Seat Bag for Fizik Aliante - FSA K-Force Light Combo

Coach H

Can anyone help with a seat bag that will fit well to the above. I know my Spesh Mini-wedges don't, they don't fit flust at any point. The FSA seatpost is probably the main culprit with the large 2 bolt clamp area and the curvy shape. My seat is quite far forward as well so not much spare horizontal rail out of the back.

All suggestions welcome

I have a Fizik Arione and Specialised Toupe Team, they both go well with my Topeak mini wedges...

have you tried one of the ICS bags that clip directly into the rear of the saddle (pop the fizik logo out and you'll see where i mean)

I did try one a friend had spare in his garage......and found out why it was spare in the garage. It rattled more than a winning rattle in a rattle competition. It may have been a bad one but I would not have been able to stand it until the end of the street. On a possitive note though the shape fitted!

Word of warning re. the Fizik ICS clip-in bag - mine broke after about 7 months - one side of the clip sheared off where it meets the top of the bag.

Googling around would suggest this wasn't a one off - I went for a Topeak mini wedge as a replacement - and in a completely unscientific poll I'd say around 3/4 of my cycling club seem to be using Topeaks.

I use a Topeak wedge on my Arione but the standard clip that comes with them is to wide. It will fixs but isn't neat.

Topeak do a saddle clip to fix on to racing style saddles which is what i use;

Are you talking clip or straps to keep it on the saddle - I've got an arione and the strap-on/buckle-on - whatever they call it, and it's fine.

But I deliberately wanted to move away from plastic clips after my experience with the fizik ICS failure.

I've had no problems with my ICS seatpack - doesn't rattle either. Now I've said that it'll probably snap next time I go out.

Used velcro type ones in the past which fit well (inclding Specialized), but you need to be vey careful of straps - even if they protrude a small amount they will eat your shorts.

That's a good point - the buckles hold it onto the rails, but I'm always careful to tuck in the velcro round the seatpost - actually - now you mention it, I might trim mine a bit, as it's too long even on a 31.6mm post...!
