Well made pack. Even the small is an inch too long for my bike. I got it squeezed in there though and will use it.

StarStarStarStarStar Great Stuff. Rough Tough Made in the USA

by
Ownership: a few months
Tech Knowledge: somewhat high

Pros

This is a tough bag that is well built. There are some really good hardware sourced and used on this bag. The polycoated frame straps are a nice touch that aids in preventing your frame from wearing due to strap contact. The frictions cinches are very convenient to use and adjust. I have Revelate products as well Apidura and I would say that the Revelate look like and feel like they are built a little bit tougher.

Cons

The don't have the "tailored" look of the Apidura stuff. Stitching doesn't have the clean look of the apidura, straight and robotic. These feel like they were sewn on machine by human hands which isn't a bad thing. The stitching does look strong.

Other Thoughts

I like these bags and highly recommend them.

StarStarStarStarStar A must have for bikers who wants to be prepared for any small repair and maintenance to keep their ride in good working order.

Pros

This frame bag allows you to organized your tools, tubes, and incidentals in full view with these giant zippers. The numerous frame straps keep the bag taught and everything in its place, even with the zippers open. Well designed and it's rugged construction makes it a good value

Cons

None so far

StarStarStarStarStar ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!

by
Ownership: two weeks
Tech Knowledge: average

Pros

I received the bag, and put it on my bike immediately to start a 4-1/2 day ride on the Katy Trail in Missouri. The zippered puch on the left side had easy access for my food supplies for each day, and the huge zippered compartment on the right held my pump and other supplies. Even though the bag was full, it did not rub my legs or impede my cycling. On the last day of the ride, we spent 2 hours riding in a steady rain. After the trip, I had to power wash the bag to get the water/limestone mix off the bag. The inside of the bag was dry on both occassons!! This is the best bag ever!!

Cons

I have not found any yet!

StarStarStarStarStar Great Top Tube Bag!

by
Ownership: a month
Tech Knowledge: average

Pros

Easy to install/hang on top tube. Easy to access when cycling because of zipper location and zipper pull loops.
Narrow design so does not bang knees while pedaling. Waterproof material and zippers.
Hangs high enough so water bottles/cages still very accessible.

Cons

No cons!!! I suppose I could complain about the price, but our Canadian dollar is just weak against the US dollar.

Other Thoughts

I do not know why this design of top tube bag is not available from a number of suppliers. Therefore I suggest you somehow 'get-it-to-market with higher visibility!

What about the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer ride in June in Toronto, Ontario. Thousands of cyclists will be there!!!!!

If you are ordering this style of bag, just be sure to measure the horizontal distance directly under your top tube, between seat post and front headset tube.
