Attach the Zeitgeist Pack to your bicycle handlebars using the included Handlebar Bag Foam Spacer Kit, or ditch the foam blocks and mount the bag to the loops on your saddle using the Swift Straps that come with the bag.
An HDPE liner (that you’ll insert when your bag arrives), adds structure to the bag, improving its stability on the bicycle. Compression straps pull the bag close to the bicycle, keeping cargo weight compact and tight.
The Zeitgeist Pack is available in one size, and comes standard with flap daisy chains and D-rings for versatile off-bike carry and extra dangle capacity.

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 10” of space between your bicycle handlebars and the top of your front or rear tire to use the Zeitgeist 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.

You may need to engage the cord lock on the lash cord attached to the daisy chain on the back of the bag. If the cord lock is not gripping the shock cord, compress the button end down hard until you hear a click. This means the cord lock is fully engaged and will lock onto the shock cord when static.
