Everything Right at Your Fingertips

The Tailfin bags are a must for me. I have the one with the flap and I really like how easy it is to access my phone, snacks, or tools while riding. And it’s waterproof to boot!

Flip top on top

Absolutely phenomenal top tube bag. Whether I’m using it for a phone and wallet, or gels and a battery pack- the bag is the perfect size for the job. Bolts securely to my top tube and the flip top makes one handed access a breeze. Cannot recommend enough!

Small Drop Bar Bag

I've found the small drop bar bag extremely useful in my daily commute to work. The latching system lets me compress my bag significantly and is only limited by the size of the bike. The only complaint I can give is that my small bike restricts the bag from going further laterally but this is more due to the bike than the bag. On a side note I'd recommend putting a heavy narrow object in the bag when first trying to determine if there would be any rubbing between the bag and the front tire. My first time adjusting the bag on the bar I mistakenly filled the bag completely to try and determine it's location but when I actually used it the load I had in the bag wasn't even and the center of the bag dipped to a point and ended up rubbing a little on the tire. No damage was done but now i have a worn area on the bag itself.

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.
