TC2261B Aero Wedge Pack with Strap Mount, Medium, black | bike-wedges

Purchased this under-seat pack after the zipper broke on my previous saddle bag. Installation is quick and easy. Though it does seem the seat-post strap Velcro isn’t stuck to itself much. Despite this, it’s remained attached without issue. It does have a tendency to slide down the post, causing the bag to tuck further under the seat, making it difficult to access the zipper. Putting a bit of rubber on the inside of the strap would likely solve this. The straps that attach the bad under the seat are a bit long, though a remedied that with the help of a little zip-tie to hold them coiled up. The pouch size is great. It holds my phone, wallet, and keys when I ride, along with a tire patch kit and multi-tool. I would note that the current iPhone 14 Pro Max is about as big of object it it’ll fit (without opening up the saddle bag extension). It’s just the right size to carry the things I need along for the ride, without weighing me down. It’s a great saddle bag that’s just the right size for everyday riding.

The wedge under your rear bicycle seat has a humble function--to transport the stuff you need to get back on the road in case you get a flat or another mechanical problem. You wouldn't think making one would be rocket science, but, in fact, these items do actually differ significantly one from the other. Most I've used are decently well made, but the difference is in the little extra things you might not have thought to ask about before you pick one up! PROS *Perfect size. Like Goldilocks: not too big ,not too small, just right! A small-size pack is not going to hold everything you need and a larger one is not going to fit neatly under the seat. When packed carefully, this holds: two extra tubes (when I ran over some briar thorns in California and instantly created Swiss cheese out of TWO tubes I realized, really, you need two!), patch kit, three tire irons, a multi-tool and $20 extra cash. *Attachment to the top portion of the seat uses velcro strips and buckles rather than a plastic "T." At first I liked the plastic T design, but I later realized this design can be very easy to install under some seats and a pain (possibly even impossible) under others. I would rather have one that won't create an issue if I switch it to another bike or get a new saddle. *Two nice elastic rings under the wedge for additional storage. I use it for the Lezyne Pressure Drive Hand Pump . Wow, amazing...you don't need a pump on your frame if you use this combination of products! *An attachment point on the rear for a light. Since I occasionally ride at night (sometimes unexpectedly if my ride goes longer than expected) this is a MUST HAVE. I simply put a red flasing LED light on the back of my wedge pack and if I need it, I switch it on. Really, there's no reason a wedge pack should ever be built without this attachment and thank you, Topeak, for understanding that. *Zipper appears strong and I expect it will take abuse. I abuse it by riding in rain, packing bag tightly etc. I will post if it ever breaks, if not, you can figure it is still going strong! CONS *Doesn't come in pretty colors. This replaces a really pretty blue one which matched my bike...but that saddlebag didn't have many of the features of this one, so out it goes. I also want to give a tip for those who were disappointed that wallet, cell phone and keys don't fit in this along with your emergency supplies. The purpose of this bag is not to hold that stuff. It's darn inconvenient since this type of bag is not designed to be easily opened to pull out one or two things and it's not designed for easy-off, easy-on if you go into a store. What you want is something in the handlebar bag family, for example, I have this one: Sunlite Handle Bar Bag, 2011 Model, Small, Black . You can put your wallet, keys, a snack and cell phone in here. If you have to lock your bike and go inside, you take it off in just a few seconds and carry it with you.

I've had this back strapped to my bike for three years now. I purchased the one with two straps because I wanted to avoid the plastic clip. This is a great pack and holds a lot. I like the cornucopia shape; the large opening makes it easy to use the pack. The velcro straps work well keeping the pack attached to the bike. I don't have any problems with it moving around or rubbing against my legs when I ride. The back of the pack has a strap sewn onto it so you can attach a light/reflector if you wish. In my pack I have a spare inner tube, a large multitool, an innertube patch kit and two tire levers. There is a mesh pocket on the rear flap that is great for holding small extras. I put a spare battery and a work gadget that is a bit smaller than a lighter. I also can fit my Razor phone in here too. I commute to/from work fairly regularly so I open/close it often. The zipper is very sturdy. I have yet to try it in expanded mode. This pack is well constructed and roomy. The large mesh pocket is very nice feature. I highly recommend this pack. Edit: I'm taking away one star because this is not waterproof. I rode home on slightly wet roads and noticed there was wetness inside when I took out my cell phone. I still like the pack though; it holds a lot.

