The Quick Click device on the Topeak Aero Wedge seat bag insures rapid installation and removal of the bag. The bag provides enormous space for all the items required to repair tires be the tube or tubless with additional room for items like sun tan lotion, CO2 cartridges, money, etc. Its a highly versatile bag, essential for long rides.
I bought this to use on my gravel bike so I could have one with repair stuff for gravel tires and another with road tire supplies for when I put road wheels on the bike. Instead of switching tubes and stuff our of one bag when I switch wheels, now I change out the seat pack. Easy peasy. The only nit I have to pick is that, since the pack takes up seat post space, the tail light needs to go on the pack which should provide a surface that faces toward the following traffic. Instead, it faces slightly downward which affects the distance the light can be seen. Tried adjusting the mount to make it more upright without success. Don't have this problem with the model that hangs from the seat rails. Still, it holds everything I need (got the medium for gravel tubes and tubeless stuff, small for road stuff), is well constructed, and makes switching a breeze.
Purchased new Topeak Wedge large to replace a existing Topeak strap bag that I had used for many years. Bag is sturdy, well made and has just the right amount of space for my needs.
Best of all, the Click attachment system is a solid mounting system. Bag is very stable with no sway. About 400 miles in on dirt roads and it has performed flawlessly. Please note, attachment might not work on all saddles due to rail width and seat post clamp location. Tested it on my road bike and I was not able to mount due to the issues above,
I've owned two wedge bags and the main zip pull has sheared off on both. It appears to be a weak point and there is no way of threading a piece of wire through anywhere in place of the zip pull. The bag is an excellent idea. Does anyone know of another bag which would fit the seat wedge fitting? Thank you.
I've been quite satisfied with the Topeak Aero Wedge Pack. It's large and roomy. Inside I ususally carry a tire tube, 4 oz. bottle of Orange Seal, tubleless plug kit, CO2 cartridge, sunscreen, chain wax, rotor tool, a few hex keys, emergency poncho and house keys... and there is still a bit of room left if I need to jam a few more small items in there.
The quick click fixer is a nice feature. It holds the bag in place with little to no movement while riding. Most of the time I'm unaware that the bag is there.
This bag is not waterproof, but it's quite water resistant. I've been out in pouring rain and the outside of the bag will get soaked, but very little water gets into the bag. The zipper is solid, no issues.
The only thing I don't like so much is the loop for a rear light. You're pretty much restricted to lights that clip-on, and the light tends to hang very low. This could be an issue if you have mimimal clearance between the bag and your rear tire.
Overall, if you need a large, reliable, water-resistant (not waterproof) saddle bag I can definitely recommend the Topeak Aero Wedge Pack.
Big enough to carry 2 tubes / 2 cartridges without looking like a Samsonite. You really get 2 for the price of 1 if you buy the extra mounting clamp for your other bike; the no-bounce, quick release clamp lets you switch between bikes in seconds. Best of all the sturdy bike light strap keeps your rear light in a maximum visibility horizontal position. No rain cover, but if you spray with water proofer you can stop worrying about surprise showers.
The options to fit the quick release clip bags to the Ergon saddles are fairly limited, but this one does well. I removed the seat tube velcro loop as it got in the way when using the dropper, and the bag has plenty of rigidity to not need that anyway. The clip does get a little locked up when dirty, so getting it released can be a bit fiddly, but overall, a solid option.
I bought this bag because I have a number of vintage steel bikes. I try to ride them all in rotation and moving spares and tools from bike to bike was a chore. With the quick mounting system this is now very easy to move from bike to bike and capacity is good. I would prefer a more vintage look but, hey, this is practical.
A smidge smaller than expected, but secure and the quick release is very convenient. Still large enough to get roadside repair kit and CO2 cartridge
I have a road bike, mountain bike, 29er, and Fat Tire Bike. I have used different sized bags on each bike. I am amazed at the comments about the clips breaking. I have never had one break ever and have crashed on off road biking more than once. The only way that the clips could break after 4 or 5 rides is they were not installed correctly or did not fit the seat correctly? My only complaint is the zippers do wear out, but what zipper does not. I am probably guilty of putting too much in them which probably is why the zippers break. Don't change anything on these bags.
Bought this to replace similar saddle bag. Was hoping for one that is easier to access by being able to unclick and remove. My seat post is aero, so not much room to access the rails. Rails too wide for this bags clip system.
This is a well made bag, sturdy and easy to install. Seat release clip allows easy removal. Expandible by unzipping sides. Good use of space.
Awesome bag! Carries everything we need when riding. I also installed a tail light on the door.
The bag is very easy to install and holds a good amount of necessities. In fact, I'm getting ready to purchase one more for another bike.
I already have this same bag. I bought a second one for son's bike. This allow you to move the bag to other bike with little effort.
It fits my bike well. I have one on all of my bikes.
I use all of the three different sizes on my bikes. I am a serious rider that puts lots of miles on road bikes, mountain and 29ers. I like the fact that they are so simple to install and just as easy to take on and off your bikes. They are very durable and last a long time. I am amazed at the reviews where people complain that the bag fell off or the clip broke. If the clip broke it was because it was not installed correctly on the bike seat, and if you had the strap attached on your seat post correctly it could not fall off even if your clip broke? If your clip assembly did not fit the seat why would you try to use it? I have 5 different brand of bikes and seats and these fit all of them great. I am very happy with this design and will continue to use them.
Well Built. Zipper seems durable. The quick click connects the bag to the bike securely and makes it easy to remove. My only slight complaint is that even with the quick click tab mounted all the way at the rear of seat rails the bag is pressed against the seat post without enough room for it to fully expand. The expansion zipper won't do me much good.
Excellent product. Well built, very durable. Be sure to get the right size. Small is more than adequate for 2 tubes, irons, patches. Etc. Great product and if you have the Quick Click fixer attachment for other bikes it is simple to transfer pack from one bike to the other with no hassle.
I have always love Topeak bag. Unfortunatly the quick click fixer dose not work with my Selle. I hope thy make one that will soon. I need a new bag....
