Template Instructions
Template method
An easy way to create the template would be to first cut a piece of cardboard that fits behind the drive side of your triangle. Tape a large piece (or pieces) of paper to the cardboard. Secure the cardboard in place by attaching it to your top tube with a few strips of masking or painters tape.
Carefully trace the shape of the triangle holding the pencil as straight as you can.
Mark the locations of braze ons for packs with bolted option. Double check to be sure that these marks measure 64mm (2.5”) apart on your template.
Include a line across the template that’s relatively level by measuring up from ground marking two lines on the template of equal distance.
Tape multiple pieces of template paper together if necessary then remove the paper from cardboard.
Please note order number, frame: year, make, model, size on your template. Also indicate the width that you would like your pack built to.
Your pack can be built to any desired width. Take a look at the width of your toptube and your riding position to be sure your knees won’t rub the sides of your frame pack. Frame packs will buldge a bit when stuffed so keep that in mind. Typically a bit wider than your toptube is not a problem. The width that’s been most popular has been 6cm.
