What saddle bag do you guys recommend these days?

[Geodroid]

looking for something LIGHT, that will also fit a standard sized smartphone, keys, tubes, and levers.

Also what minipump do you guys recommend these days? Thinking I'll either throw the pump in the bag too or strap it to the downtube with a mount.

thanks

I would strongly recommend using search function, such topics are well covered in depth. Some of them are very recent.

Too many bags to choose from. For the pump, I recommend the Lezyne pocket drive if your looking for a small pump that will fit in most small saddle bags.

Tube, levers, allen key set all go in a speedsleeve under the saddle.

Keys, phone, Lezyne mini-pump, and whatever else all go in my jersey pockets.

My current favourite is the Lizard Skins Super Cache. It fits everything I need (mini tool, patch kit and my specialized combo2 pump (which is huge)) with room to spare for phone, keys, money and facemask (for the worst case). It also doesn't look as big as it is, and fits nicely under my saddle. Looks are on point imo. And I can easily take it off my roadbike and put it on my MTB.

What I wouldn't recommend is my pump. It's way too big for what I need and you'd be better off going for a CO2 cartridge and inflator or a road specific mini pump. I also suspect that pumping up road bike tires by hand will be near impossible, as it has fairly high volume.

I have put a retro looking wrap style one with a Boa dial on my #1. Bike
Made by Silca
It is light but best of all it is very high quality, big enough to hold tube, bomb, bomb head, levers , tool & the £20 note, and everyone really likes it.

No saddle bag under any circumstances.

yeah i was looking at the speedslev but sadly it seems it has no place to hook on a tail light? what do you do for tail light?

Silca for me.

A Rapha Essentials Case. Fits a lot better in your jersey pocket than a saddle bag.
