Size small is perfect for fitting essentials
Hoping this review will be helpful to others, as I wish I could have found a similar review when I made my purchase.
For starters, I am reviewing in BV saddle bag in SIZE SMALL. Many have said the bag is too small. If you plan on putting all of your personal belongings + the repair essentials, then yes, this bag is too small.
However, if all you are looking to fit is a full repair kit, this bag fits everything perfectly. Snug? Yes. But that is the whole point. I don't need extra space in my repair kit saddle. By full repair kit, I specify the following items:
- Portland Design Works Shiny Object CO2 Inflator
- 12 16g threaded CO2 cartridges
- Topeak Mini 6 tool kit (look this item up, it is the smallest one Topeak makes)
- 27.5 spare tube
- 1 Pedros tire lever
That is a respectable list in my book. If you're looking to also squeeze in your phone, it may be too tight and I recommend going for the next size up. Adding a photo to give a real glimpse of how everything fits. Highly recommended if looking for a saddle bag just large enough to fit all the essentials.
Hope this was help. Happy riding.
