New road bike kit - tyres & saddle bag.

the FARR mini saddle bag works a treat, good quality also. using 1 for about a year and its holding up well.

I also use a Farr saddle bag:

It's probably the cheapest option, seems to be pretty well made, and it's nice to support local guys.It's just big enough for a tube, levers, a co2 cannister and a small adapter, some patches and master link. I reckon that's everything I'll ever need to be able to get home if something goes wrong on a ride. 

 

You can probably get away with riding without a saddle bag and just putting stuff in your jersey pocket, but then you have to remember to take that stuff with you every time you ride. I quite like being able to just grab my bike, walk out my door, and go for a ride without having to worry about what I take with me. And I also think it's more comfortable to just have a phone and keys in my jersey pocket.

that looks like its slightly wider than the Scion Elan, it might be a very good alternative.

I cant get anything else into the Elan if I put a tube in there.

How do you plan on pumping up the spare then?
