Road Caddy Saddle Bag

Decent Size-Durability an Issue

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I’ve had this saddle bag for 5 months. While the size is tight, it’s what I was looking for. Unfortunately the material that rests against the seat post/saddle is not durable. Mine wore through in 3 months of commuting. Not resting against any jagged edges just smooth seat post. Disappointing to say the least as I was expecting much better quality from Lezyne.

Perfect size

For me this is a perfect but minimal size bag. For road I carry a regular 700c tube, three CO2, an inflator, multi-tool, tire lever, tire boot and no glue patch kit. For gravel tubeless setup, a fat 700c tube, two CO2, tubeless repair kit, inflator, multi-tool, tire lever and tire boot. Yes, it takes some careful packing and is hard to zip fitting all that stuff, but it all fits and keeps a low profile on the bike. The multi-tool, inflator, and tubeless repair kit are all of course of the mini sized variety...

Way too small

I crammed a single 700 tube in here and I can't fit anything else. There's nothing useful about this bag.

The Sizing Sweet Spot

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

The bag finds the sweet spot between too small and just right. I wanted something low profile, but big enough to fit long-ride essentials. With some brut force and advanced Tetris skills, I managed to fit my multi-tool, one CO2 cartridge, a tube repair kit, and a spare tube. The bag neatly tucks beneath the saddle and does not distract from my bikes clean aesthetics. Consequently, I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a minimalist bag.

Wrong Picture for the XL

The picture is not accurate for the XL. I figured it would be a little bit bigger, but it's a lot bigger and does not fit neatly under the saddle, instead projecting a couple of inches out. Seems to be well constructed and would be great if you want to bring a tube, tools, inflater, CO2, keys, and some snacks.

Great Minimalist/Weight Weenie bag

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I love this bag, it's easy to install and take-off the bike, and is extremely secure, you don't feel it while riding at all and I think it looks really good. It does soak up water, but keeps contents relatively dry for not being waterproof/resistant at all. This bag is small, I have tire levers, a spare tubolito tube, multi-tool, and some other odds and ends in it and it's maxed out. I carry my pump by my bottle cage, and light on my seatpost. Everything you might need for most rides, and nothing you don't. I would recommend this if you're looking for something smaller/sleeker.

A little too small

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I wanted a low profile seat bag, but it is so low profile it is almost unusable for me. Takes an act of god to get a road tire, levers and tool and zipped up. A little time consuming to put on and take off as well. Not a fan.
