ROCKBROS Bike Handlebar Bag Small Bicycle Handle Bar Bag Handy Front Bike Bags Handlebar Storage Pouch Pack with Shoulder Strap Little Mountain Road Bike Barrel Bag

The product was purchased for the purpose of a 60km ascent to an altitude of 4100 meters. While the storage capacity of the product is adequate, its water-resistant capabilities are lacking. Furthermore, the seams exhibited signs of damage after only 40 kilometers of usage, which is concerning considering it was the first time the product was used. Improvements in durability are necessary. The product successfully accommodated 4 gels, 4 energy bars, a spare hose, and a mobile phone.

Perfect size. Well made.

Really like the durability. Wish the back strap that attches.to the handle bar had smaller sticking to fit the straps better. On a long bike ride the bag drops a little.
Would still purchase again. Good value for the money.
Zipper solid, ease of use great and comes with a shoulder strap.

Summary

– 3 stars for clearance
– 5 stars for the nice strap

– About the clearance

Mainly the bag didn’t fit my bike too well due to clearance issues. So I have a CAAD10 50cm road bike with a slammed stem. From the bottom of the stem to top of my front tire it is about 5.5 inches or 14 cm.

First off, the bag cleared my bike just enough, however with the zipper open, it was rubbing on my tire.

The bag has 2 loops on the top, with a wide length. 2 velcro straps go in these loops, then around your bars. With the wide length, this is nice because it accommodates more positions on your bars (for ex, if you have a lot of accessories, bells, lights, etc.). However the wide length increases the amount of droop/slack by maybe 1 inch (also this doesn’t look as sleek).

On top of that, the bungee cord’s plastic tightener is in the middle of the bag (vs being on the sides or elsewhere), which decreases the clearance between the bag and tires.

– The good stuff

One thing I really liked about this bag compared to others I’ve tried is the strap and attachment buckle. The buckle is super easy to slide on, and is very secure. Vs the hook/clip style buckles, which I think take a bit more effort, time, and don’t look as sleek. Surprisingly, the strap is also very useful to stow away, and put on and use the bag as needed (although it’s just slightly annoying to redo the velcros every time. Imagine if the straps were some kind of quick release instead of the velcro, which I don’t like the scratchy texture anyway).

– Other

One handed operation did not work for me.

This is a really nice bag. Just the right size, and very lightweight. Seems very well made. Does not have any enormous words or strange logos on it, just black, discreet and cool. Pull that trigger mate!
