Product Information

Full details

The Wholegrain Cycles CARRIE Cradle is an ideal solution for bikepackers and touring cyclists who need a stable, waterproof storage system for their handlebars. It is designed to keep gear secure across rugged terrain, offering a refined, mono-material construction that prioritizes sustainability and durability. While the cradle is exceptionally versatile, it is best suited for riders who prefer a dual-roll bag system and are comfortable managing the manual tensioning of the included STIFF straps to ensure optimal stability on technical trails.

FAQs

Is the CARRIE dry bag fully waterproof?

Can I attach more gear to the cradle?

Yes, the cradle features multiple high-strength webbing points specifically designed for attaching extra items.

What is the benefit of the mono-material construction?

It ensures the product is easier to recycle, supporting Wholegrain Cycles' commitment to sustainability.

Does it fit with my CLIFF Bag Hanger?

Yes, the CARRIE Cradle is fully compatible with the CLIFF Bag Hanger for expanded storage.

How do I clean the front panel?

The PET-coated front panel is designed to be easy-clean; simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after your ride.

What is included in the box?

The box contains the CARRIE Cradle, one 18L dual-roll side dry bag, two 1.2m STIFF straps, and one 335mm retention cord.

Troubleshooting

The load feels unstable or 'sways' while riding.

Re-tighten the STIFF straps. Ensure the straps are threaded through the webbing points correctly to provide maximum compression.

The bag hits the front tire.

Adjust the mounting position of the cradle higher on the bars or ensure the dry bag is rolled tightly to reduce its overall diameter.

Strap slipping during heavy use.

Verify that the straps are threaded through the buckles correctly and that there is no debris in the buckle teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Mounting: Choose the narrow or wide mounting points based on your handlebar width. Secure the cradle to your bars using the provided hardware.
Packing: Distribute weight evenly within the 18L bag. Use the dual-roll ends to compress the load.
Securing: Wrap the two STIFF straps around the cradle and the bag, threading them through the high-strength webbing points to lock the bag in place.
Care: Clean the front panel regularly with mild soap and water. Inspect the webbing points and straps before long trips for signs of wear. The bag can be wiped clean; store in a dry, ventilated area when not in use.
