New Gear: Bindle Rack

The Bindle Rack is a seatpost mounted rack designed to easily carry your gear or a stuff sack on multi-day cycling tours or just across town. The Bindle Rack’s design includes a lightweight alloy platform and heavy-duty compression straps that loop through saddle rails to securely hold gear.

The rack mount fits most bike's seat posts (22.0-31.6 mm) and installs in seconds using a 5mm Allen key. The Bindle is rated to carry up to 5.4 kgs (12 lbs). The innovative design eliminates the potential for side-to-side sway while riding and rear wheel rub for riders with short seat posts.

“This rack has been a couple years in the making. Dan Powell had the idea of a simple bikepacking rack that could handle all sizes and shapes of gear – most notably a growler of beer.” explained PDW General Manager, Erik Olson. “We’ve refined the Bindle over six prototypes, making improvements on each iteration until arriving at this final design.”

PDW is pleased to offer the Terrapin Drybag by Revelate Designs as a product add on for Bindle Racks ordered through their online shop. The Terrapin is 3d welded and offers a tapered shape that fits the rack platform perfectly and includes an air purge valve for easy compression. Each rack ordered from PDW will also include a custom designed patch by Bicycle Crumbs, as well as a Leave No Trace reference card for mountain biking.
