    Comments about Topeak Aero Expanding Wedge - Medium:

    Although it unzips to "expand", it barely fits under the saddle when zipped. The extra space would be great if there were room to expand. Otherwise, it's just a bulkier, more expensive wedge.

    Plastic broke off, can't use it anymore

      Comments about Topeak Aero Expanding Wedge - Medium:

      Bought this thing about 18 months ago for when I go mountain biking to store a patch kit, basic tools, and pump, wallet, and snacks.

      Worked great for the first few months, including a 600 miler trip from San francisco to Orange county. Then a few months ago the zipper tip broke off so it made the zipper hard to move.

      Two weeks ago I went mountain biking and after going off a jump the plastic on top of the pouch broke off. Now i can not use it anymore which im a little bummed out about. I guess i'll have to go with the camelbak until I buy a new seat pouch.

      Comments about Topeak Aero Expanding Wedge - Medium:

      I have a selle smp pro saddle and the adapter doesn't fit.

      Also, the velcro strap that goes around the seat post casused my shorts to fray/rip. This goes with any bag for me (for some reason my thighs come close to the seat post).

      If you have a compatible saddle this is a nice bag.
      Lots of space.

        Wow what a piece of junk. I've only had this a short time and like many of the other reviewers I hit a bump and it was like my back brake locked up. My only saving grace is that I was not cornering at the time because I was moving at quite a clip and the breaking would have caused a very painful slide.

        Stay way from these bags they are not only poor quality bur dangerous.

            Do not buy this saddle bag unless you first bring your bike to REI to see if it will fit. I had to squish it to make it clip in to place. The bag is now too pushed in and is not usable - will rub against my legs.

            Very disappointed. The plastic mount from the bag to my seat broke within 2 miles of riding on the first day of use. I had just ridden up a curb onto a trail and heard a "snap". My wife was behind me and told me to pull over. It snapped the plastic piece clean off the mount. Would have really sucked if I had been out in the middle of nowhere and had to carry my stuff home. Read the reviews today and it seems like this is a common occurrence. Will replace with a bad w/o a plastic mount. REI should not carry this bag.

              This could be a great bag; but the 'quick click fixer' is super poor quality. After only using for about 300 miles (3 weeks).. I looked down to see the 'clip' had snapped. I had not hit a pot hole; normal road riding - clearly vibration - but, I would not expect the bag to detach from the saddle. The velcro band on the seat post prevented the bag from falling into the spokes of the wheel.I just read other reviews that had the same issue; this bag should be on a recall list! I have had other Topeak bags that did not have this problem. [...]

                Like the bag very roomy, but quick release bracket does not fit Terry saddles. I tried it on the Firefly and the Damselfly saddles.

                  Just bought it yesterday so it hasn't broke yet (see other reviews). The fit however was a bit tricky. At first attempt, it didn't fit my saddle. What I did was flip the rear metal attachment piece and screwed it together. It's wrong, but it works...now. Aside from the crafty fit-ability, I LOVE THE BAG! It fits everything I need and more! Fits patch-kit, head-light, tail-light, phone, and a multi-tool with room for more. And that's before unzipping the expansion.

                  I bought two of these, foole me twice shame on me. It is a very nice bag, but the clip that secures it to the seat is plastic. Twice, after hitting unexpected pot-holes at 20-23 mph, the clip broke leaving my saddle bag draggin on my wheel when I was 30 miles from home. If they made this more sturdy, this would be ideal given its robust size and sturdy (other) materials. If you don't hit hard bumps this might work well for you. I stored Blackburn CO2 pump, extra cartidge, tube, tire levers, patch kit, mini tire gauge, a little cash, and my cell phone in this with little difficulty.
