- Taschenwahl hängt vor allem von Gepäckmenge, Übernachtungsart, Kochgepäck und Wechselkleidung ab; große Vielfalt an Typen und Herstellern.  
- Rahmen­größe, Anschraubpunkte und Lenkerbreite bestimmen Kompatibilität; bei kleinen Rädern sind oft maßgeschneiderte oder kleinere Taschen nötig.  
- Satteltaschen müssen dicht und mit schwerem Inhalt unten gepackt werden; bei Schwingen helfen straffere Riemen, bessere Kompression und weniger Volumen.
