Tailfins Frame Bags - www.tailfin.cc/product/frame-...
After three years of design, engineering and hard-fought testing, we've left no stone unturned to develop the world’s most advanced piece of technical bikepacking equipment. Proven by our R&D Division, we've ached over the minutiae, and obsessed on the process to deliver a radically different frame bag compared to anything that's come before.
Comprising nine unique half-frame and wedge-style models, as with any Tailfin product, the key emphasis is to provide the majority of riders, regardless of frame size, with options to fit. We are aiming this (first) range mainly at drop-bar riders, with dimensions optimised for narrower Q-factors associated with road and gravel bikes.
In this video, we run you through our complete guide to the Tailfin Frame Bag range, covering everything you need to know. We'll walk you through the different options, help you understand how to choose the suitable model, show you how to fit it onto your bike and discuss which bags and accessories go well with it.

I'm more than happy with the Tailfin top tube bag and downtube packs, so I just bought the new frame bag without hesitating a single moment. This is what I call thorough planning process and research, because most big manufacturers have all the necessary tools, machines and materials to make the perfect product, but just few of them try to give their best. Thank you for taking so much attention about the small details! Definitely waiting for your handlebar bag too, hope that you will design one in the future.

I've been looking at the Tailfin website at the dimensions of these packs - one thing that I feel needs adding to allow selecting the right pack to fit each bike is the headtube section height, to allow a optimal fit in to that area.

Hi Tailfin. Thank you for the presentation of your new kid on the block. Looking very good and they fit very well into the overall line-up of all of your bags. One question: What if, I bolt on the Tailfin top tube bag and would like to use one of your new frame bags. How does the frame bag attached? - This scenario wasn’t shown in the video. Thanks for clarification. Regards, Christian.

@TailfinCycling 3 ай бұрын

So, two options: You could screw top tube pack on first then ideally just run the frame pack strap through the tunnel of top tube pack OR in between the V-Mounts. If that doesn't work, then put frame bag on first (avoiding the screw bosses) then screw the top tube pack down on top of the straps.

Hi, can a litelock x1 go into one of the frame bags? And which one could fit a litelock x1? It looks like a great product, I currently fit the lock into a frame bag but I suffer from knee rubbing. If I could fit the lock into one of your bags I would consider buying the frame gab with top tube bag combo

@TailfinCycling 3 ай бұрын

Hi Dawn, if you take a look at one of our print at home templates, this will show you sizings and give you a rough guide on which lock you can fit. We haven't tested these bag with specifically with a Litelock X1 so wouldn't be able to confirm the fit for you I'm afraid.

My bike has the brake and shifter cable running into the downtube (top part). I think your images/content showed that the bag was flexible in certain parts aside from the V-mount section. Is it flexible enough to accommodate this so that the cables aren't unnecessarily stressed?

Everything looks like it's optimized for very short headtubes. I'm not a tall rider, but the section between the bottom of the top tube and the top of the downtube on my bike is 55mm. The dimensions listed on the website indicate that all but the largest frame bag are much smaller than that. This implies there would be a large air gap between the bag and the downtube. Is this expected?

They certainly look nice, but it's a shame for me that these frame bags don't properly fit mountain bikes and their different angles. Currently (as far as I know) there is only one brand that offers a range of frame bags for mountain bike and it would be nice to have another possibility on the market. After seeing so many R&D riders with specific frame bags on mountain bikes, I was really hoping these kind of product was about to be released.
