Large size great bag

(see my small size review) For me this is the right size for a seat bag. It will include a screwdriver with each hex head used on my bike, a T-30 for my sprockets and a Phillips bit, a micro leatherman, some spare zip ties, a small bungee cord, a tire patch kit with 3 pry bars (er, plastic), some cash for emergencies, a pair of latex gloves to keep my hands grease-free in case I need to get into the transmission, a spare hose, and a very small first aid kit. Sentence. As you can see from the photos I posted, it also has some VERY useful little loops that can be used for a super streamlined pump mount. I use a Fi:zik seat mount for the taillight and the reflective strip stays fairly visible. The bungee chord pump locking system also acts as a compression strap, helping to keep the bag up and back in its most streamlined position. Due to the size of this bag, it is positioned at a different angle and therefore does not tend to slip from its attachment. to carry 96 ounces of Polar protected beverages in a very comfortable position with no weight on your back or shoulders. On flat ground with a strong headwind, I put two 24oz bottles on the AquaRack and a small bottle on the down tube, keeping the seat tube aerodynamically clean. IMHO putting a pump in a t-shirt only calls for a spinal injury if you fall. Bondhus Hex Bit 5mm x 1" 1/4" Hex Head
