FAQ

I’m undecided on pack size, how can I check?

Use the specifications above or print our template and cut to size

Can you use 3rd party straps to fit?

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.

Is it safe to cinch on a carbon frame?

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

What size pack if I have multiple bikes?

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.

Which should I choose? Flip or zip?

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.

Do I need to use protective tape on my frame?

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

What size phones can I fit?

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.

Is there a weight limit for what can be carried?

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

Can I fit the pack elsewhere? Seat tube etc

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.

What if I use a frame pump?

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

How do I look after it? Clean it?

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!)See our cleaning guide here.

Do I need to cut the V-Mount if I want to screw it in place?

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