Silca flat kit.
Silca has gotten these flat kits in two versions back into stock. I don't think that they are quite as good as their original designs but pretty close.. I just bought a couple of them and loaded with a fairly heavy multipurpose tool, levers, CO2 cartridge and filler head it weighs half a kilogram exactly.
I use the asymetrico but others prefer the more standard premio or mattone. https://silca.cc/collections/packs-on-bike-1 |

I use Ortlieb micro bags by default https://tinyurl.com/x2mbvhd4 (got one as a gift and then got another and some seat mounts so I can swap them between bikes). Its been decades since I owned an affirmatively bad seat pack -- like one that falls off or unzips or has other problems -- apart from self-inflicted problems like it is too small. It seems like the market is so full of choices that its just a matter of personal preference. I'd be curious to know if there is some super-bag that is demonstrably better than others. -- Jay Beattie. |

I used an old threadless stem and a cutdown handle bar to make a seatpost mount for my handlebar bag. I works really well and I can carry snacks, repair kit, rolled up tights from the cool early morning and my rain jacket plus a cable lock without any problem. And the weight doesn't affect the bicycle steering. Cheers |

I own two versions of the Ortlieb Ultimate Classic handlebar bag, a somewhat old one, and a very old one. Ortlieb specifies 7 literes. Front view is similar, but it's almost a cube. https://www.ortlieb.com/media/downloads/anleitung/ultimate_six_7L_8.5L.pdf https://www.ortlieb.com/de_en/ultimate-six-classic+F3122 An even bigger bag wouldn’t fit in a racing handlebar (drop bars). https://www.mystrobl.de/Plone/radfahren/technik/komponenten/v-brake/view.html -- Wir danken für die Beachtung aller Sicherheitsbestimmungen |
