To determine the best size for your bike frame:
1. Print the templates available in the "Why We Made This" section to determine which size will best fit your frame.
2. These templates are exactly the size of the bags and can be cut and fitted inside your frame to determine the fit.
3. These bags are designed to be stretched tight inside your frame at each of the 3 attachment points. If the bag can't be stretched tight this will make operating the zipper difficult. When in doubt, choose the size smaller.
