I’ve bikepacked on my full sus 170mm travel enduro bike, steel fat bike, road bike, Ali rigid 80’s bike and gravel bike. If it has 2 wheels and pedals it works.

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Absolutely! Got more videos coming to show different options for different bike types for those who aren’t as convinced!

@thebikepackingadventurer Месяц назад

@@Cycling366 and I agree with tailfin. I’ve had mine 5 years now and it’s perfect still. I have a universal thruaxle now to fit any bike.

@thedoginside Месяц назад

I've seen loads of videos which show the Tailfin range. Non as clear and straightforward as this. Cheers

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Thank you! :)

I understand why you've gone down the shill route and I enjoy and look forward to your backpacking videos so I'll stay subscribed. Looking at the amount of content creators promoting tailfin I do wonder whether the extensive R&D comprises of mostly Marketing. Tailfin does seem to be the 'athletic greens' of bikepacking vlogs.

Cheers Malcolm, appreciate the feedback

I like the Tailfin systems, just don't like the price, looking at the kit they sent you and then adding the same kit to shopping basket on the Tailfin website it came to £781, I may have missed some of the straps they sell, if they supplied those as well - their versions of voile straps which would push the price over £800 - I realise there are a wide range of options at various prices in the market however the Tailfin universal thru axle system does seem very good and probably the best option for use with a MTB, I've got a rear Topeak tetra rack and would agree about having to tighten it over time.... Anyway I best get saving !

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Agreed! Very expensive but it’s great quality and they do a lot of R&D so that’s got to be paid for somehow!

@garyboyle695 Месяц назад

You have to weigh the initial outlay against the number of times you'll use it. If it lasts years then the cost per use is low. Quality costs.

That was very useful Tom. I did swether about Talfin and there have been mixed reviews. Anyway I have my Restrap stuff (and Beerbabe fork bags as I have no mounting points on any bikes) not much use for my MTB’s or one of my road bikes the problem with XS bikes. It’s good to know they now have universal and QR fittings. Being able to use on all bikes is more appealing. You’ve given me something to think about for a later date.

@Cycling366 26 дней назад

No worries! Yeah it’s a great system if not a bit pricey :)

@JeremyLawrence-imajez Месяц назад

I have a CX and hard tail with QR skewers, as well a CX, hardtail and full sus bikes with through axles, none of which have any rack mounting. My Tailfin setup works great with all my bikes and is very secure even when descending at inadvisable speeds off road.

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Nice! 👌 good that you can use it across all your bikes as well

@rubendias3973 27 дней назад

Full suspension mtb, here i go!!

@Cycling366 26 дней назад

💥 yes 🙌

@samuraioodon 16 дней назад

Hi I’d love to see you use this system on an epic adventure ride. I’m on the boat to buy this.

@Cycling366 12 дней назад

I will be! Hopefully building up a new bike for 2025 with it all on

@minervaa444 Месяц назад

Hi Mr @Cycling366 !! I just discovered your channel, and since you seem to be a nice and chill guy, I subscribe ! :-) As an 18yo boy, I plan to do my first bikepacking, so I do some research. As a matter of fact, I don't have much money saved, so I'd like to go with my own bike instead of buying a new one.. however, it is pretty heavy, I struggle to do long distance with it, and its brakes kind of rub against the wheel. Do you think I should fix it or buy a new one ? Thank you. Love from France 🇲🇫

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Hey! Will be cheaper to fix the brakes most likely, gives you a chance to test the bike packing lifestyle before you commit to something more expensive (or new) in future

@omare_biketonature Месяц назад

I guess Tailfin provided all that gear because your channel has prospects, nothing wrong with that, it’s just that it feels like suddenly you’re selling something but then again, that’s the whole point of creating content (have income) which is time consuming and requires a lot of work. Anyways, Tailfin has definitely quality product, I already bought the suspension fork mounts paired with their cargo cages and some straps.

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Thanks, sorry you feel that way. It makes no difference to me if you do or do not buy these things. Just get out on your bike and enjoy the world is my motto

@marksadventures3889 Месяц назад

You can go Bikepacking on any bike. In India and Africa those guys have ancient bikes carrying everything, so unless you're a fashion victim you're sorted.

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Completely agree

@kevindean9613 Месяц назад

I use a tailfin top tube bag & it's excellent but the ortlieb quick rack is a lot cheaper than the tailfin version .

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Nice! Yeah I’ve not got much experience using that but I have reached out to Ortlieb to try some products in future

@rottieshepcalibre9156 20 дней назад

I like the Tailfin but will it last on a 10,000km 70% off-road journey? I am torn between pannier and seatbag

@Cycling366 20 дней назад

Probably! It’s pretty robust

@welshbikepackingadventures Месяц назад

Very interesting

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Thanks!

@UglyBikeling Месяц назад

Im here for the accent 😉

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

@2dh887 Месяц назад

Does it only work with thru axle? Mine is quick release I think.

@JeremyLawrence-imajez Месяц назад

It works just fine. Tailfin can supply whatever works with your axle. I have a QR setup for my older CX and the Tailfin universal thruaxle kit for my other bikes.

@Cycling366 Месяц назад

Jeremy beat me to it but yes QR adaptors can be bought too
