How light is(n't) your saddle bag?

[tinozee]

Somehow I can get through 30,000 miles since I got rid of saddle bag with zero issues. Just put crap in a zip lock and stuff in jersey pockets. I even carry extra bottles in jersey too.

If I had a nickel for every ziplock bag of stuff, keys, phones, etc. I've seen on the side of the road I'd buy a new bike.

And how, pray tell, are these ziplock baggies just flying out of pockets? Has never happened to me in well over 30k miles of riding...

I don't know, I use a saddle bag.

they probably dropped out of saddle bags that'd been left open or just fell apart

[rmerka]

You're probably right!

125g, plus a Lezyne pump in the jersey pocket

Most times I put the bag in the Jersey too though.

I thought mine was heavy at 475g

I ride clinchers and carry the following:
2 Tubes
2 16g CO2 cartridges and adapter
9 tool multi tool

In my pockets I carry phone, wallet, and 1 tire lever (when I remember it).

* 1 Conti supersonic tube in a plastic bag with valve extension & cap mounted
* 2 Conti tire levers, 1 modified to have a spoke hook & 1 just lightened a bit
* sandpaper
* 6 patches - 4 small 2 large
* glue
* 3 banknotes for Haribo & tire patching
* another valve extender
* 2 cable ties, just in case
* Ritchey CPR-9 tool, with the 6mm allen cut off, under 20g now
* 2.5mm allen key for Sram derailleur adjustment
* a pair of surgical rubber gloves, if I'm out on the bike with the white bar tape and have a drivetrain problem

I'm using a Scicon Elan 210 Caronium saddle bag, with:

1x Continental Race 28 tire
1x Set Tacx Mini Tyre levers T4885 (Very lightweight and well designed tire levers: http://www.remo-knops.com/5101/tacx-min ... ers-t4885/
1x Topeak Micro AirBooster CO2
1x CO2 cartridge 12 gr

0.0g, however, I do ride with a Garmin Virb on the back of my bike to record the ride.

I keep it simple
Lezyne carbon pump - mounted on seat bottle cage. Pump weighs less than a canister and inflator and can be used multiple times
Arundel Uno saddle bag
1 x Conti race light tube
1 x Pack Lezyne or Park patches
2 x Michelin tyre levers
Total about 280g

This is pretty much what I do except I carry the mini pump in my jersey pocket. I hate the look of any pump mounted on a bike.

For most rides when I'm not venturing too far:

1 tube
1 pedro lever
1 Lezyne road drive alu pump (in pocket)

I keep everything in my jersey pocket.
