Installation
FIT-CHECK
Handlebar width compatibility: 30cm width
Step 1: Measure the spacing of your handlebars, inside-to-inside, at the hoods.
Step 2: If you have integrated shifting, enlist a friend to engage the levers fully into the center space between the bars, and measure the space from tip-to-tip.
Clearance (height) specs for use at the handlebars and on the saddle
You’ll need a minimum of 10” (25.5cm) of space between your bicycle handlebars and the top of your front or rear tire to use the Catalyst Pack without a support or rack. Keep in mind that a weighted down pack may sag into the wheel, and pay attention to avoid abrasion.
With a rack: As little as 6.5″ (16.5cm) of clearance is required to run the Catalyst Pack on the front with a Carradice Universal Bar Rack. Note that the Carradice Bagman Support is not compatible with the Catalyst Pack.

This is the pack that holds it all for the daily fun! Easy to attach to the bars, love the flat zipper pocket on the top for cash and lip balm, and the main compartment is big enough to hold a burrito, wind layer, bike lock, kula cloth, and sandals. It's secure enough to survive the bounces of the downhill and stylish enough that I get complements at the cafe. This is my go-to bag for daily adventures, everything from ridge riding and bushwhacking, to meeting up with the girls for sushi post ride.
