Backcountry Research Race Strap
Pricing
Our saddle mount strap is now even better. Now made with beefier velcro and Overlock, meaning your goodies are locked down tighter than a bulls butt during fly season. This is achieved by adding multiple velcro contact points eliminating any chance of your bundle working loose or spontaneously puking your goodies during gravity checks. We like that...you do too.
Each and every detail has been redesigned to deliver what a rider needs. Glove-friendly pull points, innovative dual shock-cord pre-load system, a single-side pull retention system for even quicker access to your goods, and the most intuitive installation you've seen this side of a light bulb.
To Load: Simply center the tube over the grip-strip and pull the dual shockcords up and over the ends to lock it down...flip it over and slide in your inflation and/or levers of your choice.
To Mount: Route the loop end through the seat rails, feed the slack through the contoured loop, reef down on your bundle then lock it down with the Overlock strap...eazy peazy.
Sized to fit a standard 26, 27.5 or 29 tube by itself or with 1-2 16g cartridges, 1-2 20g cartridges, 1-2 25g cartridges, multi-tool, mini pump with levers or whatever you want, it's your call.

Orders are taking longer to process and deliver due to the challenges we face with the Covid-19 pandemic. Items that are showing as 'In stock supplier' should take around 5 to 10 working days to arrive. Please only place your order if you are not in a particular rush. If you choose DPD we will prioritise your order and will try our best to get your order delivered to you within 5 working days, although this is completely determined by the speed of the supplier and outwith our control. It is not unusual for a few orders to go over the 5 working days. Orders for Hope items are taking the longest at the moment with a turnaround time of 2-3 week unless stated as 'In stock for Immediate Dispatch' in which case it would be dispatched very quickly. Our phone lines are temporarily closed to allow us to work more efficiently and get your orders out the door. We are aiming to respond to emails the same day or in the evenings. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these strange times. Stay safe and stay positive!
If you need an order quicker than this please email us with the product ID to find out if this is possible to avoid disappointment. Items that state 'Remote warehouse' can take a little longer than the above estimates. International orders to Europe and the rest of the World take around an extra 3 working days. We will email you as soon as the order is dispatched.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is FREE to the United Kingdom on most items over £40. Just add the item to the basket to confirm the postage price for your order, and you can always remove it again.
What about bikes?
We aim to dispatch all bikes within 5 working days, but during busy periods we may have a few builds in the queue and could take a bit longer. If this is a concern or you need the bike before a certain date then please email us to make sure we can achieve this and avoid any disappointment. We will email you the day of dispatch and you can expect the bike the following day. If you provide a mobile number on your order the courier will also send you a text message 1 hour before delivery so you know exactly what time to expect it.
Who do you use to send orders?
We use Royal Mail for most of your orders unless they are bulky or valuable, in which case we will send the order using DPD. You can also specify DPD at checkout if you prefer to have your item delivered with an hours notice in the form of email or text from the courier.
