Mountainsmith Bike Cube Deluxe - Worth it?

[MattTuck]

I've been doing a lot more rides starting from my car (rather than home) and so I've been keeping my bike stuff in a duffle bag.

Mountainsmith makes a bike specific bag, Link here. (http://mountainsmith.com/products.asp?productId=51&categoryId=45&subCategoryId=0&subCategory2Id=0)

Curious if anyone has it, if it is worth the money, or other solutions to carry our various accoutrement.

Thanks.

I have the Pearl Izumi Duffle Bag:

It is really nice, I have had it for 4 years and use it all the time, big with pockets for your shoes, helmet, tools and clothes.

I have the Mountainsmith cube as my race day bag. I don't have any complaints. Some of the internal pockets seem a little useless to me, but maybe they make sense for other people. It holds everything I could possibly need for a race.

Edit: you linked to a deluxe bag that I've never seen. I have the basic cube for $36.

Got a mountainsmith a couple of years ago off Chainlove and have really enjoyed it. Shoes, gloves.glasses & helmet all in one place. I mostly keep it in my closet, but if I have to travel for a ride, everything is good to go.

the deuxe has some kind of tool holder and a padded pad. these things I'd never use so I got the basic. it works great for me.
