 Posted: 20:14 - 03 May 2014  Post subject: Mortrax Tail Bags |
 |
|
So was searching the forum for ways to transport my bike chain and came across a post advising the Mortrax Tail bag.
https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=2785453
However I cannot find them anywhere. Is there an alternative for the same price kicking about?
Thanks James |

Marmalade has a tail bag for sale. Might be worth asking him about it? |

I use an un-branded version very similar to this the times I need to just transport my chain - a bigger one like in your OP might be fine, but if you have a particularly heavy chain [Almax in my case] it can slide around a lot and drag the back around if its not secured down tight.

That one looks almost identical, believe I got mine for about 20 quid inc delivery a few years ago. Won't get much in it besides a large chain, but it does keep it secured down well  |

I try to do the same if i'm heading anywhere unknown I may leave the bike - just make sure you find a good spot to chain it to rather than just leaving it dangling around the wheel 
Very easy to drag bikes otherwise, chained or not

I wouldn't say "advising", just specifically praising.
Motrax are out of production now as far as I know, but any generic tail-bag should do. I'm using a "Viper" now, looks like this...

Works fine, I got it for the princely sum of £9.50 delivered over the winter. It'll be busier now, but hit up eBay or Gumtree, be patient, and don't over-bid.
