The ones that clip into the Fizik saddles. Anyone got one of these?

How strong is the clip, do they last? Any feedback on the difference between the 2 sizes and how much u can carry?

    I've got one of the ICS ones. Clip is pretty strong.

    Worthwhile IMO if you have an ICS-compatible saddle - for me it means less faffing about swapping between bikes.

    I got a Medium.

    I've got tyres levers, tube, 2xCO2 canisters, CO2 adapter thingy, spoke key, multi tool, phone, money/debit card and a load of keys.

    I've got one. It's the small size, I can get 2 tubes, a multitool, levers and a couple of superflate canisters. The extra small one really is pretty small...I didn't hink it was big enough for me.

    Not sure what size I've got, either small or medium - carries a multi-tool, tube, levers, patches, keys, coil lock, and mobile. Pretty much all I need for day rides. Clip seems strong, and fixes firm, although the little zip pull soon came off so a little fiddly to open. Would be easily fixed by tieing a small loop of string to it, but I can;t be bothered.

    As Red says, it means simple swapping bewteen two bikes as they both have ICS Arione's.
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    Just had my one break after hitting a pothole.

    Anyone know where to get a replacement in white?

    I have difficulty getting mine clipped on properly and getting it off but once on it is secure.One flaw in it is the loop for a rear light is too loose so the light points at the ground.
    Smarter than the average bear.

    Broke? Did the clip break off from the bag?

    Thats why I asked, I mean I like the idea of the bag but without seeing how it's built I'd be quite worried about the way the clip and the bag are attatched. To me it would seem like a weak point.

    :shock:

    Where did it break? I've had mine a while now, I've always wondered about their longevity... Pity, as it is quite a neat arrangement.

    They are a great idea, had no problems with the ICS thing but the zip is truly rubbish (regularly slated on other forums/reviews).

    I finally gave up with it when it died just before a ride last weekend and have now got one of the new Scicon bags, which has similar capacity and similar fit. Stuck the dodgy little Fizik rear light in the vacant ICS slot...

    To be honest if Fizik had 'fessed up to the dodgy zip issue and changed the design I'd have stuck with it, as it was a neat idea.

    And I agree - the rear light loop was too slack.
