🔧 XLAB Gearbox Review

Great product. but not for what I wanted to do with it. This case will not fit 29" or 27.5" mountain bike tubes. It will fit a 28-40c road tube (gravel) if you don't have anything else in your bag. It fits 25c road bike inner tubes with tools to replace and inflate this inner tube.

For a surprising amount of gear. The zip opening makes it easier to access items than those with a screw top. We attach an inner tube, two CO2 cartridges and an inflator, a small multi-tool, a pair of tire changers, a small pocket knife and a small bottle of liquid soap. Everything you need in a race.

This is a nice little compact gearbox. Holds 1 tube, multi-tool, tire tools, CO2 tool and 2 cartridges. Everything I need for my road bike. Worked great until I hit 100 miles of bumps. He fell out of my Gorilla XT's cage 3 TIMES! Last time I couldn't find it between the tall weeds in the ditch. :( Now I have to replace it along with all the tools, pipes and cash. Would give it 5 STARS if it didn't fall out and leave me empty handed.

Fits my 38mm tire, patch kit, 3 levers, multi tool and 2-3 Newton bars. With a basic $7 aluminum cage, it's secure and doesn't rattle, and the exterior feels grippy. The head of the zip fits under the cage so it cannot vibrate, the long side of the zip pocket fits into a groove in the bottle cage. Great, the bike feels faster out of the saddle when the weight is low and out of the seat. Update: A few months and it's holding up great. It doesn't dust inside, the zippers hold up well.

Love this case! It's compact, well made, the carbon effect looks really cool and it fits unobtrusively in a bottle cage. unfortunately it is too small for me. I bought this to hold my phone, but you'll be hard pressed to find anything other than an iPhone 5 - iPhone 6/Android users look elsewhere when looking for a phone holder. The 700x28 pipe was also quite difficult to mount here. The indented back allows the bag to fit securely in the bottle cage. The zipper looks and feels good. it's just…

I carried a micro sized saddlebag for a long time and after getting a new IV pole I had to look for a new way to carry my multi tool, some medication, my wallet and keys . My goal was to find something sleek, understated, and I really didn't want another bag hanging off my frame. I looked up bottle cage packs and found a few and even bought a few from Revain that looked modest (an all black carbon fiber look) but when I got them they were really big - about the size of a large one Bottle for 28
