Storage
To store your bag, roll it up in a clean, dry piece of fabric. Keep it in a dry place and do not put anything on top of it.
Maintenance
Looking after your bag is the best way to extend its lifespan. In fact, the better care you take of it, the longer it will last.
When should you wash your bag?
You should wash your bike after every ride.
How should you wash your bag?
- Take your bag off your bike.
- Get some lukewarm, soapy water and a soft tea towel.
- Gently brush the entire surface of your bag, both inside and out. Aim to remove all encrusted bits of dirt.
- Dry your bag using a clean tea towel (avoid microfibre towels) and leave it in a dry place. Never leave it to dry in the sun.
Things to avoid
Never machine-wash your bag. This will damage it and could ruin its waterproofing.
