Megasack Giveaway Day 3: Aeroe Spider Rear Rack & Dry Bags

It’s the third day of our Megasack giveaway. Are you not entertained? What does today have in store you ask? (Is it not obvious from the headline and the image above?) Well now…

Aeroe Spider Rear Rack, Cradles & Dry Bags

• Price: £284.96 (Spider rear rack and cradle £119.99, extra Spider rear cradle £64.99, 2 x 8L drybags £49.99 each)
• From: Freewheel

The USP of the Aeroe system is that it should fit any – and all – of your bicycles. Use it on a trad touring bike, use it on a hardtail mountain bike, use it on a full suspension ebike. It’ll fit.

• Fits any bike
• Easy Mounting
• Rugged & Durable
• Tackle Any Terrain

We’ve got it set up in these pics on a fairly standard full suspension mountain bike. As you can see, the cradles (and thus the bespoke drybags attached to them) are vertically arranged on the side arms of the rack. You can rotate the cradles 90° if you’d prefer a more horizontally aligned set-up.

You can also just run one cradle-and-drybag if that’s all you need; the cradle can anchor on the cross-bar section directly over the rear tyre. Again, positioning can be 90° or 180° (if ytou know what we mean). The cradle can be set to lay perpendicular to the bike (not very aero but good for giving the ‘wide load’ vibe whilst commuting!) or it can be set to lie inline with the bike which will be a bit more streamlined and take up less room in train carriages, workplace bike sheds and when back at home etc.

We can happily confirm that attaching, adjusting and removing Aeroe stuff is very simple and fairly swift. There is none of the faff that you may associate with wrestling with traditional panniers of yore. All you need if your hands and a 5mm Allen key. All the nuts are generally captured (so you can install it without a helper, or too much swearing) and there’s nothing scratchy-metal against the frame.

Materials: high grade stainless steel, anodised aluminium, glass reinforced nylon and silicone coated straps.

Weights: rack with cradle & in-built straps – 979g (2.1 lbs), rack alone – 641g (1.4 lbs).

Load capacity: 16kgs.

Aeroe: “The Aeroe Spider Rear Rack is designed with ease, useability and most importantly, your ride in mind. Whether you’re adventuring for one day or three weeks, this lightweight but robust rack is designed to enhance your ride and will fit any bike, including e-bikes.”
