When they say MINI. . They mean MINI

The manufacturer has shown camera, arms, two CO2 cartridges, patch kit and his mini pump next to mini bag on his website. I am sorry. No way. Only one tube completely fills the bag. If you're looking for a place to put a tool, a set of patches, and maybe a CO2 cartridge, this will likely work. Otherwise, look for something more. You will also have a hard time fitting this into the XLab Carbon Wing as advertised.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Just the right size

Enough space for the most important travel essentials. It easily fits a Topeak Mini-9 multi-tool, a patch kit, a spare tube, a micro blower with 2 spare CO2 cartridges and a pair of tire levers. High quality Velcro fasteners. Even on a super springy road, no problem opening the bag. It would have been nice if the straps were a bit longer, they fit very well when attached directly to my Cervelo P2 seatpost. Also perfect for mounting on the back of my XLab Sonic Wing.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Upgrades available

See if it fits your rig

Love the bright red color, material quality and saddle fit. However, to properly position this bag under your trike you may need branded products, pay attention to the exact velcro length specs (or they may not be long enough) and can be really good at reading tiny instructions or being creative. when fitted with the correct set of XLab fenders. Even the folks at my LBS were a little confused about how they fit in the back with the X-wing. They must be accompanied by a clear photograph of the…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Some bugs

Plenty Big Bike Carriers & Bags

I have a Cervelo P2 with X-Lab Sonic Wing. After reading some reviews about the mini bag being too small, I ordered both the X-Lab Mini Bag and the X-Lab Mezzo Bag. For reference, I also use the top pocket for keys, phone, and groceries. There was enough space for me in the mini bag. I pack a 700x25 butyl inner tube, a small box of tube patches and cement, a 16g tire inflator, 6 separate allen keys and 2 tire wrenches in my mini X-Lab bag. I returned the X-Lab Mezzo bag for two reasons. 1. The…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Security

Small but what I wanted.

As much as you can stuff in and still fit in the X-Lab Super Wing, there will be an inner tube (700), 2 tire levers, 1-2 CO2 and a CO2 outlet valve. Who's that guy who said it can fit in the phone too probably bought a big bag. It was tight even to fit so much in and I had to cut off all the velcro, which is fine because it can't fall through. The bag is well made and arrived as advertised. If you don't need to cram it in the X-Lab Super Wing, maybe an extra CO2 tank, some cash and half a bar/a

Pros
  • This is Amazing
Cons
  • Crumpled Package

The perfect sport racing kit

I keep it in my carbon fender on my bike. It fits like it was made for him. What was that. I've got a multi-tool, a shifter, patches, two tire levers, a spare chain pin and a tube in it. On long trips I carry a large tire bag to hold my wallet, phone, keys, another tube, extra suede oil, etc. It's not a trunk to store all your extra goodies. This is a MINI bag for storing some essentials in the empty space in the fender. On the other hand, it's so small that I had to change it for a race and I…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Nothing here
