Just wondering if anyone can comment on the fit of this combination. The Tail Rider has a width of 6.5" whereas the Logo has a width of 3.4-4". Certainly doesn't sound promising...

I've got a Tailrider on a Tubus Vega—which is even smaller. The straps on the Tailrider are plenty long enough to accommodate the smaller platform. A little smaller than the bag, but it fits well enough and doesn't wobble around. Love the Tailrider—a good looking, functional (for my purposes) bag.

Thanks for the info and the pic!
According to the technical drawings at tubus.com, the top rack platform area is identical between the Vega and the Logo (100mm taper to 86.14mm supposedly). So your info is spot on.

I also use the Tail Rider on the Vega rack. See pics on this page (http://www.veloweb.ca/mybikepages/randononi.html).
No problems; just centre the bag on the platform and snug up the straps, which are plenty long enough.
