Honest Review Of Fjällräven Bar Bag and Rack

[@warwicksworkshop9511]

Ironically you can buy the bag, but the rack has been out of stock here in Australia all year.

Ohh but check Specialized.com

Completely oposite story here in Serbia 😅

Hi! Thank you so much for your review. One of our core philosophies is to get feedback from the people who spend time in nature and use our gear as it helps us develop better products. As @Kleanmf mentioned, the clamps of the rack should be screwed on to the lower rod and the cord should be tightened from below and upwards in order to maximize stability. Hope that helps, and let us know if you have any other questions or want to chat. Happy biking!

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. 🙌 I tried both ways and its still dropping. And yes its a bit more steady if mounted on the under rod. What i did to prevent this is using gorilla tape around the bar as a layer which makes the surface more grippy and steady and the clamps stay in place, kinda 🙂

Why is there no video instruction on how to assemble your products anywhere? Thanks

[@Modrunnermusic]

I dont understand the stabilizer strap, how do you get it locked/tied on? Left side

Thanks for your review, gave me a real good view of what it exactly is. Just ordered the set for 50% off. The Thule rack looks solid as well for a good price, maybe I'll look into that too.

[@Kleanmf]

I have never had problems with mine. Are you aware of that you have mounted the rack wrong? The clamps should be mounted to the lower rod, not the top rod. And the dyneema cord should come from above and go under your stem head. Then it will be solid as a rock. Good luck.

[@iamleonofficial]

Hi mate! Thanks for advice. I tried both ways actually. Differenses can depends on weight, bar surface etc. Again thx for advice hope it will help some 🙌

Had mine loaded up with 4-5kg and extremly bumpy gravelroad in the alps, never dropped a millimeter. You have to get the cord tension right though. Loosen the bolts on the handlebar part of the clamp, so that you can tilt the Rack and the clamp as one unit on the handlebar, angle it towards you, that way the distance of the cord will shorten and you can easily insert the cord into the slot. Once its in the slot you push the rack back to an horizontal position which tensions the cord. Tighten the bolts. You wont be able to get enough tension on the cord if you skip the tilting part, which results in your rack dropping during your ride until the cord is under tension. I think fjällräven and specialized could work on the installation instructions. I once saw a biker with the same rack that didnt shorten the cord at all, so it just tangled around the stem and the rack and bag where literally angled 90° (top of the bag oriented forward). For the price i would expect better, took me a while to install the saddle bag because the instructions were truly not usefull

I mean it's definitely not as sleek as the Fjall Räven Bag, but Ortlieb or Vaude Handlebar bags have been around for years and work just as great as a camera bag. The only thing that is undoubtedly not very cool for a Gravel bike is the mount that will stay permanently on the handlebar.

[@iamleonofficial]

Hi! Thanks for your input, i check it out asap. This bag is made for stuff overall. I use it as camera bag as the hardshell is solid. You can use it for beers too ☺️
