From: £52.00

Handy storage for items needed on the go, in a place that’s instantly accessible.

A solid performer

Top tube and frame packs is the best in the market, after going through some alternatives I found Tailfin products to be the most robust, no nonsense and high quality stuff in the market to be used in Ultra Gravel races and training. Highly recommended.

Great Product Offering

I recently did my research into bikepacking bags, and came across Talfin. After researching the brand, taking measurements, I configured a top tube bag setup. When the kit arrived it was impressed with the quality and ease of installation without frame damage (although my frame is also wrapped). Having put them through the rigor of use I’m impressed with the size, waterproof materials and steadfast pulls and zippers. These products exceed expectations especially considering that there are a number of sub par bags on the market (having tried). Now to get a few more!

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.
