this stem bag, I can confidently say that it is well worth the investment. I went out and bought another one. It absorbs water better than Revelate / Oveja Negra bags made of heavy cordura in the rain. Furthermore, some of the stitching is beginning to come undone. However, keep in mind that this is a 50-percent chance of success. 60% less than expedition bags in price in price in price in% If you aren't doing both, you aren't getting the most out of your time. back a week- These will suffice as country rides. In some ways, they're even better - AMBIDEXTROUS is a word that comes to mind when I think of the word " When using Oveja Negra feedbags on either side, you lose access to the mesh pockets, and your bungie pull ends up in front or to the side, which is a major issue when using aerobars.
- br>br>I've only used this feed bag when the weather is moderately dry. I'm not sure how it'll fare in the rain. br>br>I had to give this a try because it was half the price of the Revelate Designs equivalent. So far, I can't think of anything I dislike about it. It's not quite as good as a Revelate product, but it's close. One- It's simple to open and close the door with your hands. Fits my 24-inch computer monitor perfectly. Water bottles up to 40 oz. are no problem. The lack of natural structure in a feed bag is a minor annoyance, but it is easily overcomeable. For structure and food storage, I sliced the top off an old Nalgene and stuffed it into the bag. br>br>So far, I've covered a couple hundred miles of gravel and logging roads with it. It's too early to tell how well it will hold up, but so far it's working well.
This easily mounts on any handlebar I've tried it on and holds 5-pounds. Internally, it can hold 6 Clif bars, a battery pack, a water bottle, or a can/bottle of beer. The mesh pouches on the outside can hold keys, chapstick, additional small snacks, gum, or your snack wrappers until you return to civilization. I was worried that because of the Velcro straps, I would take a hard fall and have to go back and retrieve it, but I haven't had any problems. br>br> I noticed some scuffing on my bike where this bag sits, so I used electrical tape to protect the paint on the frame where this bag will rub.
I was so pleased with the first stem bag that I purchased a second to replace a Lezyne stem bag. For my long-distance gravel bike rides and races, I use two stem bags. I like that I can bring extra snacks and hydration packs on the bike with me in these bags. They can hold a significant amount of weight. My cellphone is usually kept in the right bag for me. The cinch cords are simple to close with one hand, but they're a little more difficult to open. That's fine with me because it prevents my gear from being thrown around on big bumps. The lower straps are a good length and have an adjustable clip at the end. My only gripe (a minor one) is that the velcro straps connecting the atrach bag to the handlebars are a pain to use. When attempting to attach and adjust bags, they are a generic double-sided strap that catches on the bag material. In my opinion, the strap that goes around the handlebar is too wide. The straps, on the other hand, keep everything secure. During my last 100-mile race, they didn't move an inch. Last but not least, these bags are neither waterproof nor water resistant; if it rains, the contents of the bags will become wet. The bags have a drain hole in the bottom. Overall, I'm pleased with the performance of these stem bags.
These bags are currently the best-kept secrets in the bikepacking world. I understand that it is manufactured in China rather than the United States. I recently spent a lot of money on a tent and sleeping bag from Big Agnes, both of which were made in China. So, how do you plan to proceed?.
Someone said in a review that this product is on par with high-end products. one at the end/with a brand name As a result, I made the decision to buy it. Last week, I had the opportunity to try out gravel riding (which my friends would describe as more like mountain biking on a gravel bike). I rode for a long time on the bumpy surface, but the bag did not move. A tubeless tire plug kit and a camera could be stored in the pockets. When I stood up to pedal up the hill, it didn't get in the way of my knee. br>I'll definitely get a second one if I go on a longer bikepacking trip in the future!.
