Tiger Wall UL2 Bikepack: Packing and Setup for Riders

Quick answer

Pack the Tiger Wall UL2 Bikepack by separating the tent body, fly, and poles into your handlebar roll, frame bag, and seat pack, then pitch it by staking the corners, inserting the Shortstik poles, and clipping the body and fly. This keeps weight balanced and setup fast.

Step-by-step: Packing and pitching the Tiger Wall UL2 Bikepack

1. Pack the tent body and fly in your handlebar roll: Lay the tent body and fly flat, fold them to the width of your handlebar roll, and roll tightly. Secure with the roll's straps. Common mistake: stuffing them loosely, which wastes space and can cause the roll to sway. Check that the roll is centered and tight before riding.
2. Stow the Shortstik poles separately: Place the 12-inch pole segments in a frame bag or strap them to your fork. Keep them away from sharp tools. Common mistake: packing poles inside the handlebar roll, which can create pressure points and damage fabric. Label pole bag or use a stuff sack to avoid losing segments.
3. Choose a flat, debris-free pitch site: Clear rocks, sticks, and roots. Orient the tent with the door away from wind if possible. Common mistake: pitching on uneven ground, which strains zippers and seams. Walk the site barefoot to catch hidden debris.
4. Stake out the four corners: Drive stakes at a 45-degree angle, tensioning the corners evenly. Common mistake: over-tightening one corner, which distorts the floor and makes pole insertion difficult. Leave slight slack for fabric to settle.
5. Insert the Shortstik poles: Assemble the pole segments and feed them through the sleeves or clips, then seat the ends in the grommets. Common mistake: forcing poles through twisted sleeves, which can tear fabric. Ensure poles are fully seated before clipping.
6. Clip the tent body and attach the fly: Clip the body to the poles, then drape the fly and secure it with clips and stakes. Common mistake: forgetting to stake the fly's vestibule, causing flapping in wind. Pull fly taut but avoid over-stretching.
7. Care and repacking on the trail: Shake out debris before packing. If wet, dry the tent at home before storage. Use the dry bag stuff sack and daisy chains to secure on your bike. Common mistake: storing wet, which leads to mildew. Carry a small cloth to wipe down the fly.
