💬 STAFF REVIEW
Do you ever find your handlebar bag rubbing against your tire? The RESTRAP Bumper Bar solves that problem.
Its horizontal bumper shape supports the back of your bag, preventing interference while maintaining a sleek look.
It also offers expandability for attaching luggage or lights, and installation is as simple as sliding it onto your fork steerer. It's a clever idea that also functions as a 3mm spacer.
This is a bike-packing comfort item that we especially recommend to anyone who thought they “had to give up on using large bags.”
