Brisbane Outdoor Gear

Fixed gear bike, or track bikes, is a popular type of bike recently. Even more popular than road bike and montain bike.


Fixed gear usually have no brakes because they stop by lock the rear wheel.


And it is hard to lock the rear wheel without straps or toe clips.


And now, we would like to introduce a brand that deisgn and manufactures customisable products.



Most of the products are deisgned for Messengers or bikers. Backpacks, messenger bags, straps...etc.


The "Strap ons" is the straps use on BMX perdal. They are made by highly abrasion resistant TPU.


The strap use velcro as the system which provide a extremely large surface area for any type of shoes.




Other than straps ons, they make backpack and messenger bag with different sizes.


All the product are made with love and durable.

Here is a short video of 35KG BIG backpack.

Check them out, visit Brisbane Outdoor Gear for details.





Editor review:


The "little thing" did a good job. As I am a fixed gear rider, straps or clips is important as breaks.


They help me a lot on skid and lock the wheel.


For those city rider who ride everyday and especially bike messenger, this straps is best fit for the them.


I've use this straps over a year but they still tough and nice.



New straps ons.



After 1 year...


Compare with other brand like "HoldFast", Bo Gear has a good deisgn on straps.


The material tears easily on HoldFast but Straps ons don't.


Moreover, it gives me "a sense of security" when I hit the road.


Although I am track rider but I don't play tricks. (...I play none!)


I strongly recommand them to all freestyle riders.


Try them! I am sure they rock well!
