Ortlieb Fork Pack Review - They saved my bikepacking trip!

[@savageadventures]

Nice review, Clint! I'm going to get these for my Trek Checkpoint SL7 Gen3.

I have the small Ortlieb fork bags and they are perfect for my gravel bike. I keep tools, chain lubricant, spare tube and other smaller items for easy access on the trip. Had that frame bag with the zipper except the strap that's attached to the frame came undone during RAGBRAI and had to return the bag. REI gave me the roll up frame bag since the zipper bag was no longer made by Ortlieb. It's more durable but it does rub up against my knees when I'm riding so I can't pack too much stuff in it.

When your out bikepacking and there’s no Toilets etc you’ll be prepared 💪 I can’t wait to see your adventures and setup

Great review. I have the 4 L but have not used yet. For a frame bag try Arkel Frame bag. The large 4.5 L would fit your bike perfectly. In fact they have a template you print and tape, gives a sense of size. I can say no leg rub on the Arkel water proof Large frame bag.

I have a pair of the 4.1L on order right now. I am fixing to take my emtb out backcamping for the first time and I am sure I am way overpacked. I have unpacked, dwindled things down, and I still have managed to fill two Rack Roller 20L and a Rack Pack 31L and have no room left for food. This is why I ordered the fork bags. My problem is my love of some of my cooking gear, a kettle, a bushpot, a 10" steel skillet and my Agawa saw. Yea, I guess I am going to have to give some of it up. Anyway, thanks for the info....I subbed.

What if you run out of battery power? 😉

[@WayneTheSeine]

@@mountainbikingfortherestofus Ha ha.... no doubt

Be careful with carbon forks when removing the inserts from the screws, because you might put stress on the carbon around the screw hole. I ruined a carbon fork that way. Please make sure the pressure is put on the insert on the fork. Not the fork itself. Happy bikepacking! 💪🏻

Is it bike frame carbon? Wondering about the rack in mounts if that’s safe

[@ClintGibbs]

Carbon, and it’s very safe

[@samuraioodon]
