The Texrex™ Stem Bag enables one-handed access to snacks, lip balm or gear. Stem bags, also aptly named feedbags, are especially useful on long rides and multi-day bikepacking trips. The bags are easy to install, and you’ll be able to redistribute weight from your back (jersey back pocket or backpack) to your bike. Your body will thank you for it. See description below.

- bags fitted to a bicycle:
- will rub at the contact points and dirt will exaggerate potential damage. You can use purpose made clear film to protect the frame and components. Quality electrical tape or self-adhesive silicon tapes are also good options.
- may affect handling, controls and cable routing. We recommend you ask a professional bicycle mechanic to check that your bicycle’s operation has not been compromised. He or she may suggest adjustments.
