How to install the top tube bag on the bike

We often associate cycling with exercise, and forget that cycling can also be used for other tasks. From running errands, shopping for groceries and cycling to work, bicycles can help you complete all these tasks and make your life easier. Another advantage of using a bicycle is that it can carry different bags, especially on a bicycle. But in order to make it more convenient, the cyclist must learn how to install the top tube bag on the bicycle and make it safe before riding.

Many types of bags can be attached to the bike, but I recommend using the top tube bag for easy riding. It is small, does not tie your feet, and can carry the things that a cyclist needs when driving on the road. In this article, our team will show you how to install the top tube bag on the bike and how to install it safely. This process is a skill that cyclists must learn to ensure that the bag is properly connected to the frame and does not fall over while riding.

Two ways to install the upper tube package

Generally speaking, there are two ways to install the top tube bag on the bicycle: the strap system and the snap-in “base” method. Most cyclists know the strap system, especially the Velcro type, which is probably the easiest way to identify the strap system. Regarding the click-and-click method of “docking”, I can say that there are many benefits to using it, mainly to keep it nice and tidy. This method can also hold the bag a little further away, preventing the thighs from accidentally rubbing into the bag.

However, in addition to being expensive, this method can also cause discomfort if you own a lot of bicycles. The process of installing the mounting hardware into the bike takes some time and should feel uncomfortable when you continue to transfer. But I will leave the decision to you, whether you choose the Velcro system or the click-dock method.

How to connect a saddle bag with the Velcro system

One of the most popular and economical ways to connect the upper tube bag is through the Velcro system. I mean, saddle bags with Velcro strap systems are affordable compared to the click base method. And it is also easy to install on the bicycle seat. Please check the following:

1.The first step is to check your saddle bag and check the number of Velcro straps on it. Usually, it has two Velcro straps for fixing the bicycle rails, and the other one is fixed on the bicycle column.
2. The next step is to attach the longer Velcro strap to the bicycle rail, starting from the left, then to the right, and then insert it into the “D” ring.
3.After inserting the “D” ring, you need to tighten it. This step is critical because it can determine the quality of the connection between the saddle bag and the bicycle seat.
4. The next step is to attach the shorter Velcro strap to the bicycle seatpost. Similarly, you need to fasten the Velcro firmly to provide extra security for your saddle bag.
5. After installation, you can check the quality of the accessories by trial ride.

Other tips when attaching a tube package

“The more the better” does not apply to the use of the top tube bag on the bicycle. Using a large upper tube bag will only encourage you to bring more things, bring you more weight and more discomfort. I recommend using a small saddle bag and travel lights. You don’t need to bring more equipment, just the necessities you need during the journey.

Learning how to install a saddle bag on a bicycle is a basic skill that a cyclist must master. If you know how to properly install and position your saddle bag and keep it safe at all times, it will have many positive effects. The top tube bag can carry the necessities and necessities you need during the journey, which means that it is very important to secure it properly

Why bicycle handling is important
Obviously, good bicycle handling skills are the most important for keeping the rubber side down. But staying upright is only one of the benefits. Excellent handling skills are essential to maintain your position in the backpack and move forward. You can make smooth corners and save a little energy every time you turn. At the end of a road race, Grand Prix or standard race, this energy accumulates and adds a lot of energy.

Improve your performance with a structured bike training plan, apps that analyze your progress, and professional coaches who answer your training questions.

Start
This is a list of the skills you need and how to obtain them. Each of the following sections can be the entire article itself. For the purpose of this article, I will briefly describe each skill and provide links to more detailed articles on this site where possible, focusing on specific skills.

Corner
Every time you lose power in a corner, you have to expend energy to make it stand up again. This is one of the main reasons why the rider is separated from the backpack. Over time, even the strong rider will be exhausted from all the short accelerations and return to the steering wheel. To improve your turn, read this in-depth article and keep the following points in mind:

Look where you want to go from the corner. Your bike is whatever you want, so don’t look down at the front wheels or potholes you want to miss.

Focus your weight or pressure on the outer foot (which should be facing down) and the inner arm. The pressure on the outer foot is your traction, and the pressure on the inner arm is the trajectory of the turn. If you need to reduce the turning radius (the turn is sharper), apply more pressure to the inner arm to tilt the bike to the inside.

In a bag, let a small gap open when you enter a corner instead of letting the gap open at the exit. In other words, if you drift into the corner and maintain more power than the driver in front of you, you will pull closer and get out of the steering wheel when you pass the turn, hoping that you don’t need that much high-power acceleration.

If the corner is wet, bumpy, or you are on an unstable road, keep the bike upright. The more you lean, the further away your center of gravity will be from the contact surface of the tire. When traction is low, you want the center of gravity to be close to the centerline.

Descending
Having good cornering skills covers most of what you need for good downhill skills; the speed is just higher. This is a detailed article about descending order. Turning by turning is a more suitable turning technique for descent. The important thing to remember is that before starting to turn to the apex of the corner, start wide and apply most of the braking. Another trick to help cyclists gain confidence is to keep their eyes away from the road. At a speed of 40 miles per hour, you cover the distance of a football field (100 yards) every 5.1 seconds. Corners, rocks, potholes, etc. come so fast, you must choose the route as soon as possible.

Move up in a group
When it comes to moving up in a group, it is difficult to adapt between two riders riding side by side. Likewise, moving out of the group and accelerating in the wind requires a lot of energy. Moving diagonally is the most effective way to advance. To move diagonally between riders, you must place the handlebar in front of the rider next to you. Your bar is in front of them, and you can decide where you two go.

 

If space is tight, use a slightly abducted elbow to protect your handlebars or leave a little space for your shoulders. This is different from checking the rider next to him with the elbow or shoulder. Don’t do that. Likewise, you never have to remove your hands from the handlebars to pass through large forces. It is dangerous to move people with your hands, which will expose your lack of riding skills. The only time you should put your hands on the rider’s shoulder or hip is to prevent a crash.

Riding on the pace line
A good pace line embodies the concept of teamwork and the team is superior to the sum of its parts. This is an entire article dedicated to the introduction of tracing techniques. The important things to remember are:

When it’s your turn to pull, keep the speed of the group. If you increase or decrease the speed sharply, the effect will increase as it returns to the entire group.

You don’t have to pull at the same time as the previous rider. Pull shorter at the speed of the group, rather than slow down to stretch longer. Likewise, if you are strong, pull longer, not faster.

Pull into the wind. If the wind blows from the left, the pace line rotates to the left (counterclockwise). If the wind is blowing from the right, pull it to the right. In the double pace line (2×2), each rider pulls to his/her side, and then a group rides between them.

Save something to start over. You will have to accelerate from the recovery line to the traction line, so don’t pull too hard, you have nothing to start over.
