tiny saddle bag?

[false_aesthetic]

I stole this bag from my girlfriend.

Its perfect 5x6x12cm has only one strap holds 1 road tube, 2 tire levers, 1 5mm allen wrench, 1 4mm allen wrench . . . . nothing else

Made by Cannondale (but its discontinued).

Everything else I've looked at is bigger or holds the tube vertically instead of horizontally.

Suggestions.

Looks nice. It's all you need. What model seat is that?

[Nathanrtaylor]

You specifically said horizontal instead of vertical, but I'll still throw this out there.
I had one of these strapped to my bike until I decided to just carry this stuff in my jersey pockets.




Still have one on the mtn bike.

That's a specialized Toupe

Seat is Specialized Toupe 143.
Seatpost is a KCNC Titanium thing (traded 3 photos for it.)

JB when you have a chance would you mind measuring LxWxD of the Lezyne? I can't seem to find it online. (My online smartness might be broked today)/

The smaller Pedros' Blowout bag is pretty small and holds the tube on it's side. It's made from an inner tube so it can be compressed a lot according to the load. Two straps though, but I never had any rubbing issues.

Mine finally fell apart this year and I replaced it with an Arundel Dual. I like it better.

If you don't mind something not being bespoke (it's a stupid bike bag), Performance Transit bags are great. I cannot seem to wear mine out.

$8

3x3x5"

fit's a tube, tire lever, and CO2, with a strappy for a blinky light too.

i am out of town until next monday, but will measure it when i get home.

here's what i have in mine: a single latex tube, two levers, one co2, plus the screw on co2 valve, in the outside minitool and cash. it is filled to the brim.

i will measure and let you know. but it is tiny and really hides under the saddle. no possibility of leg rub, no drooping. really the perfect small bag.

will post exact measurements at the start of next week if you'd like.

Pedro's smallest Blowout Bag is really good. No strap around the seattube and it sits horizontally.

[EricKeller]

I bought the biggest Pedro's bag, and it's still pretty small. I've started carrying a spare tire, so the small tube bag doesn't quite cut it. Maybe if I build myself a go-fast bike I'll start using it again

Arundel Dual. Small, functional, elegant.



Get one from Svelte.

FA - I have a bunch of smallish bags at home in the parts bin. I'll measure and take some pics. We can make a deal.

I asked this question a while back and while I did get the normal "lame thread" responses. I also got a nice suggestion for the Sci Con elan extra small which looks a bunch like the one you are showing
I can squeeze a tube, levers, patches and a co2 nozzle/cartridge

here it is on my 'zetti

I bought a bunch for $10 each on ebay. BTW the sci con logo comes off with a little destitching

See, that reminds me of my Ortleib seat bag which is big enough for a six pack -- of Foster's depth charges. I've been accused of carrying a severed head in there, but nobody has asked to see it.

I completely understand the appeal of tiny nutsacks...oops, I mean tiny seatpacks...from an aesthetic point of view. In fact, if I had my druthers, I wouldn't have any seatpack at all. I think a road bike looks its best sans seatpack.

However,

A) I've had two flats on the same ride enough times to always want two tubes with me; and
B) There have been so many times when the sheer convenience of being able to stuff a vest, or a jacket (!), or a sandwich, or a beer, or yes, even an entire severed human head, into a saddlebag has made me think "Why would I ever give up this big ugly thing?"

So I remain torn...
