To determine the best size for your bike frame:

1. Print the templates (links below) to determine which size best fits 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, operating the zipper will be difficult. When in doubt, choose the smaller size.
