The Gas Tank is a top tube mounted dual zip panel opening bag for your quick to access goodies. Food (thus the fuel tank..), a GPS, cameras, pizza.. you name it. The double zip panel opening design allows easy access to the contents. Gas tanks were used extensively during the 2008 Susitna 100 and Alaska Ultra Sport races.
Two standard sizes are available - a larger tapered size which matches the wider taper of our winter frame bags, and a shorter non-tapered size for more technical riding and summer endurance missions. Closed cell foam stiffens up the bag and adds padding to the top tube along with a bit of thermal protection.
Either size is available in Spectra Gridstop or Black Cordura.
The wider size:
The small tank is 2 1/2" shorter than the larger tank and does not have the wide taper. It is designed to integrate with our summer frame bags.
Also available with side pockets for carrying Gu's and gel flasks:
Once you use one, you will wonder how you ever ate while cycling without one!
Base price $50
Custom sizes and options available on request. For example this case has foam padding on the bottom and is lined with synthetic insulation for a video camera's 1,100 mile winter voyage on the iditarod trail.
