Protect Your Paint
Keeps your handlebar bag away from the head tube to prevent scuffs and paint wear.
Overview
The Fauna Handlebar Bag Support is a simple, sturdy way to keep your handlebar bag off the head tube. Its wide platform steadies the bag, improves tire clearance, and reduces sag.
Key Features
Section titled “Key Features”Better Clearance
Helps prevent bag sag and tire rub, especially on smaller frames or bikes with limited front-end clearance.
Lightweight
133 g for the short version and 153 g for the long, so there’s no reason to take it off between trips.

Powder-coated stainless steel can bend without breaking and won’t corrode in wet conditions.

What’s in the Box
Section titled “What’s in the Box”- 1× handlebar bag support (short or long)
- 1× 3/4” nylon webbing strap
Compatibility
Section titled “Compatibility”The support installs like a stem spacer, so it has the same requirements. Your bike needs:
- A threadless 1-1/8” steerer. Tapered steerers are fine, since they’re 1-1/8” where the stem clamps. Straight 1-1/4” and 1.5” steerers and quill stems aren’t compatible.
- At least 5 mm of spacers you can remove. The support takes the place of a 5 mm spacer. If your stem sits directly on the headset with no spacers, there’s no room for it.
- Cables that don’t run along the steerer. Bikes that route cables through the headset and out a frame port may be compatible, but check your setup before buying.
Choosing a Size
Section titled “Choosing a Size”The support comes in two sizes, and either will work on most bikes. The choice comes down to your stem length and how much clearance you want between the bag and the head tube.
- Short: for stems under 60 mm. Common on modern mountain bikes, and a little more stable with heavier loads.
- Long: for stems 60 mm or longer. Common on road and gravel bikes.
