Jersey pocket storage!

wellbeloved747

Need to get together some items for my first ride on my new bike. i am avoiding a saddle bag and am looking to store the items in my jersey pocket!

I shall be keeping in the bag:

Specialized Emt tyre leavers (got them as a gift)

A small multi tool like this
http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Specialized-EMT ... zAodIj8A-A

A spare Michelin Latex tube

2x16g co2 cartridges.

a small head inflator

and a glue less patch kit


Can anyone recommend a pouch/bag that this could be stored in. i would like it to be zipped so that it opens like a book. with an internal zip would be great!

Many thanks

Stuff em in, you got 2-3 pockets! should it ever warm up a bag will be sweaty and imagine would be too big to fit.

Sounds random but have a look at thinking anglers waterproof pouches. They do one small enough for a jersey pocket and are not cycling equipment priced.

ziplock food bag.

I use(d) a neoprene camera lens pouch, available from ebay for a couple of quid.

I went to Asdas* with everything I wanted to carry in a ziplok bag.
Looked at the camera cases and picked the most appropriate size/style.
Sorted for only a few quid and knew it was the right size. :P

*Other stores are available.

I got one for my Xmas a few years back. Yes it's expensive (unless it's bought for you ;-)) but it's spot on for carrying the exact amount the OP has listed, plus a bank card, a bit of cash and your ID. You can even get a spare tub in it!

I found a similar sized bag recently albeit not leather. It looked good. Will see if I can find the link...

Lezyne do nice ones (caddy sack) but to be honest, just a zippable bag will do. A camera case, kids small pencil case etc. I use sandwich bags.

These are good, and carbon 'look' too, I can get a cheese sandwich, an apple, 3 diabetic chocolate biscuits, some dried apricots, keys, patches etc, saves on getting a sweaty back

A cheese sandwich? I can get a sausage roll in this:

I use one of these - they're like £0.90 and you can get them everywhere:






not 100% it will fit all that stuff in though.

Now that is an impressive amount of gear to take on a bike ride. Chapeau

Impressive in what way?

+1 for the sandwich bags.

All my puncture repair stuff fits in it in one pocket. Pump in middle pocket, phone and keys go in final pocket and food etc can go in the jersey pockets in the cold weather will have to re-jig things in the warmer weather with only one layer on.

why not just get a saddle bag? It's fit and forget.

Because they're all ugly! Seriously though, I've used both, but prefer the pocket pouch approach.

I've got the Rapha essentials case, but it's only good for 1 spare tube, 1 co2 cartridge, co2 pump head (Giant), multiool (Hexus II), patch kit (Lezyne rescue box incl. quick chain link) and emergency boot patch (Parks Tools). You'd struggle with 2 co2 carts and a latex tube. Don't see why the spare tube needs to be latex though!

I used to use the original Lezyne caddy sack, and it was a good bit bigger than the Rapha so good for 2 tubes and 2 co2. Liking the look of the new caddy sacks with the roll down top, but I think I'm going to explore the pencil cases at Staples this lunch time!

Surely having a multi tool and keys in your back pocket is going to be extremely painful when it bursts through your kidneys if you were unfortunate to have an off??

Don't see how a closed multitool is going to spear anything. Sure naked keys might do some damage in a freak incident, but in a bag within a jersey? About as likely as getting speared by a cliff bar.

I just reckon the saddlebag is the cleanest option. I don't really like things in back pockets (apart from a gel or 2 for access) as they move and weigh the jersey down, particularly out of the saddle. Oh, and I'd always be concerned that my phone or credit card fell out (or even the whole toolkit!).

What about low profile waist pack? I have a deuter one and a 2xu one, both of which are pretty flat, far more stable and can get all that stuff in plus phone, card and key.

Nice - I like the colour/style of that one.

If they did them in black you could bake the sausage roll as you ride along here

It's actually too nice to put on the bike

Ahaha

I use a sandwich bang with handles to carry tools/tubes then tie the handles around my mini pump before putting everything in my rear pocket...keeps the pump attached to something so no chance of it falling out

This dont look too shabby
