. The bottom of the cage features a removable 'load chip', which is a small horizontal part that fixes to the bottom of the cage. It provides an area to support the bottom of a loaded bag or bottle and doubles as a bottle opener. While the chip does add some support, the majority of the support will come from having secure straps in place, but it also helps when loading and fixing the bags, or what you decide to strap to the cage.
In use, I found they helped provide a very secure load, not moving the slightest bit when used with Tailfin Cage Packs. The cages in question do not have a weight limit, but Tailfin suggests a maximum payload of 1.5kg per fixing point for off-road use. This would equate to 3kg if securing over two bolts or 4.5kg if using across three bolts. This might not seem like much, but I found it more than adequate, usually not even reaching 1.5kg total within a bag, or bottle strapped in place.
The minimal shape of the cage makes it more versatile and able to hold either a dry bag or other packs such as the Tailfin Cargo Pack,. However, when compared to some larger cages, such as the, it allows smaller diameter items/bottles to be strapped in place. If you remove the load chip, you can take longer items, such as tent poles, which can be tricky to carry when bikepacking. This is where the extra length and strapping locations of the large cargo cage really appeals, adding extra security.
