Best Quality Bike packing Equipment & Superior Customer Service

I came to know Tailfin through Bikepacking.com. I was impressed by engineering of their products and the quality. Recently ordered a 1.5 L top frame bag and was very satisfied by the quality and design. Their customer service is one of the best I have ever seen. They respond on time and care about their customers. They have quick delivery time and in case you need any bike packing bag as soon as possible, you just place an order and it will be at your doorstep within hours.

To summarize:

100% reliable, Best customer service, great products, expedited delivery, prompt service.

The pinnacle of Top Tube bags

The versatility and design features of the top tube bag are second to none.
I was fed up with top tub bags marking the lacquer after rides and having to polish out any marks, my ti frame was ok, but would still need buffing after other bags would rub and leave marks.

After using the Tailfin on gravel and MTB rides in sandy and wet conditions I'm delighted to say there's no hint that a bag was used. Perfect! This is exactly why I purchased this product, my other bags will be going on eBay...

The fact that I can use either bolted to top tube bolts on bikes that do have them, or straps on others is extremely useful. Additionally the option to use a longer strap on my MTB is ideal.

I love that I can position the top tube bag away from the fork steerer and not have to use the stem spacers as a fixing point.
Cleaning the bag after a race where a gel spilled inside was hassle free.
Such a simple product, but elevated so well with these clever design features.
Can't recommend highly enough.

Tailfin top tube bag 1.1litre zip closure.

Great little bag. Bolts on to top tube mounting very well. If you have no top tube bosses, the straps it to comes with are very good & hold the bag rock solid. Therefore it isn't necessary to fasten around the stem like other bags. Room in it for pump, multi tool, phone & energy gels. Looks good. Smaller 0.8litre was a bit too small for phone & pump so I returned it & got the 1.1 litre.
Appears very well made. You get what you pay for.
Thanks Tailfin.

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that it was easy to mount on your bike and that the straps hold it securely in place. It's great that you were able to fit all your essentials in the bag. Thank you for choosing Tailfin!

Yes, the V-Mounts can accommodate any standard 20mm width cargo style strap. However be aware that many cargo straps use a longer prong that could catch skin or clothing.

Absolutely. Even when pulled very tight the natural stretch of our Cargo Strap system exerts minimal force to the frame.

You should base your choice on which bike you are mainly going to use and also how much storage you would typically need. Our 1.1 Litre Top Tube Packs are designed to fit almost any style of bike so would be our recommendation to be used on multiple bikes.

Our Zip Top Tube Packs offer the narrowest profiles so are perfect for riders who typically suffer from knee rub from top tube packs. They also offer the most secure storage to carry valuables on rough surfaces. Our Flip Top packs allow for rapid access and great visibility of contents, perfect if you want constant access to food, phone or camera whilst on the move. Flip Tops also offer slightly better weather resistance if riding in constant storm conditions.

No! When attached correctly the soft rubber of the V-Mount grips the frame so well that there is zero likelihood of movement.

We were at pains to ensure that all sizes of Top Tube Pack can accommodate a standard iPhone or Android equivalent, even the smallest 0.8 Litre pack. If you have a larger (Plus) style phone you will need to look at the 1.1 Litre or 1.5 Litre Top Tube Packs.

Within reason you can carry any weight in a Top Tube Pack. The limit would be volume.

Although the packs have been shaped to fit perfectly on the top tube the V-Mount system will allow you to fit a Top Tube Pack anywhere (except forks). We would recommend this only for Zip opening packs as a Flip Top opening would not be as secure in a vertical orientation.

The straps supplied with the Top Tube Packs are low profile so shouldn’t interfere with standard frame pump fittings.

As with all Tailfin soft goods we recommend that they be washed with warm soapy water if you want to clean them (although we like a good dirt patina!)

No, the rubber V-Mount covers are pre-cut to allow screws to pass through neatly.
