Are these sold individually or as a pair?
Fork Packs are sold individually.
How can I check if these will fit my bike?
First, check to see if your fork has triple or double bosses, then check the distance between these bosses (should be 64mm between two). Finally, refer to the fork manufacturer’s recommendations in terms of weight limits and suitability for carrying loads.
My bike’s fork doesn’t have mounts, can I use these?
Sorry, you wouldn’t be able to fit them. You need a fork with triple/double boss eyelets for the Fork Pack to fit.
What’s the minimum number of screws I can use to fit the mount?
We recommend fitting using all three for maximum security and to minimise any potential damage to Fork Pack or fork. You can fit using two screws but you must use the top two mounting points on the mount and there is a reduction in the maximum weight you can carry to 3kg.
My Alloy Rack / AeroPack has boss mounts, can I mount these packs to it?
Yes, although the weight limit will only be 4.5kg, lower than the 9kg that you would have if you upgraded your arch to one with pannier capabilities, to use with a set of Mini Panniers.
Can I use these mounts with my Tailfin Suspension Fork Mounts (SFMs)?
Yes, you can. We would recommend using three SFMs per side for maximum stability and strength. You can use the fork packs with just two (attach using the top and bottom position on the Fork Pack Mount) but the weight limit would be lower at 3 kg.
What is the mount made of?
The Fork Pack Mount is made from 7076-T6 aluminium alloy. This is CNC machined and hard anodised.
Can I fit panniers from other brands to this mount?
No. The Fork Pack Mount is only compatible with Tailfin Fork Packs.
Can I mount the fork pack to a third-party rack?
If the rack has triple boss fittings then yes, you can mount a Tailfin Fork Pack system.
Which size pack is best for gravel bikes?
Both 5 and 10 litre packs are compatible with gravel bikes. It depends on what you want to carry!
Will these fit the first-generation Cannondale Topstone?
No. The width between the bosses on the original Topstone Carbon fork (2019-21) is not compatible with a Fork Pack Mount.
I only have two bosses on my fork, will the Fork Pack fit?
Yes. As long as the two bosses are the standard 64mm distance between (the same as a water bottle cage mount) then you can fit the Fork Pack Mount. PLEASE NOTE the mount must be attached using the top two mounting points and there is a reduced weight limit of 3kg per Pack.
The bosses on my fork are at an angle. Can I use the fork pack?
We don’t recommend our Fork Packs if the bosses on your fork are at an angle (for example on the Mason Bokeh 2.0 and Surly Ogre). There is a chance of the pack touching the wheel, particularly the brake rotor. Bikes using a Klamper front brake may also experience this. You can however use our smaller volume Cage Packs and Cargo Cages.
What do you recommend to carry in the Fork Pack?
The Fork Pack is the ideal place to carry light and bulky items such as sleeping bags/mats, spare clothes, cook sets, or tents/bivi bags.
