because I don't like ruining my $200 sunglasses by rubbing them with a dirty jersey. Its also convenient for the times that I want to take them off and I can put them in the bag and then in my jersey pocket.

hand pump that works - CO2 save a few minutes but you have to store them till you find trash can unless you are the ones leaving trash...
it is weight weenies not RBR --- 13 lbs. bike then strap on a 5 lbs. saddle pack. I have the lightest shoes ever but just can't wear them.
jersey pockets are there for a reason.
food/gel left pocket. tube/pump center pocket. cell,tool etc. right pocket.
just wear a backpack, problem solved

Left:
-2 gels
-1 bar
Right:
-mini pump
-extra Gatorade powder in a ziplock bag
Center:
-phone/ID/money
Cut off water bottle with a pre-glued tubular, 2 CO2 cartridges, CO2 chuck, 2 disposable gloves.
In 30+ years riding have:
*Have called to be picked up? Twice (broken der. hanger and 2 flats in same ride)
*Times I wished I had a multitool for repair/adjustment on the road: ZERO
*Broken chain: ZERO
*Broken cables: ZERO
Plan and maintain my bikes at home pre-ride!!

No to saddle bag!
Frame pump: I avoid carrying sizeable hard items like mini pump in my back pocket (after reading of back injury from pump in back pocket)
Cut-off bottle: pre-glued tub, 20ml of sealant, syringe, valve tool, one tyre lever. If I needed a 2nd bottle I'd toe-strap to seat.

Less is more.
Why two cartridges?
I use a lezyne road caddy with a 50g multitool, continental race 28 light tube, two birzman tyres levers, 2 baby cable ties, cleaning cloth, parktool glueless patch kit, co2 head, 1 co2 cartridge. The saddlebag is extremely discrete compared to some others.
In my pockets:
Left - keys + food
Middle - wallet + phone + shedded layers
Right - food
I probably should've clarified further re the damge to your spine a hard object (like a pump) in your back pocket could cause in the event of a crash. I can't think of where else to carry my phone however (stopping short of wishing cell phones were never invented).
Less is more.

Nice, very interested in how secure that mechanism is and it's compatibilty across different saddles/rails.survivor wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 5:40 amHi guys! It has been some time.

Thanks!
We have been running robustness tests on the attachment mechanism on our test jig as well as outdoor real-life cycling actual usage and it is holding on pretty securely. We haven't experienced any issue.
We have been testing the mechanism across many saddles and it is universally compatible so far. No matter whether it is round metal rails or oversize oval carbon rails, the attachment works without any issue.

Once I opened a cartridge and there was no CO2 inside. I didn't have a mini pump... I cycled home on a flat rear for 12 odd miles (I always take my Specialized Air Tool mini now as a back up).
Why are people taking a wallet with them?! I just keep a note inside the rear of my phone case.
