Fitting FAQs

Assembly requires a Torx T25 key (found on most multi-tools)

We’ve designed our products to fit the majority of bikes, from road to full-suspension. You can search our Reviews to see if another customer with the same bike is already using this product too. If you’re still unsure, contact our team for help and advice.

26″ Maximum Tyre Width - 4″ / 100mm

27.5″/650B Maximum Tyre Width - 3.5″ / 90mm

29″/700C Maximum Tyre Width - 2.9″ / 75mm

For help choosing your axle, see this page.

For the AeroPack - For riders with small frames or less than 100mm of exposed seatpost, we recommend using the AeroPack Extended Seat Post Connector. This replaces the standard connector and pushes the AeroPack back a further 50mm.

For Racks - We recommend selecting the ‘Long’ Top Stay when ordering your Rack. It offers the same extension as the AeroPack equivalent. For more information and images, click here.

Yes! We genuinely believe “the best bike packing bike is the bike you already own” therefore it was important that all our rack / AeroPack systems could be used with full suspension bikes. For the best experience, we recommend the AeroPack setup for full suspension bikes though. Using a unique articulated design each pivot contains replaceable plain bushings which allow it to adjust position as the suspension compresses. They will also work with road and gravel bike suspension systems such as Trek’s IsoSpeed and Cannondale’s Kingpin Suspension.

See this blog for further tips on fitting Tailfin products to full suspension bikes.

Yes, the quick-release seatpost connector is compatible with all seat posts- including dropper, carbon, and aero. An extra-long seat post strap is included with all shipments for deep-aero seatposts.

All our racks come with 3 choices of mounting option:

  1. Axle + Fast Release Dropouts - we ship you a rear axle to swap out on your bike, the rack then affixes to this axle in seconds, allowing it to be mounted or removed in seconds.
  2. Frame Mounts + Fast-Release Dropouts - we ship you mounts which screw into the frame eyelets on your frame, the rack then affixes to this mount in seconds, allowing it to be mounted or removed in seconds.
  3. Direct Mount - with this option, you screw the rack directly to your frame via the frame eyelets on your bike. This option is not fast-release, and will need to be unscrewed from frame when mounting or removing.

We have a comprehensive guide to the different options here.

Yes, all Tailfin Racks and AeroPacks come with security screws that allow you to lock to your axle, or frame mounts, depending on your chosen mounting option.

Yes, but you will need to add the 3rd party pannier adaptors to your order

Aeropack is a delight

Using the Aeropack now for a couple of months and I love it. Used the traditional saddle bags before that and the disadvantage of those is the shape of the bags and the fact you really have to push it in the bag. Things like shoes are terrible in those. In the Aeropack that is all much better.

It is also a lot more stable than these saddle bags. When you pick an Aeuropak or Aerorack I can only advise to go for the ones with the pannier mounts. I also thought I wouldn't use them, but it turns out that I will use them. And that has to do with the fact that I used the Aeropack for a commute and the laptop in the pack is not ideal. This works much better in a pannier bag.

Also one thing to consider if you still have to decide between the rack and the pack : the pack cannot be removed from the rack itself, which is directly attached. That means you kind of always pack the bag while attached to the bike or with the full Aeropack removed from the bike.

After having difficulties with my new axle, Tailfin did a great job delivering appropriate material.
