Rotiringer Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I see posts slagging off saddle bags occasionally in the classifieds section etc. Is this an image thing or a practical matter. Why are some folk so against keeping tools in a bag under your seat?

Smurfy Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Sometimes the Zipper opens up and you loose your tools. I have a water bottle cage on my seat post with a bottle where I carry all my tools. Works like a charm. No CLING, CLONG. Wannabe and Super Sywurm 2
Catatonic_Joe Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I'm done with saddle bags, lost too much of my S#!t because of them. pista 1
DieVlieg Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 They keep their wifes happy for emergencies or borrow tools from a riding buddy or maybe they keep to the soft tracks. I have not been cycling that long but know that chains, tyres other moving parts do break.
Vangar Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Bwahahaha. It's in the rules.......but seriously, it's personal preference. As long as the saddlebag is matched to the bike and doesn't look horriblke it's fine. Keeping tools in a bag is definitely helpfull, IF they aren't rattling around etc etc. At the end of the day it's the same as with camelbacks, some like em some don't. I love mine because I lag half a workshop and a pharmacy along. Oufy MTB (Roadie), BarHugger, Smurfy and 4 others 7
TK-Sp3cialiSt Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I ride with all my spares in a saddle bag, do not really care what others think, maybe it is just that they want to look like pros(who do not ride with spares) Some people also get a Camelbak with extra pockets for the spares garrethk, scotty and Pusher 3
flymango Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Do you know how many times I've helped a rider out in an event or just out on the trails with something from my saddle bag of magic? Chain links, bombs, plugs, chain breaks, .... Too many times!! scotty, igknot, BarHugger and 3 others 6

rouxtjie Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Would you put one of those blue bull dangles on your car. If yes, fit a saddlebag, otherwise no, unless you are a cowboy of course Edited July 25, 2014 by rouxtjie
