Zeffer Posted March 19, 2020 Share I do NOT like saddle bags. The look ugly on a bike. They rattle. And they tend to damage your seatpost after a while. I used the Scicon bags which has an attachment that bolts onto the bottom of your seat and the bag then clicks onto that, but after 3 of them broke off and one got lost I am looking elsewhere. Your experience and advice please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted March 19, 2020 Share {insert sophomoric gender reference here} on a different note, it seems more prefered/fashionable these days to use a toptube/fueltank bag. i use one...they are nice because they are easily accessible while riding (phone, gells whatever)....and also look a bit better than saddle bags imo. purists will still object though. i dont like riding with crap in my shirt or with a bag on my back so you be a purist all you want lol.

Grease_Monkey Posted March 19, 2020 Share Secure, small, doesn't rattle, doesn't touch your seatpost (dropper post friendly). The only saddle bag you will ever find on any of my bikes: https://www.cogentindustries.co.za/product/speedsleev-ranger/ ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasT Posted March 19, 2020 Share Out of all the saddle bags I’ve had, I’ve found this to be the best of the bunch by a long shot........ https://www.trekbikes.com/za/en_ZA/equipment/cycling-accessories/bike-bags-baskets-panniers/bike-bags-panniers/bontrager-pro-quick-cleat-medium-seat-pack/p/21792/?colorCode=black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted March 19, 2020 Share you dont say if for road or mtb. for road I'm using the Scion elan 210 doesnt touch the seat post.Only thing is its to small to fit a tube and tools in.Inside I've got 2 bombs + adapter, small multi tool, slug plug.I have put the bombs and multi tool inside a piece of tube to stop them rattling though.

TIB Posted March 19, 2020 Share Ryder Elite Saddle Bag Small Multitool2x Bombs and ValveChainbreaker2x tyre leversSnugplugMagic Link1x Buffalo if you have an emergency and run out of coffee money It fits very securely with straps. The strap around the seatpost is just under the saddle, you can still use the dropper. I have found that the slide/clip-in attachments tear out after a while.

Bikalot Posted March 19, 2020 Share We've got the Rapstrapz Saddle Straps as an alternative to the saddle bag if this is of interest: https://www.bikalot.com/collections/accessories/products/rapstrapz-saddle-strap pista, Frosty and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FondTF2 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Your back pockets are the best alternative. But if you must, A bidon tool carrier works best. Something like the below: https://bicycledestock.com/en/p/bidon-lezyne-rangement peetwindhoek and WaynejG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemmerbal Posted March 19, 2020 Share in all honesty, ive been flirting with this idea: the saddle bag is starting to annoy me, and all i really have in there is a multitool, plugs, chainlink and cleat bolts. my co2 cans are mounted to the bottle cage. and the pocpac also means you can just grab it and go, if you are jumping between bikes for instance. https://www.thepocpac.co.za/product-range/mtb-off-road-pouch/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
