BELL Stowaway Top Tube Bicycle Bag
A**N
top tube bag as advertised
I got this bag a couple of years ago. It is another great Bell product. It has stood up to use on every bike ride I've done. I mainly use it to hold my Samsung phone for when I use my Strava app. It hold that, a mask, driver's license, bank card, and there is still plenty of room. When it's not on my bike I store my cycling gloves and bike lights in it. Even with those items there is still some room left. Great product.

Liked my Wife's enough to order another for my bike...
Enough room for essentials and the phone screen works well under the clear plastic. I would monitor the heat of the phone on hot sunny days as there is no air circulating over the phone when it's zipped into the bang..Great price, great quality, great size

So far, so good
Bag is plenty big to hold all the things I need, though I haven't put a tube in yet to see how that will hold with my keys and phone also in there.

Great!
Great and half the price of Walmart for the same product!

Strap on the bottom is WAY too long, preventing secure attachment to the top tube
I am very disappointed in this bag. The strap on the bottom, which attached around the bike's top tube, is WAY too long. The end of the strap has a short velcro strip at one end to attach to the other side of the strap (near the bag) after wrapping it around the top tube. If you cinch the strap tight--so that the bag is affixed securely enough to not move during travel--the velcro stip misses the other end of the strap. If you attach the velcro strip to the other end of the bag, the bag remains loose and moves back and forth on the top tube. Either a longer velcro strip or a shorter strap would have addressed this problem. (But a shorter strap would be better because a longer velcro strip on the existing strap length would leave a lot hanging over after attachment.) In an attempt to fix this problem, I folded the strap over onto itself and secured my folds with twist ties--effectively shortening the strap--before wrapping it around the top tube. So far this has worked, but I know it won't last forever. And I shouldn't have to make this kind of "home fix" to a product designed for use on a standard bike, like mine.For reference, my bike is a Trek Dual Sport 2. The top tube is not at all skinny. I cannot imagine a bicycle with a top tube thick enough to require the length of the strap on this Bell bag.The strap that attaches to the front is also poorly designed, though basically functional.Finally, as a a minor gripe, there is no opaque cover between the storage compartment and the lid of the bag where the phone sits. This means that when you do not have your phone installed in the top of the bag, the contents of the storage compartment are visible. I wish the bag had an opaque divider that separated the storage compartment from the phone area.In summary, I do NOT recommend this bag for use on any bicycle with a normal (or even slightly thick) top tube. As designed, this bag could only be fully secured (so as to prevent movement during travel) on a bike with a a VERY, VERY thick top tube.

Too big for my bike.
I ride a mountain bike and wanted a saddle type bag for my phone that will attach to my stem and rest on the top bar of my bike. This bag is too big and bulky and gets in the way during rides especially when mounting and dismounting the bike. I found that the interior of the bag is sufficient and the size of the phone holder is adequate for most modern phones. I would not recommend this for mountain biker and may prove a better choice for those who ride cruiser, road, or casual bikes etc.

Good product
This works great but I do need to remove the case from my iPhone 6s to use it.

Must have for the mountain bike
Ordered to hold my iPhone 11Max phone to Specialized FSR Camber. Love it as phone is snug and I can easily put keys, cash, credit cards and more. You could fit 2 computer mice in the thing for an interior size idea.

Buena bolsa
Tiene buen tamaño y es fácil de colocar, el teléfono responde bien aun cuando tiene el plástico encima, solo un poco estorbosa al momento de levantar la rodilla cuando pedaleas, la puedes golpear o rozar pero no es gran cosa, la recomiendo para ir a pasear por pavimento no para terreno montañoso

Rapport qualité/prix imbattable.
Je suis très satisfait. Ce sac de rangement n’est pas trop gros, malgré tout, il peut contenir mon téléphone, mes clés de voiture, mon portefeuille, une barre santé et quelques petits articles supplémentaires. La fermeture éclaire fonctionne bien et semble très solide. Le sac tien bien en place et semble bien protéger de la pluie.
