Great Top Tube Bag!

Bought this for my new e-gravel (Mondraker Dusty RR) bike after trying a few cheap models with velcro fixing. The bike came with the possibility for a fixed top tube mount for bags. Unfortunately the on/off button for the motor is directly in fornt of the mount - sth I only realized when I tried to fix the Tailfin bag - I could have looked at the very detailed specs provided on their website and could´ve measured before ordering... 🙂 But since the bottom of the bag is relatively flexible and soft it was not a problem to mount, half of the battery display is covered but that´s ok. The bag itself is abolutely waterproof, I use it for my daily 25k commute in every weather to store my phone and other stuff - it is light yet seems to be quite durable. The openig could be a bit bigger (longer) to get my phone easier in and out (the Samsung Galaxy s20 FE does not seem to be that big). Last but not least it was one of very few good looking bags, I especially love the flap opening! I can definitely recommend the top tube bag from Tailfin.

Superb top tube bag

Bought this bag on recommendation of Cade media and from a friend who has one. I've fitted it to the top tube using the torqs bolts and it's solid, maybe a little close to the stem bolts but no real issues. I've bought it to hold all my tools and spares/pump for an endurance event and it does that with room for a few chocolate bars. It's waterproof, I have the flap closure option, and repels my sweat drips very well. You can also use it for a phone charger as it has an opening for a cable. Overall premium product, underlined by the premium packaging, and it does the job well. 5 stars!

FAQs

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.
