Tube Wrap MKIII

Acepac Tube Wrap MKIII - minimalist spare tube and tool carrier

Tube Wrap MKIII is a minimalist carrier for a spare tube and essential repair gear. It keeps a folded tube, tyre levers and a small repair kit securely together without the bulk of a traditional bag and allows the complete set to be attached directly to the bike.

The system is made from durable Hypalon. Your repair gear can be attached to a suitable frame tube or beneath the saddle, leaving valuable space inside your frame, handlebar and saddle bags free for other equipment.

Just the essentials for fixing a puncture

Tube Wrap is designed primarily for the equipment worth carrying on every ride. The basic setup consists of a spare tube and tyre levers, with room to add a small puncture repair kit or other compact repair accessories that can be securely held inside the wrap.

Unlike a traditional bag, it does not create an additional enclosed compartment. The equipment is strapped directly together, keeping the complete package compact and simple.

• weight: 60 g
• folded dimensions: 22.5 × 15 cm
• unfolded dimensions: 45 × 22.5 cm
• material: Hypalon
• designed for: spare tube, tyre levers and basic repair gear

Mount it directly to the frame

The Hypalon strap allows Tube Wrap MKIII to be attached to a suitable frame tube. This keeps your repair equipment outside your other bags and ready on the bike whenever you need it.

Before riding, make sure the tube and all other equipment are firmly secured, the strap cannot interfere with any moving parts and the complete package cannot shift on the frame.

Can also be mounted beneath the saddle

If you prefer not to carry the Tube Wrap on the frame, it can also be attached to the saddle rails. This makes good use of the free space beneath the saddle while maintaining a very minimalist setup.

Loop for a rear light

Tube Wrap MKIII also includes a loop for attaching a rear light. When mounted beneath the saddle, the carrier can therefore hold both your repair equipment and a compatible rear light.

Durable Hypalon construction

Tube Wrap MKIII is made from Hypalon, a durable material well suited to heavily stressed parts of bikepacking equipment. The wide strap surface helps keep the folded tube firmly in place.

Because the spare tube is carried without an outer bag, we recommend packing it so that sensitive areas are not pressed directly against sharp edges of tools or other equipment.

Protection against water

Tube Wrap is an open strap system and does not protect the equipment from rain, splashing water or dirt. The tube, tyre levers and other accessories remain exposed to the conditions around the bike.

Small metal parts or equipment sensitive to moisture should therefore be protected separately when riding in wet conditions.

Tube Wrap in an independent review

You can also read about the practical concept behind Tube Wrap in an independent review on cykl.cz. The review covers practical mounting on the frame or beneath the saddle, carrying a spare tube and repair equipment, stability while riding and the rear-light attachment.

The review was published in 2020 and describes an earlier generation of Tube Wrap, so some construction details and specifications differ from the current MKIII version.

Tube Wrap, Tool Wallet or Tube Bag?

Tube Wrap MKIII is the simplest option if you mainly want to carry a spare tube, tyre levers and a few repair essentials without using a conventional bag.

If you prefer to organise tools and small spare parts into separate pockets, choose the Tool Wallet MKIII. If you want an enclosed compartment for a spare tube and repair gear, the Tube Bag MKIII is the better choice.
