Very good ramen bag, holds very well no wobbling or anything else, opening and closing while the ride works smoothly. You don't mind the rain, everything stays dry.
I would buy again at any time
I have a very early version of the carbon rear rack, two 22l panniers and the front fork bags. The products are simple to use, robust, secure and don’t rattle about like the cheaper panniers I have on my “shopping” bike. I particularly like the fact that Tailfin offer a comprehensive set of spare parts which mean if something fails (I trod on an empty pannier and broke the plastic stay) you can just buy a replacement without having to write off the whole thing. On top of the products their customer service is exemplary. Swift, courteous and helpful responses to all my enquiries and a no quibble returns process (I bought a downtube bag that didn’t fit) make them a joy to deal with. Would recommend to others, will defo buy again.
I ordered the tailfin rack with pannier option and one 16 litre bag with laptop holder that I use for a 12 mile commute and couldn’t love it more. It doesn’t move at all, the bag is light and it’s so easy to install and use. I love it so much I ordered a 10 litre bag as well as I wanted the option of a smaller one. The locking set that came with it didn’t have a key that fit it but I contacted them and I received one next day and a new hat as a gift! I am hooked on Tailfin they are so good and my mid guards fit with it perfectly so no issues there.
Never really got away with a seat pack; made the bike unwieldy, awkward shape, hard to pack properly, always felt it when shifting my body weight back off the saddle on steep drops…
Been procrastinating over an AeroPack for ages, took a punt and Love it.
Good buying guide and video tutorials, beautifully packaged, easy to fit to bike and when out on Adventures, I simply don’t notice it!
Quality!
Massive says it all. room for waterproof jacket/bars/keys/phones/glasses.
Easy fitted . Massive
I'm a female endurance cyclist with awkward proportions, meaning I ride bikes with basically no clearance on my seat post over long distances, often in places where help could be hours away. I want kit I can rely on, and Tailfin's commitment to engineering superb gear and offering unbeatable customer service has won them a repeat customer who recommends them to anyone who will listen. The luggage rack is a game changer for small bikes, or bikes with little clearance,and I couldn't have asked for better support in making the kit work for me. I can't wait to take it on more adventures.
Will be having my 3rd cycle tour with my tailfin set up and it's made such a difference in stability especially when we hit rough sections on our tours ... just an excellent bit of kit... would and have recommended tailfin to many of my cycling club mates.
Bought both products size small. The Top Tube Bag 0,8 still touches the stem of my Ribble Gravel Ti when mounted directly. Slim but roomy enough for my purposes. Fastening alternatives are provided. Have not had the time yet to test it extensively, but it looks like a top product. There probably are cheaper ones, but in that quality range other brands charge the sanme. Would sure buy again.
The cages in small are really small, especially the (removable) mini bottom mount. Salsa EXP Series Anything Cage Bag just about fits, especially the straps. Note that you have to buy straps separately - I really feel they could have been included at that price.
Apart form the size (yes, I could have tried before buying) excellent make and super-stylish design. Again quite a bit of money but seems well worth it.
Reliable, super speedy deliverance straight from tailfin without any extra custom fees for delivery into EU.
All in all super happy with products and service.
I ordered the wrong axle for my bike. I sent a message to Tailfin who replied within minutes. They then sent the correct part with a new hat.
The best service I have ever received. Thank you Tailfin.
I have fitted my Tailfin and it fits perfectly. I will use it when I do Bike min stop US this summer, 5650k.
I bought a top tube bag from Tailfin and was so pleased with it I immediately bought tow more for my other bikes. Say no more.
The axle is a little bit too short to connect the tailfinn very well onto my Commencal Meta HT. The width of the frame plus Derailleur-hanger plus Thread-Peace for the Axle would have to have a little bit longer axle. I´m talking about ape 2mm. So I´m connecting the tailfinn, but on the left side the rack ends straight with axle but should stay in for one or 2mm.
The good: firmly attached to the rack, no rattling or moving while cycling. Waterproof.
Could be better: needing to undo 4 straps to get into the bag, doesn’t sit well on surfaces other than the rack when you take it off, side pocket doesn’t fit an iPhone.
My bike is small so I’ll probably have to get the longer rack top piece for it to sit better, just haven’t wanted to spend the $$ yet as it’s not cheap to replace! Wish I’d known this before buying the rack so I would’ve gotten the long one but live and learn.
I have bought the alloy rack + bags.
High quality and perfect fit.
Got great support when questioned details. Offered a swap to long top stay for free.
I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend Tailfin
Nice looking Top Tupe Bag...Super Quality, for everyday use
Helpful and attentive
And the product is ace.
This is the best top tube bag i have owned. It's very well made and is the most secure on the bicycle that i have used. It comes with both straps or bolts and I have used it both ways on each of my bicycles and it doesn't wobble at all even when it is fully loaded. Would 100% recomend and I am looking to buy a second one for my other bicycle so i dont have to keep unbolting from my one and strapping it to the other.
I use the aluminum carrier with multiple hubs and I am very happy with it. The quality is good and the delivery was very fast.
I bought the Extended Seat Post Connector with my Aeropack so I could adapt it to different bikes if needed but actually I leave it attached to the Aeropack all the time as I appreciate the extra clearance it provides. It's intended use is for small frames and dropper posts but I love having it on my size L Canyon Grizl, which is my primary bike for long trips.
The Tailfin rack system is brilliant (as you can read in many reviews) and thoughtfully designed down to minute details. What was a pleasant surprise for me was the quality of the service. The Tailfin team helped me get the system tailored for my purposes and on the right very quickly. I’m very happy with the purchase.
Best bag
Well made quality products for all your bike packing needs. Highly recommend.
I wanted a light setup to quickly/easily carry gear around town and to yoga. This setup fits the bill perfectly! It's lightweight and easy to quickly detach to take off at my destination.
I have not tried the Equipment yet.
