I've used Ortlieb's 4.1L Fork Packs for over a year and a half now. These fork bags have some great qualities such as their waterproofness and ease-of-use. But they have some downsides to be aware of as well. If you're looking for a streamlined way to carry some weight on the front of your bike, check out this review of Ortlieb's 4.1L Fork Packs.

UPDATE: Someone kindly pointed out that Ortlieb has an adapter to help with angled fork mounts. Super cool! I haven't used them myself yet but plan to get a set and will leave the link here in case anyone is in a similar boat :) ortlieb.ca/products/fork-pack-adapter-45-to-30-e240

I've been running these for the last two years and have no complaints. I usually have my tarp, rain gear, a hammock in one and the other I have a med kit, puffy coat, and my toiletries. A great set of bags for various uses.

Excellent review. I think you have me sold. Ortlieb show support this video in some capacity.

I'm so glad it was helpful :) Good luck on your adventures!

I have all my bike tools, spare tube etc in one and my valuables, phone, bike lock keys etc in the other. It’s great if you stop at a cafe or something, I can just grab the valuables one and can leave everything else attached to the bike.

@SheelaghDaly 8 месяцев назад

Ooh nice. That sounds like a great setup!

@cherj960 8 месяцев назад

Great idea! I’m always concerned when I stop having to think about OK what do I grab my phone my keys my wallet having everything in a bag that can quickly be accessed and obviously from the video is just a click away from removal from the bike is a perfect solution. Thanks so much.!

Nice!!

Perfect.

Thanks for the review. If you do want to sit the bag at a different angle, I think Ortlieb makes an adaptor to change it from 45º to 30º.

@SheelaghDaly 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for mentioning this!! I just looked it up and yes I think that will be super helpful. Very much appreciated!

I have a nutrition question for you. What do you think of Celtic sea salt on bicycle touring? Thank you.

Hi Sheelagh, I've been trying out different gloves for long-distance riding but haven't found the perfect solution yet. Which gloves do you find best for multi-day bike rides? Do you wear gloves every day on your tour or do you also do glove-free days?

@SheelaghDaly 8 месяцев назад

On bike trips I almost always wear padded fingerless gloves and then I also carry padded “cold weather” puffy gloves for cold weather days. I like that the pad helps absorb a bit of the road vibration and I prefer having something on my hands in case I fall. Hope that helps!

Are you going to change them to the biger version?

I just got a pair of Ortlieb 4.1L Fork Packs yesterday. I plan on mounting them on my KHS Grit 440, see that you have virtually the same bike. I only have two mounts of each fork blade instead of the three that the mounting plate has. My question is, do you have three on your bike or if you also have only two, those two are enough?

@SheelaghDaly Месяц назад

I just mounted them on two mounts each and that’s been enough for me. Have a look at the instructions though, from what I remember they were pretty detailed to cover different set ups :)

@davewoodward1155 8 месяцев назад

They are great but mine rattle when going over rough ground for some reason.

@SheelaghDaly 8 месяцев назад

That’s annoying! Maybe reach out to ortlieb in case it’s a warranty issue? Mine don’t make a sound!

@outtatrex 8 месяцев назад

I love your shirt !!! So cool.

dem ortileb handle bar bags ain't all that good. They are way over priced like a 100 dollars, and the thing i don't like about them is the ride up to high on da bike blocking your view of your front tire and you cant mount lights on the handle bar either. it blocks them. even with a handle bar extention its up to high. so i like the cheap amazon handle bar bags that do the same thing but ride a lot lower, but they sag some. i'll use the cheap bags that are warter proof and have an insulated lining in them for snacks and drinks or beer. can put a cup of ice in there too. comes with a map case up front to. i can mount handle bar lights without blocking the view. just saying!! However, i do like the way you have your bike loaded. I load mine very similar!! thanks for sharing!!
