According to the product specialist
Pros
Bring all the tools and repair materials you might need for emergency repairs on the road with the Topeak MidLoader. |
Due to its central location and the fact that it’s attached to multiple frame tubes, you’ll barely notice the added weight. |
Equipped with two waterproof zippers, giving you access to your belongings from two sides. |
The Midloader is available in three different sizes. |
The compression straps on the side allow you to minimise the size of the BackLoader. |
With the air release button you can easily let excess air out of the bag. |
In the waterproof inner bag (dry bag) the contents of the BackLoader remain absolutely dry. |
The luggage bag has a waterproof roll closure. |
Easy mounting thanks to the Powerstrap. |
Can be integrated in different bike frames. |
Rain cover unneccessary. |
Cons
Not fully waterproof. |
For small frame sizes, the Midloader may not fit. So always measure the space in your frame! |
After long and frequent use Velcro loses its effectiveness. |
This bag needs at least 12 centimetres of mounting space on the seatpost. |
Not suitable for large stuff (max. capacity is 8L). |
