Best Saddle Bag -- who makes it?

[oldfatslow]

I need a saddle bag to carry two 700c tubes, 3 CO2s, Levers, and a patch kit.

Previously I've been a Lezyne fan but I've had a ton of zipper failures and want to try something different.

Oh, and it must be black.

Who makes it and which one should I get?

Big fan of my Outer Shell (formerly Fog City) saddle bag. Handmade in SF. Available in black, as well as a bunch of other colors and material choices.

Plus 1....
This what I was about to recommend. I own one and I don’t think there is a better saddle bag out there for your size requirements.

Easily my favorite as well. Although it might be a touch small for all the OP wants to carry.

If it doesn't have to be a saddle bag, the Ornot Mini Handlebar bag could carry two tubes, with 3 CO2s and levers.

Fair point. I don't carry CO2 canisters, but 3 definitely seems to be a bit much for the Outer Shell. Mine currently fits a big 27.5"x1.75-2.5" sized tube, one Pedros lever, and a Park patch kit with room to spare.

Spur cycle! Expandable and carries the most about of stuff with the smallest profile. Super durable too! So simple and right.

Arundel "Dual" user here.

Two 700c tubes (with either 48mm or 80mm valves), two Co2 canisters, one Co2 pump head, 1 tire lever, 1 thin Park Tool TB-2 (tire boot), and a small multi-tool.
It's packed in there good & tight, but it works like a charm.

Been riding this setup for quite a few years.

Love my Outershell handlebar bag. Been riding with it on my commute bike practically every day for like 3 years now. Still awesome and holding up well.

Here's a bigger seatbag from him. NOt as tidy or svlete but looks pretty flexible for your uses: https://www.outershelladventure.com/...595c4rhsyfr6kq

Reminds me of the Fairweather bag but much cheaper!

Dont really like how a saddle bag looks on a bike. So I have one of these king kargo cages and am a huge fan. I use the mtn size on my road bike and can hold 2 tubes, a multitool, patch kit, tire level, and some other small things in there. I even used to carry a small lezyne pump in there previously (with one less tube)...

I endorse the King cargo cage too, added benefit of being in a lower muck position for me than a saddle bag.

Having owned the MTB size of these for several years, I (respectfully) call BS on the capacity or at least convenience. It's a cool idea for ONE 700c tube, a thin multitool, and a CO2. You could stuff more in there (a 2nd tube if they're both thin 18-23c size) but at that point it becomes really annoying to get anything in or out without a lot of fuss- and when it's raining or your ride buds are heckling your pathetic self by the side of the road to (FFS!) just put everything in your pocket and give up on it already- well, back to the convenience (and larger capacity) of a seat bag. I love King Cage cages, but this conflagration, not so much. I sold it in the classifieds, with all transparency and caveats, so somebody liked it I guess.

I really like the design of these made-in-USA Krieg bags that I first found at NAHBS/Richmond quite a few years back and I've bought quite a few since. They're big enough for a couple of tubes, a multitool and 1-2 CO2 cartridges (maybe 3 with narrow road tubes, I usually carry a couple of larger 28-35c tubes). Lots of colors, including (I think) plain black, but I like colors, too much black in my life already. I have half a dozen of these in "normal size", including (shamelessly) a Flanders Lion thing on my Sweet Fixie. Look around the web for re-sellers, there's lots of colors that aren't shown on the website.

These Krieg saddle bags are beautiful, sturdy and cool. My new one has little F bombs. Check them out.
