Have any of you got one of these?

Are they good? Just wondering of anyone has had problems with them disappearing on route. The clip looks a little flimsy.

    I ordered and really like the topeak Medium Aero.

    Looked into the Fizik (as I have a compatible saddle), but looked really flimsy, no velcro post fastener (hence no stabilising and no extra security). Also a quick look at reviews (use google) found many peoples' fell off.

    If you have a sports type saddle you will need an adapter for the Topeak (or any other saddle mounts) to allow it to fit properly (about £5). The supplied one will just about fit but doesn't line up on the saddle rails.

    Me too, medium sized had it for over 8 months now. Tip I read is to load it up with the stuff you want to ride with, attach it to the saddle then loosen the nuts so the bag hangs in it's natural position then retighten the nuts, the problem with the breaking clips come from the bag being held in an unnatural position, thus putting unnecessary strain on the clip.

    Mine broke after about 8 months - AW took it back no probs without the receipt, and I swapped to at Topeak one like 90%+ of everyone else in the cycling club.

    I did like the easy switch over, but to be fair, a couple of clips and a velcro strap is hardly Krypton Factor!
