I have a mountain bike with a non-standard top tube (a specialized stumpjumper). Are the straps long enough to reach around this large top tube?

I have the same exact bike and 2 of the 3 straps do fit. the strap around the handle bar post works and the strap to the rear of the horizontal frame post fits. the one closest to that junction does not fit. I have rode twice with this and it seems to stay but does move around a bit. Overall I am happy. I got rid of my underseat bag and just use this one now.

I just measured the strap, It should fit around a tube that is 6.5 -7" in circumference.

Jim, My straps adjust, so it just barely fits. The external tubes work great for the extra large putter grip I have on my putter.

The clamp opens up pretty big, I have a ciomfort bike with a large top tube it easily accomodates, so probably yes, if not the clamp rotates and you can hold it by the seat tube, good luck

The top of the rack itself has a 15 1/2" platform. Mine sits a few inches back from seat post tube. The distance from post tube to the back of rack is 21". My seat however extends 1" over the front of the rack, leaving 14 1/2" of space for a very high basket or pack. All of this depends somewhat on your bike geometry since the rack is adjustable. You shouldn't have a problem with the basket extending over the back of the rack however (it's very sturdy) so it will probably work for you.

I don't own one of those bikes, but the strap should fit around the handlebar vertical tube. The Velo Gripper pulls really tight. In my opinion, it would work.

I got the long one hoping that it would fit through my front wheel and frame. But did not. I have a full suspension mtb and the frame is a funny shape and quite large. I would get a standard size and a cable to run through the tires.

The straps on mine are 7" long. My bike rack is 5" wide and it holds it securely, even when it's on the bike rack on the car or bus.

Yes, but not very good. I have actually done that but the bike would slip and move. The top tube on my bike is angled so it slipped to the corner where the top tube meets the head tube. It would work if you "tie" it down to the hanger.

Shouldn't be a problem, I use it to hold my skydiving and scuba rigs just laid a 2" steel bar stock across the hooks then through the shoulder straps. So I wouldn't see why your bike frame would have an issue.

I highly doubt it. I strap mine to my 31.5mm seat tube, and there isn't much to spare.

These straps are one inch wide and each one is 12 inches long. I have used them several times to secure three different bikes, the largest a Suzuki C50, and they have done well. You will need to tie (loop) two together to get far enough from the bars and tank to avoid damage from heavier straps with hooks and rachets. Overall, I am well pleased with the performance and cost of these straps.

My bike doesn't have those kind of handlebars, but it has many cables that run along the handlebars. The mount for the bag is about 2" wide and 1/2" deep so it holds the bag away from the handlebars about 1/2" which allows plenty of room for the cables to run in between the bag and the handlebars. I would expect the bag to work fine with your cables & handlebars. I love mine, and works well.

I regularly put my mountain bike on this rack and drive through some pretty rough terrain along steep mountain trails around Lake Tahoe. Using the third strap on the down tube helps to stabilize the bike and prevents it from swinging. So to answer your question: yes, my mountain bike fits tightly in this rack.

I couldn't say for sure given that is a very large set. It probably will but I'm not sure if the straps will be long enough.

Leather straps fit around my daughter's townie bike with no problems :) good luck!

I have the same rack, all I did design a longer stinger to allow room for the bike rack. This rack is on my motorhome ,I use the Velcro straps then rap a cable lock around bikes and the ladder and holds well. The mount for my rack 2"x21/4" with a 3/4 bolt to crank it down. Jim ..jimgil.@aol.com

Looking at pics of the bike, as long as you use the included straps for the bottom fastener loops. It also has an adjustable Velcro strap, about 4-6inches wide, on the back side to adjust for fit over the sissy bar. I would say yes.
