CARRIE Cradle With Dry Bag

Wholegrain Cycles CARRIE Cradle With Dry Bag is a modular handlebar carry system built for bikepacking and touring setups that need stable load control without committing to a fixed bag shape.

The CARRIE Cradle uses a pair of Wholegrain STIFF Straps to attach at the bars and compress the load, while the included 18L dry bag provides weather-focused storage with a lightweight, packable profile that’s easy to remove at camp or stops.

Key details that matter on the bike

1. Handlebar cradle + compression harness - Securely straps and cinches bulky, lightweight gear (sleep kit, layers) without relying on a rigid bag body
2. Included 18L taped-seam dry bag - Lightweight recycled polyester ripstop with a silicone coating and internal seam taping to help keep contents dry in wet conditions
3. Two mounting widths - Narrow and wide cradle positions to better match different handlebar setups and bag diameters
4. MOLLE-compatible attachment points - Multiple standard MOLLE mounting locations for adding compatible accessories or refining strap routing
5. Extra-long head tube retention cord - Helps lock the load position and accommodate a wide range of head tube shapes, from smaller diameters to deep-section aero head tubes
6. PET-coated panel - Added protection where the system contacts the bike, supporting durability for high-mileage gravel and mixed-surface use

Designed to fit with Wholegrain Cycles CLIFF Hanger for riders building a coordinated front luggage setup.
