Recommendation for bolt on top tube bag

JWDR · #1 10-20-2020, 10:40 PM

Anyone have a recommendation for a bolt on top tube bag for my new cheapo aluminum Specialized Diverge? Something to throw my phone, ID, and house key in along with a granola bar or two? Although the bike is inexpensive, the bag doesn’t have to be.

Wife’s bike has one on her new salsa so I’m adding almost no value but curious to see suggestions. Salsa makes at least one.

I picked up an XLab Stealth Pocket 200 a few weeks ago. It seems to work okay, and wasn't very expensive.

I have an Oveja Negra top tube bag (though in the velcro strap variant) and absolutely love it. They have pretty stiff walls so the bag maintains its shape when not 100% full better than the Restrap I have.

I have an Apidura bolt on bag on my Niner RLT 9 RDO and love it - lots of room, waterproof and a cool magnetic catch which holds very securely off road.

This looks nice. As usual any bag or bike part I’m interested in is backordered.

have a Revelate Mag-Tank bolt-on on my Checkpoint that works nicely for this. they have a bigger version now too.

Also a Mag-tank on a Checkpoint person. The magnetic closure is both secure and easier to operate than a zipper at speed.

Another vote for Mag Tank. I really like mine.

Revelate mag for sure. I have a zip only Pro one and really prefer the mag.

I had my hopes up for some small boutique hand made bag but I guess I can settle for the revelate if it’s the consensus.

+1. Easy access while riding and holds larger phones and then some. A++

Also consider the Revelate Feedbag. Holds everything from water bottles to cameras and it's easy to move between bikes, or remove and take the whole kit with you when stopping. I'm addicted to mine.

Its worth waiting for IMHO, and obviously a demand for it - for a reason.

The Relevate bolt on magnetic is nice, have them on both my wife’s and my Cutthroats. Works well, highly recommended after a full years use.
