Now strap on the bag on your bike and you are ready to go. You want something slightly different color pockets etc. Get your u bolt and place them on the rack. Honestly there are now plenty of quality and relatively inexpensive frame bags on the market see our full bikepacking bag guide for a list so the only three reasons to make your own are.

This is how my first frame bag turned out. So how do you make a bike packing frame bag. Insert the u bolt from the bike rack to the fabric of the bag. Hope this helps for all the diy ers.
