Occam Designs Apex Strap

The Apex Strap is designed to be highly versatile and should fit most mountain bike frames. Because it uses a BOA tensioning system rather than fixed velcro straps, it can adapt to various tube shapes and diameters, though you should ensure you have a clear section of frame tubing to mount it securely.

The strap itself is made from durable, abrasion-resistant X-Pac fabric, which is easy to wipe down. However, because it is an open-frame mounting system, your gear will be exposed to the elements, so it is best suited for items like tubes and CO2 canisters that aren't affected by mud or grit.

The BOA L6 Fit System is exceptionally secure. Once you dial in the tension, it locks firmly in place and is specifically designed to prevent the strap from loosening or shifting, even when you are riding through rock gardens or rough descents.

Yes, the quick-release lace guide makes transferring the strap between bikes very straightforward. You can loosen the BOA dial completely to release the tension, allowing you to remove and reinstall it on a different frame in seconds without needing any tools.

To get the most stable hold, stack your items—like a tube and tire levers—tightly together before wrapping the strap around them. The Rhinotek interior lining provides a high-friction surface that grips your gear, but ensuring a tight, bundled stack before tightening the BOA dial is key to a rattle-free ride.
