Considering one these but need someone with one if possible to measure from the front of the bag to where the Velcro strap starts and finishes at the rear of the bag. I need to ensure it doesn’t interfere with the Velcro straps on my Wildcat ocelot frame bag
Many Thanks
Go for an Alpkit Fuel Pod.
They have a ladder arrangement that means you can position the velcro straps as required.
Plus they are on offer and half the price of Revelate.
Good shout but after black and it’s sold out plus not sure if it’s waterproof
I find those Alpkit Fuel Pods with the ladder system a bit flippy floppy. The Revelate's much better which is why I sold the Fuel Pod on the 'bay.
The Alpkit Fuel Pod isn't "waterproof" but not much water gets in to it, even so I'd have anything delicate in plastic bags or dry bags.
We've discussed the Fuel Pod before - it's the material that the ladder system is made out of that doesn't grip the top tube - the Gas tank has some sort of grippy material to help with this. You could use some sticky backed velcro on top tube and the ladder to sort it out. Also getting the strap around the steerer as tight as possible helps.
I would need to make sure the straps on the Revelate don’t interfere with the straps on my Wildcat ocelot frame bag.
Just wish Wildcat would do a gas tank type bag, I know they do the cheetah top tube bag but seems a bit fiddly and under the saddle is a bit obscure if trying to get something out while on the move. Plus I would like it to be waterproof.
Anyone got a Revelate gas tank they can measure for me?
Did you also post on bearbones forum?
This is the comment I posted there this morning:
Mine is an older version but:
Front to strap 165mm
Strap width 50mm
Strap to rear 25mm
I use it on two bikes, one with a L Ocelot, one with a XL Ocelot and they are compatible.
Psling cheers and yes just haven’t checked back into bearbones.
Ta very much
Well just had a reply on bearbones it appears the Velcro on the Revelate gas tank is in the same place as the ocelot frame bag so I’ll have to look at an alternative, any thoughts?
Must be waterproof and black!
