CoBean Black Silkworm Reflective Trim seat Saddle Bag for Cycling Bike Bicycle

I started to ride my bike again after 5-6 years. After riding it again the chain snapped. Then I replaced the chain and did it wrong and it came off. Long story short I didn't know what else would go wrong so I grabbed a pouch for my bike. Thought it would look best to have on under the seat. Well I set it there and it didn't look so good with my *seat.* I ended up putting the pouch in a different location on the frame. My frame was too large to use the built in straps for this pouch, so I added some zip ties to make it .. well make stay but it still opens by the zipper. ;p I carry a screw driver and a chain removal tool with some extra links at the moment inside this.Also.. I never shined a light on the sides of this thing but the material looks as if it is reflective (yet i didn't confirm that with a light).

This size is perfect for my bike. It doesn't stick out too far and holds what I need it to hold.On a typical ride, I put in it the following:1 tube1 16 tool multitooldrivers license$20 in cashelectrolyte tablets for refills on water bottleI usually have a little bit of spare room in case I need to carry something else. I dont think that a C02 cartridge would fit with all the same items, though, as it is already pretty tight. I use a frame pump instead. Overall I think it is a great value if you don't want to pay a lot for a good saddle bag.

Seems like a nice little pouch; well made and convient for spare tire, co2 cannisters. I found mounting it as in the picture does look a bit weird, and makes it tougher to mount my rear facing bike light, since my saddle is not as high as shown in the picture (how many people's are?); the carrier sticks out in an ungainly way, so I turned it upside down and mount it with the curved side up, so it fits almost flush with the saddle, looks much better, the zipper is still readily accessible, and seems to give me a bit more room for the light.

This is a great solution for carrying keys and a cell phone if you're looking to free pocket space. I also wear cycling jerseys with the rear pockets but let me tell you that it's annoying when you have a phone and keys back there. Not only are they heavy and drag the shirt down but they block the ventilation and create sweat spots on your back, not to mention the condensation gets your phone wet.For reference, I have an iPhone 5 (with holster case), car key w/ carabiner and house key. This pouch holds those two perfectly fine and also my Gerber multi-tool. You'll never know it's there and with over 200 miles it has never fallen off or become loose.

The seat post tiedown is not large enough to fit around my seatpost which allows the bag to swing a lot while riding. I was able to easily remedy it by getting a velcro strap but it was annoying to have the problem.I have a patch kit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SJZ0GU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1) and a small toolkit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001B1638/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_3) in the bag with a pair of tire wrenches and I can barely fit my phone, I don't think I could fit a tube with the tools in there. I wish it was slightly larger, I think if it wasn't tapered it would fit a lot more.Overall I am satisfied though. I would go bigger for sure if find myself needing another one but theres no need to switch it out right now.

I bought this for a good price but in the end I had to buy a different one. This saddle bag did function but it was hard to open and close. The zipper was difficult to operate (it was stubborn) and the bag was too far under the seat which made it even more difficult to open and close. When I could get the zipper open, my cell phone and keys fit nicely inside the bag. In the end, it just wasn't worth the struggle. I have since purchased a bag from another manufacturer and that one works perfectly.

Good amount of room--I can fit my bike tool, a spare tub, tire levers, tire repair stuff and my cell phone in it. I like that it uses clips to attach instead of velcro...my last bag stopped working when the velcro wore out. It is hard to unzip though since the zipper is so close to the bottom of the seat.

holds everything i need, no problemno money probs here, cheap price will solve 'em.reflective strip is nice so cars can see mealso had to take back reflector off so this could beunder my seat without scrunching too much.get this to store your flat kit and such.
