Review on ๐Ÿšฒ QCLTY Bike Tire Repair Kit + Mini Air Pump & Rainproof Storage Bag - Includes Bicycle Multi Fix Tool, Pre-Glue Puncture Repair Kit & Accessories by Alex Winnick

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Inconvenient division. Cannot be fully opened. There is no air sensor. Not a fan of this bag/set

I wanted something I could have on my Trek mountain bike that could hold a pump and accessories while riding in an emergency. I wanted something to store my keys, wallet and cell phone. I tried this QLCTY kit but I don't think it's a very good accessory kit and bag. The bag attaches to the top bar where the bar meets the fork. The bag attaches to the bike with three Velcro straps: two on the top bar under the bag and one around the handlebars. The bag feels secure enough when attached and it leaves enough room for my legs/knees when I'm pedaling so I don't bump into the bag all the time. However, the bag does not open fully when attached as it should be. Bicycle. All you can do is lift the lid and then the handlebars prevent it from opening fully so you can access the bag's contents. In order for me to open it wide enough to pull things out, I have to remove the velcro that wraps around the handlebar area and undo the two bottom velcro straps so I can slide the kit down the handlebars until it's far enough. from the steering wheel so I can open it completely. Even that is tricky because as soon as you undo the velcro to move the bag, it detaches from the handlebars and wants to roll under the bike's upper handlebars. When it rolls open, everything falls out of the bag onto the floor. The bike pump feels a bit flimsy - you pull out the middle and there is a rubber tube inside that extends the pump so you can attach it to the tire. pressure valve. When I pulled the rubber hose out of the pump, some oil got on my fingers. I also had a hard time installing the wrench on the tire pressure valve. I tried pumping it up a bit, but after realizing I was currently at 20psi and needing to pump it up to 55psi, I grabbed my portable car tire pump and used it. Because pumping up so much pressure manually would take too long. I'm sure it's fine for a little pressure or topping up tires. However, this kit does not include a pressure gauge. I had to buy a separate tire pressure gauge to keep in this bag as it wasn't included and the hand pump doesn't have a built in gauge. It doesn't seem very comfortable for the driver. It comes with a folding key that has all sorts of Allen keys on it and something to fix if you pop or break, plus extra valves and bits and pieces. Why they didn't install a pressure valve seems strange. With all those items in the pocket there isn't room for anything you want to add - keys, phone etc so I put my phone and wallet in the cargo pocket and made sure they were securely locked. I don't think I will keep this bag on my bike. I think I'll try to find something else that's different or more apt. I might end up getting a rear pocket so I have room for everything when I take the bike out. As it stands I'm not a fan of this bag and don't think I would recommend it to riders. It's awkward to attach, making it difficult to open and use, and the accessories that come with it lack a few things that I consider essential for such a bag (e.g. a tire pressure gauge). I don't like that, to fully open the bag you basically have to take it out of its set position. When I stop on my bike and need something from the bag, I want to be able to fully open the bag without getting off the bike and remove the bag to get what I need. This seems counterproductive for the purpose of the bag. I would not recommend this bag. Full Disclosure: This bag was made available for free through the Revain Vine program. I was given this bag free of charge for an unbiased review.

Pros
  • cool item
Cons
