Alba Optics x Maats: WEEKENDER

As you may know, Maats is home to independent, unique brands within cycling and Alba Optics is one of them. Its story began with the search for an original mould as their goal was to find a frame that was designed and produced in Italy during the 80s and bring it to life using new technologies, resulting in their first model: the Delta. 

Alba Optics always believed in a different type of activity, one that does not speak of performance and results but speaks of the quality of life. Their goal is not to finish first, but to get wherever you want, in any condition. And Maats fully supports this idea. 

Maats and Alba Optics have been partners for years and we thought now is a perfect moment to celebrate our partnership. We proudly announce that Pier Giorgio, one of the founders, will come to the Netherlands to celebrate our partnership with a ride in both Amsterdam and Rotterdam with some drinks after!

Create more space for bottles alongside a frame pack and convert two-bolt bottle cage mounts into three-bolt cargo cage mounts.

The Innovation Lab Bottle Cage Adapter makes it possible to lower or raise bottle cages by 55mm and converts standard two-bolt mounts into three-bolt mounts, allowing for larger cages and greater carrying capacity.

The bottle cage relocator simply bolts onto bottle cage mounts, creating 55mm of vertical movement to make it easier to fit bottles alongside a frame pack. Using the supplied bolts, the bottle cage is then attached directly to the bottle cage adapter. With three mounting points available, it is possible to convert standard two-bolt mounts into three-bolt mounts, capable of carrying cargo cages and increasing carrying capacity.

Made from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, the Innovation Lab Bottle Cage Adapter is low profile and unobtrusive. Some frames will require a single bottle cage relocator, while others (typically smaller frames) will require a pair to minimise overlap with any frame bags. The adapter is most effective at creating space when combined with side entry bottle cages and is compatible with all two and three bolt cages

The bottle cage adjuster is Precision Crafted from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium alloy and anodized for a scratch-resistant finish. Only the supplied bolts should be used, to ensure adequate clearance between the bottle cage adapter and the frame.

Materials: 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, anodized black; 3 x 7mm M5 hex-headed stainless-steel bolts

Precision crafted from a lightweight laminate developed specifically for Apidura, the bag is waterproof, and highly resistant to abrasions and tears. A hands-free air release valve allows for easy packing and compression and allows for access to contents without removal of the pack.
