tade qui blanket | A new form of frame bag that eliminates knee rub
A slim frame bag born from the idea of "draping" it over the top tube.
The "blanket" from tade qui is packed with features to make both riding and carrying stress-free.
Its unique structure, inspired by horse blankets, creates independent storage spaces on the left and right by simply draping it over the top tube. A major feature is its ability to carry necessary items securely while leaving space within the frame.
Designed to be thinner than typical frame bags, it reduces knee rub during pedaling, enabling a comfortable ride. Furthermore, by securing space under the top tube, it can also accommodate long items such as frame pumps and tent poles.
It is a quiet and functional product that naturally blends into the appearance of chromoly bikes.

When you actually use it, the thinness really makes a difference. There's less stress on your knees when dancing or cornering, making long rides comfortable.
The divided storage on the left and right is surprisingly easy to use; you can organize items by purpose, such as tools on one side and nutrition on the other. It's also a nice touch that items don't mix inside the bag.
Furthermore, by utilizing the space under the top tube, you can carry a frame pump or tent pole, making it highly compatible with bikepacking. This model is definitely recommended for those who want the storage capacity of a frame bag but are concerned about knee rub or a bulky feeling.
