I have tubus racks and ortleib bags and i like them. But the tailfin system is better thought through with far more configuration options. I got mine for bikepacking with a full suspension xc bike. With my gravel bike i used a seat bag but no go on full suspension. The aero pack was the right product. Swiveled from the seat tube so the Tessa suspension was no problem. The had the sram eagle xo through axel adapter so nice job there too. Not sure there’s another under seat option for a rear suspension mountain bike
I love this piece. The holder at the fork is discreet nothing woobles. Super quality and nice engineering work. Need more of this stuff.
Excellent bit of kit, good quality, well made, plenty of space to fit the essentials in.
Top Quality. Easy to fix it with the Thrue Axel.
High Quality Framebag. There are slightly lighter bags on the market, but probably no as durable as this ones. 3,6 L fits my bikesframe perfectly. Carbon strings keep the bag in shape, I experienced no knee rubb. This was one of my key criterea for buying the Tailfin frame bag.
Despite the problem I had with the detachment of a part of the joint of the bag (which was already sent to me the new bag), the frame is very well made, light, solid, easy to assemble and keeps the bag stable, avoiding the oscillations of normal saddle bags.
Excellent quality top tube bag. Stays stable and doesn't damage the frame. I've tried a few and this is hands-down the best, without a doubt.
I got the 1.1L and the 1.5L. The 1.1L is perfect for my road bike, while the 1.5L is on the chunky side and might be a little big for that bike but it works perfectly for my gravel bike.
Once mounted, the aeropack becomes an integral part of the bike. No movement, no swaying, no noise, no wear. Zero issues on a couple thousand kilometers so far. Waterproof in full Scottish conditions. Doesn't weight that much more than a comparably sized, antiquated seat pack. Apparently it's also aero, lol
Great for nutrition. I appreciate its sturdiness while on the go. As unobtrusive as you can get in the saddle. Occasional rubs out of the saddle.
This is gear that lives up to its legendary reputation for quality and durability.
J'utilise l'aeropack et le rackpack selon mes sorties.
Le rackpack est plus polyvalent car je peux utiliser plusieurs sacs que j'ai adapté.
Je n'ai rien à dire sur les avantages des produits qui sont bien identifiés par le fabriquant.
Ce qui devrait être amélioré selon moi :
Le poids du sac, la poche zip de droite trop petite, afin d'adapter toutes les lumieres du commerce une languette devrait être inversée sur les deux, rendre démontable les sangles de serrage.
Attention pour ceux qui ont comme moi un petit cadre, les sacoches arrieres ont automatiquement un angle prononcé.
I have the carbon air pack because it’s smooth to use easy to pack and very stability I’m my bike. I have used it for my longest ride ever 5723k cross USA an it worked very well. It’s easy to order from you and the support are professional.
We're so happy to hear that it has been a good addition to your bike, and that it was able to support you on your incredible 5723k ride across the USA. Congratulations on this amazing achievement. Happy cycling!
This is primarily regarding the top tube bag, though I did order and sadly return a frame bag that was too big. Both have superb craftsmanship, maintain their shape well, and the top tube bag mirrors the head angle so well that I am sure the bike is more aero with it. The zipper is easy to operate one handed, as advertised. I mention the Endurace below, which this is on the most, but also did some bikepacking on my Pivot 429trail with this bag and it worked great there too.
I will definitely be purchasing more products from tailfin.
1.1L bag direct mounted to Salsa Cutthroat. No flop or shift while riding. Big enough without being in the way.
Bought the luggage rack with new axes and bags - everything fits perfect.
Found your Top Tube Bag – Flip on YouTube and it is really the best Top Tube Bag I ever had. Thanks for the quality and the friendliness of your service staff.
I have tried a number of top tube bags, including Apidura, but Tailfin is the best IMO. Most bags come with some sort of velcro mounting option for bikes without top tube mounts, but from my experience none work very well (even with grip tape applied). The bag always moves around and I find myself frequently readjusting things, very annoying. On the other hand, Tailfin nailed it with their V-mount system. Best-in-class mount and nothing moves. The bag itself is solid as well and holds its shape on the bike.
improve the shoulder carrying strap system
Hi there, sorry to hear you think our carrying strap system could be improved. Please feel free to get in touch via email ([email protected]) to provide us some more details as to how we can improve this product. We would love to hear your thoughts.
Many thanks,
Amy
I’ve given them a good test now and couldn’t be happier. Used for gravel and bike packing, they don’t move at all, fit perfectly on my bike, fantastic quality zips - easy to open and no snagging. I’ve ridden in heavy rain and they’ve keep everything dry. I’m looking forward to adding to my collection, fork bags will be next.
Fantastic products and service. Can only recommend these products 👍
I went looking for a bolt on top tube bag and found Tailfin. I ended up purchasing the 0.8L top tube and 1.8L frame bag. The quality is great and the bags fit perfect and just like the online fit test shows.
The top tube zip bag is a well thought out product that i can carelessly put on my bike without having to worry about stability, rigidity or damage to the top tube.
Really like the bag. Very stable using the ties. Excellent access with the catch opening. Went for the biggest size. Which is spot on. Would recommend.
