Can the racks fit my carbon bike?

Yes, recommend some 'mastic or bike tape' at touch points, and stay within the weight limits and tightness recommendations found in our product manual.

I have a small frame with limited space to my saddle – will it fit?

Yes, our racks provide a great solution here, as our gear sits totally independently to the saddle post meaning you have room for your gear, including using your suspension and dropper post. Commonly cradles can be located on top of the rack (with 90 degrees rotation option), or located on side of rack to suit preferences combined with our handlebar cradle.

Can I carry an eBike battery on the racks?

Yes, commonly used on our racks are our quick mount Pods with built in security straps, ideal for eBike batteries and camera equipment alternatively you can fit batteries into a dry bag and pack with clothes for protection.

What materials are aeroe products made from?

We use high quality strong fully water proof materials; High grade stainless steel, anodized aluminium, glass reinforced nylon PA66-GF30 and silicone coated straps. The soft parts of the 11L Pod and dry bags are made from heavy duty Nylon +TPU HF Welded.

My Quick Mount Pod waterproof Zip is tight.

Once used once or twice this will ease up. Zipper Lubricant commonly used on Life Jackets and wetsuits is a good ongoing lubricant also.

Occasionally my Handlebar Cradle slips.

If you have a narrow handlebar tube (Often found on Jones Bars) we can supply shorter straps. Alternatively due to tapered or smooth handlebars try this, find an old bike tube, cut approx. 2 x 130mm lengths, long enough so tube will wrap your handlebar with a slight overlap. Fasten straps around the tube/handlebars and tighten.

or ask about our new "Rubber Coated Metal Straps" at team@aeroe.com

We have a spare parts pack that includes rubber feet and straps now available on our website.
