How does it work? what is that clip at the top? I have a light on the saddle stem already it looks like the pouch will interfere? is that right?
thanks for looking

I have this one (another, bigger Topeak):

It does interfere with a light mounted on the seat post, but there is a mount point on the bag itself, so problem solved. This just has some straps and clips to attach to the saddle rails. Only takes 20 seconds to attach it though.

The one you link to uses a special kind of clip to attach to the saddle rails. I think you have to buy it separately, although I'm not sure. It makes attaching/removing the bag a bit quicker. The clip bit stays attached to the bike saddle even when the bag isn't being used.

I brought the Topeak Aero Wedge last month to avoid having to wear a rucksack on the ole commute.

I originally went for the small version as some of the reviews stated that they were fitting 2 tubes (which was my main requirement).

However it seemed impossible to me, so I sent it back and got the medium which is sooo much more roomier, but also compresses down if you want.

I have a fair bit of seat post showing, so for me, it doesn't interfere with the light - it just means I have the light quite low on the seatpost.

The medium lets me carry:
2x road bike tubes, tyre lever, keys, cash/cc-cards, phone, chunky multitool, spare chain bits. That's all I need, but there's still room to spare

I think mine is the large and I can get an amazing amount of stuff in it.

Tube(s)
Allen keys
Tyre levers
Cash
Phone
Keys

All with space to spare.

Took a couple of pics of mine which should hopefully help you.
Note: the saddle attachment doesn't work on all saddles (my Fiziks for example).
