骑自行车探索偏僻地区时，请尽量少带装备，因为带得越多在上山时就要担负越多的重担。 例如，有些人没有选择帐篷，而是选择了篷布和一些电线杆作为庇护所。 Ultimate Direction 自行车防水布转换套件，在设置防水油布棚时不再需要立杆。

When exploring the backcountry on a bicycle, it’s only prudent to carry as little gear as you can, since you’re the one who’s going to be shouldering the load while you pedal your way through uphill trails. Instead of a full-fledged tent, for instance, some people just opt for a tarp and some poles for shelter. The Ultimate Direction Bike Tarp Conversion Kit goes one step further by eliminating the need for poles when setting up your tarp shelter.

该附件旨在让您用自行车代替立杆，将自行车的车把变成功能性立杆。 这是个好主意吗？ 我们不知道，需要市场来检验。只是这样做会让自行车在整个庇护所停留期间都无法使用。 不过，如果您想让旅行尽可能轻便，这是个好办法。

Designed to let you use your bicycle as a substitute for poles, the accessory turns your bike’s handlebar into functional trekking poles, so you can pitch your shelter on the same vehicle you use to get around in the wild. Is it a good idea? We don’t know. On one hand, you can leave the poles at home. On the other, it leaves your bicycle unusable the whole time your shelter stays up. If you’re willing to do what it takes to travel as light as possible, though, it may be a worthy trade.

Ultimate Direction自行车防水布转换套件可安装在自行车的车把上，将装备的FK Tarp固定在车把手上。它的设计适合各种类型和尺寸的自行车手把，同时可以将随附的带有两个拉线的维可牢尼龙搭扣附件固定到座椅上，进一步稳定自行车。设置好后，防水布可以用作功能性的庇护所，无论您是寻找阳光遮阴，还是遮雨遮雨，或者只是一个舒适的空间来小睡一会。

The Ultimate Direction Bike Tarp Conversion Kit is a foam accessory that mounts onto a bicycle’s handlebars, where it serves as a convenient place to secure the outfit’s FK Tarp in place of traditional poles. It’s designed to fit all types and sizes of bicycle handlebars, regardless of width, while an included Velcro accessory with two guy lines can be attached to the seat to further stabilize the bicycle. Once set up, the tarp can be used as a functional shelter, whether you’re looking for shade from the sun, cover from the rain, or just a comfy space to take a short nap.

根据Ultimate Direction的说法，转换套件和FK Tarp的组合构成了“市场上最轻便的自行车打包避难所系统。”虽然我们不能保证，但用金属杆替换泡沫配件确实需要很多费用。 

According to Ultimate Direction, the combination of the conversion kit and the FK Tarp makes for the “lightest bikepacking shelter system on the market.” While we can’t guarantee that, swapping in metal poles for a foam accessory does take a decent amount of heft from your gear bag.

要设置Ultimate Direction Bike Tarp转换套件，先使用Velcro配件通过座椅和座杆使自行车稳定。 一旦稳定站立，将泡沫塑料附着在车把上并倾斜，将泡沫塑料插入FK Tarp内部的登山杆口袋中，即可在前面方便地打开。这实际上使避难所比那些登山杖更容易使用。

To set up the Ultimate Direction Bike Tarp Conversion Kit, start by using the Velcro accessory to stabilize the bicycle using the seat and seat post. Once it’s standing steadily all on its own, attach the foam to the handlebars and pitch your shelter, inserting the foam into the trekking pole pockets inside the FK Tarp to create a convenient opening out in front.  From what we can tell, this actually makes setting up the shelter easier than using those trekking poles, as the foam should go in pretty easily since the bike is already stabilized, making it a really good alternative, provided you don’t mind not being able to ride your bike while you’re resting.

本产品理论上不能与FK Tarp以外的掩体一起使用，因为泡沫塑料可让您将车把固定到通常可容纳登山杖的防水布上的内置袋中。， 但是欢迎您尝试。

Can this be used with shelters other than the FK Tarp? We’re not sure, since the foam allows you to secure the handlebar to the built-in pockets on the tarp that usually accommodate trekking poles, so the design of your third-party tarp should be similar to make it work in the same effective manner. To put it simply, it probably won’t, but you’re welcome to try.
