Carbon bikes so want to avoid things like p clips

Re: Tailfin Aeropack

The reason for looking at a tailfin over other racks: no rack mounts is the main reason. I'm currently swapping between a 6L, 10L, and 15L saddle bag depending on whether I'm commuting or on a trip. The 6L is my goto commuting bag (but has to be packed correctly so i can fit my shoes, which are a si...

Tailfin Aeropack

Does anyone use a tailfin aeropack? I'm contemplating swapping out my various saddlebags for a Tailfin instead. What are your thoughts? Any drawbacks, besides the price? My main issue with saddlebags is that no matter the application (commuting or bikepacking), is it needs to be packed perfectly or ...

I'll get photos and number of teeth to you tomorrow. Just went to go get the bits out of the shed to take photos to find my wife has buried them under a bunch of her stuff and I can't be asked to move anything now.

Re: Custom Framebag Supplier?

Having had a look over them, I'm likely to go at the more budget end of the range. The bike-bags ones look ok apart from the horrible big logo. Is the a non-negotiable requirement? Otherwise an Alpkit one would do me fine I'd say. Their other stuff I've had has done me well in the past. I couldn't ...

Re: Custom Framebag Supplier?

I used bike-bag.co.uk. I ended up with an excellent cordura full frame bag with loads of tweaks and personalisations and it came out at just over 100 quid all in. I also used bike-bag.co.uk. As above, excellent full frame bag, quick turn around and mine came in around £60 (but I didn't add many fea...

Re: Looking for an odd-shaped framebag

I bought a custom frame bag from bike-bag UK. Reasonably priced (around £60), very good quality, and fast turn around time. Might be worth giving them a shout. https://www.bike-bag.co.uk/
