LEZYNEMicro Caddy Bicycle Saddle Bag, Aero-Shaped, Water Resistant, Quick Access, Multi-Tool Sleeve, Compact Bike Bag

This is a review of 5 products. I am doing one review for all five because they all work together so well and are all 5 star rated. FIRST is the “SKS-Germany Anywhere Attachment” which I added because I needed an extra water bottle for summer rides. It also was needed to mount the pump bracket since my lower frame tube is to big mount on the stock braze-ons. The pump bracket was rubbing the frame. This system works very well and is extremely secure. I have this on another fat bike for a couple of years and it has not moved. SECOND is the” Lezyne Sport Drive Hv Hand Pump”. It is very small and you need a lot of pumping to adjust a couple of pounds on a fat tire but it works well. I wanted a small, light pump. You do need to attach the hose to the valve first then attach the pump. THIRD is the “Marque Dual Bike Bottle Cage”. These are very light and hold the water bottle very securely. I don’t do big jumps, but have bounced through many rock gardens and the bottles are secure. Just make sure you push the bottle in so that the bottle groves are secure in the cage. FOURTH is the “Polar Breakaway Insulated Water Bottle”. I have been using these for years and love them. Just wanted to get a couple of more that matched the bike better. I fill these bottles full with ice and cold water. They hold ice for at least an hour on a 85 degree day and after 2 hours the water is still ice cold. FIFTH is the “Lezyne Micro Caddy Saddle Bag”. This is a medium. It looks and is really small. However, it holds everything I carry in a bigger seat bag which I have on my other bikes. I have a Topeak mini 9 tool kit, utility knife with all kinds of goodies, digital tire gauge, tire levers, patch kit and Flex Seal tape, and a small rag packed in. The Velcro strap secures the bag to the seat rails. This thing does not move. Only minor issue is that the Velcro gets stuck on the loops at the bottom of the bag and makes it tricky when reattaching. I did grease the zipper but is still kind tricky to open and close. Still, a perfect bag for a Dropper post.There you have it! 5 Reviews for the price of 1.

The media could not be loaded. I've seen a lot of back and forth in the reviews about how much these things can actually hold. The small has a .4L capacity so you can come to your own conclusions about what it can hold but if you don't have other bags to reference, here's how I do it. I use Tubolito 29'er tubes since they are extremely thin yet durable. They are admittedly expensive but I primarily use these on tubeless mountain bikes and I've yet to actually need the tube (going on several years now without actually deploying one). Coupled with plugs, the tube really is a last resort.In these bags (I own four of them across four bikes, all configured with similar contents), I carry: 1 Tubilito 29'er tube, 1 KOM Cycling Plug Kit (red tube in the video, I tap the cap in the vid to get the plugs out), 1 CO2 air valve, 1 CO2 cartridge, 1 Power/Quick Link (chain link, in the little plastic bag in the video), 1 derailleur hanger, 2 tire levers, 1 multi-tool with chain-breaker (Topeak Mini 20 Pro). It's everything I need for most rides. If I do anything a bit more "backcountry", I'll bring a hydration pack with further essentials in the pockets.The only criticism that i have, and it's honestly somewhat to be expected, is that it's not entirely waterproof. The zippers and the fact that the multi-tool is enclosed with a velcro flap should give that away. I have had one cheaper multtool collect rust in the tool pack but it hasn't happened since stepping up to a nicer tool (the Topeak mentioned).

This is the older version of this bag, which I have used for a few years now. I have several items from Lezyne and they all work well with thought, sleek design.Pros:-Material is light weight-Attaches to the bike through the seat rails, no strap around the seatpost. This keeps the bag very close to the seat.-Easily removed and placed on another bike-Thoughtful design (pockets inside for levers and an external pocket for multi tool)-Water resistant design (may or may not be waterproof to some extent)Cons:-Must open the straps which attach the bag to the rails in order to get the multi tool out (Yes, I realize I said the outside pocket was smart design, but I do not feel like this is contradictory)-Zipper can 'jingle' while riding, so it must be wedge in between where the straps meet the bag (not a big deal, but wanted to mention it. On the newer version of this bag, they replaced the metal zipper flange with a rubber coated thin rope (an improvement in my eyes)Neither Pro nor Con but Observation:-Bag really meant to hold just the essentials (I have 2 tubes, 2 levers, and a multi tool in mine).
