Top Bicycle Saddle Bags for you to choose

Top tube bags have been in existence for some time now, initially popularized by triathletes and subsequently through the touring and bike packing fraternity. They create a fantastic option to handlebar bags or saddle bags because of their lightweight and convenience.

Now bike add-ons manufacturer Topeka have joined the marketplace using their gas tank, this new accessory for the large range of to peak Bicycle Saddle Bags and belongs to their top tube bag range which includes a various tri-bags along with a medium along with a large gas tank.

Clearly taking inspiration in the bike packing luggage making cottage industry, where individuals for example Revel ate Designs happen to be making their bicycle gas tanks for a long time, Topeka don't want to miss out on business obviously and thus have joined this growing market.

The very first gas tank Topeka make is really a medium-sized bag that measures 6.9x3x4.3 inches, meaning it sits quite nicely on the top from the tube with no danger of the knees catching it. Inside is really a single compartment having a mesh pocket; you will find no partitioning with this particular version.

It's three attachment points, one round the steered tube and 2 round the top tube, all Velcro, among the top tube accessories can be adjusted to let you work with a gusset or cable stop, there's a rubberized area on each strap which will help with keeping the bag stable when the Velcro is drawn tight, that is a nice touch.

The Topeka medium gas tank weighs in at in at 120g (4.22oz), that is slightly heavier compared to bigger Revel ate Vehicle's Gas Tank (approximately. 100g or 3.5oz), not a large amount thinking about the Topeka sells at $30 under the Revel ate. However, the Revel ate is really a more complicated design - having a tapering profile along with a dual zip which discloses a wider opening compared to simpler Topeka design.

Within the hands the Topeka feels well-crafted, having a water-resistant zip and padded sides, the inside is a fairly vibrant yellow which supports with finding anything inside.

The Topeka gas tank medium includes a capacity of .5L (30ci) that is perfect for holding a number of energy gels, your phone and secrets, along with a muli-tool. If you want to carry more, or in your touring or bike packing setup, you need to most likely consider the large Topeka gas tank, or even the Revelator one. However for most people the medium-sized gas tank is perfect. It ought to be water-resistant too, which is an added bonus, but I would suggest a water-resistant situation for any phone, just in case.

Overall the Topeka Medium Gas Tank is a superb accessory for any bike, whether that be for commuting (will be a handy spot to store secrets, id cards, a small jacket), longer charitable organization rides or included in a reckless touring or bike packing setup. Topeka items possess a good status which bike tank bag is only going to help continue this. The costs is nice too, where because the custom or cottage industry choices may well be a little better, lead occasions could be a little longer, in a nutshell this bag will suit many people.
