Small handlebar bag?

KnightOfTheLongTights

Looking for a unobtrusive handlebar bag - all the ones I've seen online are six inches high and a foot wide etc - way too big for what I need.

Just need a flattish pouch with space for camera, energy bars, wallet, etc - and maybe a map-case on top.

maybe one of those triangular ones that fit in the frame is what I need?

Any rec.s appreciated.

I've just bought one of these.

Looks pretty good, haven't tried it on the bike yet.

I bought one with a waterproof cover which cost a few more quid. Alternatively you can get a "drybag" version which looks like it would survive a monsoon.

Decathlon did make a small handlebar bag, I've used it. Fits with just velcro, and small enough to use with shimano, will easily fit camera/bard wallet. Personally I don't like those Triathlon bags .

They rely on stem spacers for a start. So be aware, if you're running your stem without spacers, you'll struggle to fit a triathlon style bag.

I have one of the bags pictured, it is good and holds what you'd want (well what I wanted anyway!) but when standing and pedaling if its full and the velcro can catch your clothing which is a little annoying.

But other than that its pretty good.

I use both a 'gas tank' from Porcelain Rocket and a little pouch that attaches below the stem from Topeak:

The gas tank is great for snacks, and I can fit a mid sized (Sony NEX) camera in it, the Topeak pouch is good for keys and a compact camera.
