Review on 🚲 Bike Saddle Bag - Bicycle Strap-On Seat Pack, Triangle Cycling Wedge by Fred Griffin

I would like to give 5/5, but I couldn't. I would like to give it a 4.5/5, but since I can't, I chose 4. All in all you get a nice, simple frame package that's fairly easy to install and should fit most bikes. I deducted 1 start for installation and overall score due to the size of the velcro. I know this will fit my Salsa Journeymen gravel bike, but I have a smaller, more expensive backpack on this bike that better suits my conditions and preferences. mountain bike. I got it mainly to replace an old dented seatpost package that I was fed up with when it came time to service the bike and put my bike on a stand by clamping the seatpost. This backpack does the job perfectly with functional use of my seat tube water bottle cage. I can still exit and access the bottle cage with the downtube installed, although it's a bit shortened, but I think it's worth it because it gives me space and allows me to keep my gear more centered and stable than my downtube seatpost was, especially when I stumbled over some easy trails. So again, why isn't 5/5 enough? Well, one of the straps is a bit short for my bike frame. Specifically the strap you would use to attach it to the upper tub right next to the seatpost. Closer to the seatpost, my frame thickens a bit and it hangs barley. This doesn't give me confidence under load and when riding that it won't come loose, so I add a few extra Velcro straps. Again, this is a very affordable backpack, so it doesn't hurt me, and it probably won't hurt most people. Don't use them on mountain bikes, but be aware. The zips work well, but I haven't had a chance to properly test the waterproofing. I won't hold my breath though as my phone is perfectly safe in a real wet ride in it. I have a more expensive backpack like I said and the zippers on it have an extra layer of waterproofing that this one doesn't have. However, those zippers are easy to use, and for $10, I can't expect this thing to be an all-weather tank. My phone is waterproof so this backpack is fine for me when I'm riding in the rain myself, but my wallet has to be somewhere else to keep my money from getting wet.
