I prefer the look of the Topeak

I use this on my bikes - perfect for a couple of road tubes, puncture kit, tube, levers and cash/ card, etc ... No space for anything more though !

I'd avoid anything with a velcro securing strap around the seatpost as they have a tendency to wear holes in expensive legwear.

Tried the Topeak, but had no end of problems with the quick release so sent it back.
But each to his own.

I've gone for the same size one with the buckle attachment

I have a smaller Topeak one that attaches to the seat with straps rather than the clip. I think it looks neater up tight under the seat rather than hanging down a bit on the clip.

Don't waste your money with Topeak, they really only make useless tosh, the Lezyne Micro Caddy is without doubt one of the best you can get, fizik also do great integrated ones for their saddle range also.

me and my dad have got 2 toppeak bags with brackets on all 4 bikes me we own. never had a problem with any, the medium one i bought about 4 years ago is still in full working order. i've never used any other though so can't compare

The Ortlieb mentioned above has its advantages, but it also has an unfortunate way of spilling everything onto the road when you open it up. Because my saddle has loops (Brooks) I eventually went for a small Carradice zip-roll - perhaps not the trendiest option out there but sturdy as you like and it does the job.

I have this and can not recommend enough!

It looks sexy and even better at night because of the reflective detailing.

Snuggly fits under the road or MTB saddle and stays firm had mine for 7 months now.

Mine holds:
Holds an HTC desire (phone)
Multi-Tools
Money
Doctor's disposable mask (pollution :P)
Puncture repair kit
Power bar
some room still left for something smallish

I'd avoid any Specialized pack. It is really poorly designed. The velcro strap that wraps around the pack and the saddle rails is too close to the seatpost end of the pack and as result the rear end flops down and basically looks crap on the bike.

I would not buy this. I had one and the attachment broke going down a bumpy road. Sent it back to Wiggle.

For the true bike tart obsessive, seat packs make your bike look cr@p - that's why bike jerseys have back pockets :twisted:

Ive got a Top Peak ('Aero' i think) the medium size, its all velcro straps.

Its got reflective material on it.
A loop to attach a rear light.
And it expands when you undo the 2nd zip so you can fit more in.

Didnt cost that much.
I can get x1 inner tube, tyre levers, multi tool, puncture kit, phone & money in mine.

If your running tubular tyres you might want to go for the LARGE version.

Are you a bike tart obsessive, Flanners? Never would have thought it!
