In the Ultra 101 Edition we wrote: "Fancy equipment is nice, but it won't be the deciding factor in whether you had a great time on your next ultra." Still true. But your stuff has to go somewhere.
We've been riding Tailfin for a while now and we're genuinely convinced. That's it. There's a discount code further down, but first, here's why.
The frame bags and top tube bags are what we can recommend most. They hold their shape, they're tough, and they don't flap around. Some bags brush your leg with every pedal stroke. There's few things more annoying when you're in the saddle all day.
The Pack System is a different story. For bikepacking trips, it's a massive upgrade over the classic sausage bag dangling off your saddle. For an ultra? Depends on how much you're packing. Might be overkill. Might also be perfect if you're leaning towards the comfortable side and want to bring a little extra.
What does this mean for you? First and foremost, a glimpse at what's possible. At the bags that have worked best for us. Whether you make the same choice or just duct-tape your spare jersey to your top tube — what matters is that you ride.
Tailfin is offering all readers of this newsletter 10% off one order. Sign up here and you'll get a personal discount code directly from Tailfin. We'll share your contact with Tailfin for this purpose only — nothing else, nowhere else.
Until next time.
