Accessories should solve a specific problem: navigation, visibility, security, carrying, or repair. Before buying, check compatibility with your bike’s handlebars, frame, wheels, and mounting points, and confirm the size and weight limits for your setup.
What to consider
- Computers and GPS: Check mount type, screen size, battery life, sensor compatibility, and whether it works with your phone or other devices.
- Lights: Check brightness, beam pattern, battery or charging type, mounting method, and whether front and rear lights are included.
- Locks: Check lock type, shackle or chain length, weight, and whether it fits your frame and the objects you lock to.
- Bags and racks: Check capacity, mounting system, rack weight limit, and clearance from wheels, brakes, and fenders.
- Pumps and tools: Check valve compatibility (Presta or Schrader), pressure range, and whether the tool fits your bolts, chain, and tire type.
- Compatibility notes: Handlebar diameter, tire size, axle type, and frame mounts vary by bike. Compare the accessory’s stated fit with your bike before ordering.