I like this bag a lot. I got the medium bag and it has lots of room especially when you expand the bag. Nice fabric, zippers and straps. Fits very discreetly under my seat.

I believe having a nice saddle pack is a must if you are in to any type of cycling weather it is road, cross country, or mountain biking. Everyone should carry an extra tube, some patches, a multi-tool, and a couple other odds an ends that come down to personal preference. Without a small pack you may find yourself in for a long walk home or a long trip back to the car. I prefer to keep my necessities in a small saddle wedge pack and Topeak makes some of the nicest bags out there. This bag is made of a nice sturdy 1200 denier. I believe it has a thin piece of plastic which is sewn into the inside to create a backbone for the bag. The back of the bag has a strip of Scotchlite Reflective material which makes it light up when a light hits it. It is held on to the bike by two quick release buckles that attach to the seat frame and a sturdy Velcro strap that attaches around the seat post. If you need a little extra space it has an expansion zipper which will add a decent amount of space. It is more than enough for an additional tube. It has a loop on the back which allows you to clip on a bike light. On the bottom they added a couple pieces of elastic that could hold an emergency poncho just fine. I do not think you could find a much nicer bag to keep the essentials. All of this weights in at 4 1/2oz. If this review was helpful please click the link that says so. I did not receive any discount or anything in exchange for my review. I try to review all items that I purchase, are of the greatest quality, and that I believe deserve to have others know how great a product it is.

My use: I mountain bike in Colorado, and ride my street bike to work. This fits my sunglasses and clear eye protection in protective cases, keys wallet and phone, 3 Kind Bars / similar items, compact bike repair multitool and tube repair kit, but it appears very compact, air streamed. It's compatible with my rear wheel rack. I haven't used it in the rain or cold yet, but the design looks good for both. Three clips to install or remove from the seat frame make a nice win-win of secure attachment and ease of use. Probably one should empty it or unclip and take with them in urban areas since anyone could do those steps. Zippers seem excellent quality. Materials seem stout, not likely to rip or break. Expansion zipper is a nice feature I have not needed for the few things I stow. Perfect for rides that don't require stowing change of clothes or picnic or a second water bottle or items for work other than a flash drive.

Good size. But very expensive

The Topeak Aero Wedge Velcro Pack is made of 1200 Denier Polyester, which should protect the saddle bag against the elements. The bag is shaped nicely, when mounted it fit up close to the saddle. The medium sized Aero Wedge has a roomy main compartment that is expandable up to 30% more. There is also a separate pocket for storing misc stuff or tools. For security, the saddle bag features 3M reflective strips. In my garage, the reflective strips are very noticeable. Overall impression of the Topeak Aero Wedge is that it is a well made saddle bag. Slightly bigger than the small Bontrager saddle bag. The quick release straps with buckles make mounting easy using the rails on the saddle. I like this better than the straps on the Bontrager bag. The one drawback to the Topeak Aero bag is that the label has a Prop 65 warning . I am not sure why a saddle bag contains harmful chemicals but it is a tad concerning.

Prima tas

Can be expanded if needed, but large enough to stow a phone and a small bike tool. Likely could also stow a tube and repair kit if expanded. Water resistant and seems of good quality. Attaches firmly and is unobtrusive.

Bolsa genial para el sillín. Tiene buena capacidad con la cremallera cerrada y se puede ampliar en caso de necesidad. Tengo varias de estas en casa bici y van perfectas.

Excellent item and good value for money. Secures well and large enough for iPhone XS and spare inner tube. Good quality also so should last well.

This bag is very versatile and provides heaps of storage room. In its standard layout it easily houses a spare 29" tube, 3 tyre levers, a valve removal tool and a multi spanner toll and still has room to spare. But if you need to carry anything else it is expandable to allow more items to be carried. Added to this is the reflective safety strip across the lid and a mounting point for my tail-light. All of this adds up to make this a great seat bag.
