Hi - can anyone recommend a saddle bag that fits around a Kuota Kharma seatpost (which has an unfeasible girth). Are there any options that circumvent this?

I've got a San Marco saddle on it, so Fizik style pouches that click into the saddle are not an option.

Thanks

    Other option would be to go for a brand/ system that uses a clamp attached to the rails of your saddle.

    Like this one... http://www.wiggle.co.uk/scicon-soft-350-saddle-bag/

    Or buy some hook & loop tape to extend the reach of any pack you fancy ...

    Even if you don't think it'll hold some glue or stitching will be any easy fix ...

    Likely cost less than £2 (and you'll get spare to cover the excess hooks and save your shorts ...

    Kuota make one, but you can't get a great deal in it, I got mine off eBay with a water bottle

    Actually, if the Fizik style ones won't fit that Scicon one probably won't either...duh!

    I have one of these Lezeyne Micro Caddy Small Saddle Bags. What makes it great is that it attaches solely around the saddle rails and not the seatpost. I have been after a bag like this for ages – which doesn't need a strap around the seatpost – and it's great. It's in tough stretchy neoprene and fits all of my saddles. I have the micro version, which I fit the following: 1 x inner tube; 3 x tyre levers; 1 x pack of Park tyre patches; cable ties; small multi-tool. They also do a larger version. Very highly recommended.

    It's pretty easy to find bags that only mount to the rails - eg Topeak do them and you can get them in the likes of Evans even. Cheap too - eg http://www.rutlandcycling.com/9986/Tope ... fAodTGlBMg
