Recommend me a seat bag

vim147

Anyone got any nice seat bags for under £10. Was thinking of this http://www.juliescycles.co.uk/productdetails.asp?productid=76577

Or perhaps one of those that are slanted on the seat post to give it that neat look.

Just got the small one. can fit a tube/puncture kit tyre lever and small multi tool in it easily. Still a bit of room to spare.

Don't bother, the only purpose they serve is to randomly let go of your saddle, taking all your tools and essentials with them, approximately 5 miles before you need those tools.
And they rattle like you wouldn't believe.

The Specialized Wedgie's are decent and very secure (long loops of velcro through seat rails). Rattly though, but thats the stuff inside, not the bag itself. Use em on my road and cross bikes.

They will still fall off one day, just before you need them. It's like a galactic constant.

The guys used to laugh at mine and call it my knitting bag because it rattled so much. Never fell off though.

People can be so cruel.

Did you keep knitting sticks and a ball of wool in there?

cooldad

Needed something to pass the time while they caught up.

Mine never rattled, it had so much stuff in I couldn't even open it.

I used to use one all the time before hydration packs became popular/reliable. Was really good, never fell off and didn't rattle. I think they are all much of a muchness really.

saddle bags attract some very negative comments. With good reason.

I had a Cannondale 'pod' one. For a week or two. It did a good job of falling off every 30 seconds.

I've got a topeak aerowedge or whatever it's called, it's bound in gaffa tape now thouch cuz the stitching is coming undone. Hasn't fallen off though, oviously the clips are more effective that sweatshop sewing techniques.
