The FreeRadical Kit converts virtual any 26" bike to an Xtracycle.
The kit has been slightly updated since the original one with improved mounting for the freeloader bags which attach via small screw bosses rather than with straps wrapping around the chainstays - much more secure.
See our Xtracycle Info page for more details. Bike not included.
This kit is simply the 26" FreeRadical Kit without V-Racks, Freeloaders or Snap Deck. What's the point in this? Simple - you can still do the main 'foundation' conversion to your regular bike but customise your own fittings or fit V-racks etc that you already own.
Everything you see in the main photo is included.
Already got a Surly Big Dummy? Lucky you! So you'll probably be needing one of these Longtail Kits.
These plug directly in to the Big Dummy's frame and allow you to use most of the accesories that are available for the Xtracycle.
Kit contains V Racks, Freeloader Bags (x2) and a Snap Deck.
That annoying 'ping' when one of your Freeloader straps has a fight with your spokes and the poor 'c' shaped clip (the Slacker Clip) gets shredded and spat out onto the tarmac.
The hunt around haberdashery websites of the world is over - we've got replacements of these small but vital parts at Practical Cycles. Sold individually for £2.00 or 6 for £10.00 (choose from menu below)
Replacement buckles and Velcro for your FreeLoader Bags!
Kit includes:
- 1 Male: Works on FreeLoader strap or V-rack with Velcro.
- 1 Female with Ladderlock: This is the replacement buckle you need for your right-side FreeLoader straps. It will also work for your left-side V-rack Velcro. Unlike the "FreeLoader Buckle, Female, no ladderlock," this buckle is adjustable. That's what the "ladderlock" means.
- 1 Female with NO Ladderlock: This is the replacement buckle you need for your left-side V-rack Velcro. IMPORTANT: this buckle will not work for your right-side FreeLoader straps, because it is non-adjustable. For the FreeLoader strap itself, you'll need the Ladderlock Buckle.
- 2 slacker clips
(doesn't include any velcro or strap as suggested by one of the pictures!)
You've bought your Xtracycle Kit and you've dismantled the donor bike all over the kitchen floor and then you realise you haven't got a chainstay bridge on your bike. Relax, you just need an extra FAP so that you can use the one supplied with your Freeradical Kit and this one to sandwich the chainstays between the two!
It has an adhesive padded backing to protect your chainstays and a long bolt with Nyloc-nut.
If you have a 700c Freeradical Kit you can sometimes have problems with fatter tyres rubbing the underside of the snap deck. Plug these into your Freeradical frame and you can adjust the height of the V-Racks and hence the snap deck height too - no more rubbing!
They are also useful on 26" Freeradical kits too if you are running really chubby tyres - gain that extra clearance and avoid the rub!
