Topeak Tourguide Handle Bar Bag – Reviews

I really like this bag. I have had it on my 29er mountain bike, and just transferred it to my Townie. You can put snacks, tools, and spare tubes in it. Has a little shoulder strap that you can use to turn it into a “M-urse” when you park your bike. I also keep my wallet, cellphone and any other junk I feel like bringing. Really rugged, cleans up easy, and also has a solid mounting system. Included with it is a little yellow rain guard that fits over it incase of inclement weather. I wiped out like 50 times mountain biking with this, and it never fell off my handle bars. If this one ever breaks, I will replace it with the same. Great product.

A lot more bag than what I expected. I could have used something slightly smaller, but what the heck, I got a lot more bag than I bargained for at the right price. I love the clip connector that allows for easy removal in installation anytime you need the bag, or don’t want it in your way.

This a good bag except for the rain cover and a few other flaws. My bag is about 4-5 years old and from day one the rain cover would not shed water. (actually did not realize until warranty was up.). I use a light shower cap under the rain cover which keeps everything dry, but should not be necessary. I have used it daily over this time and the main zipper is just now beginning to show signs of failure. The volume is split between five compartments and two shallow mesh pockets on the sides of the bag. There are two small side pockets. One houses the cover and one houses the shoulder strap. One small/medium size front compartment. (houses emergency lights, granola bars when touring, extra tube, etc. The main compartment is where I keep items for ready access. I use small mesh bags to organize my gear. A small bag for wallet, change, and keys. A larger mesh bag is used for a patch kit and common tools. (Less frequent tools are in a role under my seat.). I keep my camera here for ready access. The flat pocket inder the lid is good for a few extra maps. The shallow mesh pockets to the sides become too wide for my bars when loaded, but on one side I can squeeze in a small can of Halt (dog spray) without interference. Whenever I leave the bike the bag comes with me. The old style bracket was a little difficult to release with cold hands, but it looks like the new bracket has a push button which will be much better.

The bar bracket is OK. It is plastic but has held up. It uses a cable wrap under the bars to keep the bracket from sagging under load. The clamp screw for this cable never did work too well and finally failed when I removed and remounted the bag after about a year. It was fairly easy to fix with a longer bolt and a lock nut. The bag does not sag if you use a fourth hand tool to get the cable very tight when the bracket is installed.

I will probably replace it with a Rando Bag mounted on a Nitto M12, or modify a handle bar bag to be mounted on the rack. This will move weight down and make it more stable. (I ride a very tall frame, 25″). (or Topeak, how about a quick release that would mount on the back hoop of the M12 and let the bag weight be supported by the rack?)
