I am debating getting behind-the-saddle cage holders. Should I get the minoura or the xlab flatwing. the advantage to the xlab is the straps to carry an extra tube, and the CO2 cartridge carrier. I was thinking of jerry rigging an extra tube and CO2 cartridge to the minoura. Any suggestions? Thanks
The flatwing seems to be popular at the races I have been at. I havn't used either.

I'm using the X-lab Flatwing and really like it! I've heard quite a few other triathlete (or duathletes for that matter) saying that the regular X-wing gets in the way when jumping on or getting off the bike. The flatwing doesn't have this problem... I'm not using the x-nut or x-strap though (although I probably will in the future....)
