Equipped Storage Solution: Apidura Fork Pack and Load Carrier Cage

The Apidura Fork Pack and Cargo Cage are not your average budget cycling accessories, but they are worth the investment for their durability and effectiveness. These products, developed by Apidura itself, have gained a reputation for being rugged, well-made, and keeping contents dry in all weathers.

The Fork Pack, weighing 116 grams, fixes securely in place with two velcro straps. The straps are thick, non-stretchy, and the velcro is very strong, ensuring a solid attachment to the fork arm. The Cargo Cage, tested with the Apidura Fork Pack, fits securely with a two or three bolt system.

The Fork Pack's roll top bag design is a common feature on dive boats worldwide due to its effectiveness in keeping kit dry. Each bag comes with two, two-foot velcro straps for attachment. The roll top bag has one hole at the top that is sealed by rolling the top over and clipping it with a quick release buckle, preventing water from entering from above or below.

A 3L Apidura bag can comfortably fit a full set of cycling kit, including bib shorts, undervest, short sleeve jersey, socks, gilet, and armwarmers, with room to spare. It is important to squeeze as much air out of the bag before rolling it down and fastening to ensure a snug fit and optimal stability.

The Fork Pack sits on the small shelf of the Cargo Cage, and velcro straps are used to secure it. However, the bottom of the bag doesn't sit perfectly on the cage's shelf, and a flat bottom or a loop to secure it to the shelf would improve its stability. It is recommended to carry lighter items at the front of the bag to avoid making steering too heavy.

The side panels of the bag are made of highly reflective material for extra visibility, a thoughtful addition for those who cycle in low light conditions. The loop at the bottom of the bag seems designed to hold a small light, adding to its functionality.

Apidura's Fork pack is made with waterproof materials and has glued seams with no stitching to prevent water from entering. This roll closure design is also applied to their saddle pack, bar bag, and other products in their line, demonstrating Apidura's commitment to quality and innovation.

In conclusion, the Apidura Fork Pack and Cargo Cage are reliable and practical solutions for cyclists seeking durable and effective storage options for their gear. Despite a few minor design improvements that could enhance stability, these products are a solid choice for those who value performance and reliability.
