skingrowsback Hot Dog XL Racing Top Tube Bag - Black/Silver

In for the long haul the Hot Dog Racing Top Tube Bag, XL version was developed for overall performance on this area of the bike.

The 1.7 litre variant of the smaller Hot Dog is just as stable over rough ground.

With our Hook & Cord mounting assembly the Hot Dog XL continues to dominate when it comes to stability and ease of use. In development we found that even the XL size at 415mm in length does not falter. The Hook & Cord remains attached to the bag making set up and removal simple. The Hot Dog XL can be run as an individual bag or paired with the Ninja Racing Frame Bag as two interconnected units sharing the same fastening style.

The drive and non drive side have a large reflective panel sheltered with 1oz Dyneema. The translucent properties at this weight allow light to pass through ensuring visibility when dark.

A combination of VX21 and 1oz Dyneema give the Hot Dog XL the lowest possible weight for the performance advantages gained. A solid contender if you are only running one bag.

This Hot Dog Racing Top Tube Bag XL is Manufactured in Melbourne Australia

Care Instructions

If you can't get your skingrowsback product looking good with a simple hose down, it's recommended to hand wash with a mild detergent if required, dry in the shade only.

Do not machine wash, machine dry, or iron. Avoid pressure washing and drying in direct sun light.

Here are some useful suggestions for maintaining your skingrowsback product.

Washing.

When it comes to washing there are two ways you can approach this. Primarily for skingrowsback on bike products the most effective way is to use a hose to remove the bulk of the dirt and mud. Try to avoid using a pressure washer as this can do more harm than good. Different colours will have different results, the brighter the colour the more difficult it will be to keep clean for obvious reasons.

If the product you are washing has a stiff component to it please DO NOT wash it in the washing machine, this will cause the structure to be compromised.

Understanding the materials skingrowsback use for products will help you care for them in an optimal way. Almost all products use materials that have a DWR coating (Durable Water Repellent) on the outer layer. Over time this will wear off with factors like abrasion, fibre stress, prolonged UV exposure and detergents. 

Zips

Using zips is pretty self explanatory, you pull it one way to open and the opposite way to close.

You can avoid stress on the teeth of the zip if you hold the product together when zipping it up. Pushing any obstructions away from the zip slider as you close it can avoid a jam, lightweight materials like jackets are notorious for this. Removing dirt, mud and particularly sand from the surface of the zip can reduce the risk of damage when opening and closing. All our on bike products use a YKK PU coated zip this offers a degree of water repellency, it's also easy to wipe down before use.

Zip lube is another great way to prolong the life of your zip. Yes, zip lube. Apply a small amount to the teeth of the zip occasionally for smoother running zips.

Spray Before You Play.

Before you use your product skingrowsback recommends using a water shield spray, this not only repels water but will reduce the amount of dirt that sticks to the surface. Follow the instructions on the container for the best results.
