Sports reviews of Topeak Survival Tool Wedge Pack with Fixer
Customer Review: Organize lots of stuff, easy access, quick release
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This Topeak pack is great, because it has two separate compartments--one for essential tools; the other has plenty of room for a few more tools, some small parts, a tube, map, wallet, and cell phone; and, by removing the rain cover, effectively, a small third compartment becomes available for useful items. Plus, it's even easier to remove and reattach than Cannondale's T-clamp (mentioned below). The material is durable enough, I expect to get more than 15 years use before it starts to wear. Because I haven't had it long enough, I haven't experienced the breaking fixer problem so many report (at Amazon and elsewhere). I decided to buy it anyway because 1) the pack and fixer are both excellent designs, 2) the breakable fixer is its one and only flaw, imo, and 3) I can buy replacement fixers and keep one in the bag. HOWEVER, I must say that Topeak really ought to resolve this problem reported by so many! If nothing else, they could use metal for the fixer. Considering all the stuff I carry in this pack, the extra weight, if any, from metal would be insignificant. Considering the price of the pack, I suspect added manufacturing cost, if any, would also be insignificant.
Purchased 5/2010, this Topeak pack replaced a similarly designed Cannondale underseat pack I've used since 1992. The Cannondale had a quick release T-clamp for mounting under the seat--very convenient, and in 18 years of heavy use, in all weather, road & off-road vibration, the original T-clamp never broke. Maybe Topeak could use the same material for their fixer?
When the Cannondale pack started to wear-out a few years ago, all I could find were packs that attached with Velcro straps--even Cannondale thought this was an improvement for their current packs. But not for me, because I only take this pack on long rides when tools, spare tube, patches, etc. might be needed; otherwise, riding (and parking) around town just means another thing to remove so it won't be stolen by those !@#$%^&*() type of people. But even on long rides, I might park the bike while getting something to eat (or a cold beer), so easy removal and reattachment was important enough to me that I kept using the worn-out Cannondale pack for years until I discovered Topeak's pack.
I think Topeak's fixer attachment is a substantial improvement over the T-Clamp and superior to Velcro straps. So, it seems to me, especially given Topeak provides this fixer with many of their products, they could perfect this good idea by using a material that will last for a few decades, at least....
Sending suggestions to Topeak is really difficult, because they have no contact info on their site [...]. They have a parent company site [...] where you create an account and then open a trouble ticket. I'm going to use the ticket to express my thoughts above to improve the fixer.
