S5 seat bag
Postby warthog1 » Sat Nov 30, 2013 12:10 am
Anyone managed to find a seat bag that works with the S5 aero post?
I bought one with my last order but it is useless due to the lump of the rear seat mount. Too small anyway.
I need one that will fit a tube levers a couple of co2 canisters and maybe a multi tool. Any suggestions?

Alternatively, you could modify the seatpost if your confident u will never use the back hole for more setback ie chop it off. Conversely, the new S3 has a nice single position seat post which fits the S5... I've been thinking of swapping myself....

- Transferable, so you don't need multiple saddle bags and is therefore cheaper.
- Being attached to you it gets less rattle as you raise you body off the saddle for bigger hits.
- You can put the important things in it that you might usually put in your jersey pockets, so less likely to lose them in a crash.
- Doesn't uglify your bike.

Bloody hell you have got the seat forward. :8Dr_Mutley wrote:I'm using the clip in fizik ATM, which works well... I've just changed my setup significantly (saddle up 25mm, and forward 50mm), and are running much less setback than u. The fizik saddle bag rests against the rear of the post but causes no issue...

I've thought about a fizik saddle bag but have heard of a couple breaking and falling off. You lose everything then.
That S3 seat post looks promising thanks.

I hadn't thought of that thanks.Nobody wrote:Another options is a waist or bum bag. Advantages:

I'm thinking it might get a bit sweaty and chafe after a few hours in the saddle though?

Didn't/don't notice a problem with it, even when MTBing at low speeds. Cheap to try anyway.warthog1 wrote:I'm thinking it might get a bit sweaty and chafe after a few hours in the saddle though?

Cant complain about that.Dr_Mutley wrote:... Although mines done about 40000kms and hasn't come off.....
It probably makes it more likely to happen if you load the thing up with a house brick. I've got no idea how much weight they were carrying.

I get a latex tube, 2 CO2s, CO2 chuck, 2 levers, a valve extender, plumbers tape, patches, glue, and a small ratchet & bits in mine... So it's quite functional although quite small...warthog1 wrote:Cant complain about that.Dr_Mutley wrote:... Although mines done about 40000kms and hasn't come off.....

It's a tight fit and it only holds a tube and levers/puncture kit. Better than nothing I s'pose. Would rather it held a bit more gear though.

Have you got a photo of your P5 goer though? It might be an option if I want to carry more in future. The leyzne bag is chockers.

By the look of it, the P5 seat post is even longer than what you have on your S5, so my solution would work for you:
http://xlab-usa.com/rocket-pocket-xl.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
That's what I'm using. These are usually aimed at Triathletes, but they work well to store two tubes, CO2 cannisters, a valve for those and tyre levers. However, it will block your light, so you might need to mount that from the saddle rails (Moon comet comes with a clamp for that).

Do you run the 2 straps around the post and single strap around the rails?

Yes.

Thanks for patiently answering the idiot.
I'll be posting my curly question soon enough on the topic of an irritating Magura hydraulic brake issue (not staying centered).

How did the lezyne bag fair over time?warthog1 wrote:Thanks G-B. The seat bag that is on there is doing the job. Spare tube and CO2 cannister + puncture repair kit. It's a squeeze but seems to be hanging in there

The zip on my lezyne bag decided to fail half way down a descent and spew all its contents over about 5kms... Lezyne weren't interested in hearing about it...

It's just big enough but I'm pretty happy with it.
The commuter does more k's these days so part of the reason it remains untouched I'm sure.

What is good it is simple to change between my two roadies, the S5 and the Bottecchia. So suits me.
Not the most pretty but functional and done thousands of kays and hasn't fallen off. The seams are starting to wear so i think i will wear it out before i loose it.
