I currently have a Serfas Slimline (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012QMLVC/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0031QJ2RM&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0K03B61Y003GNTG64K8Q) seatbag that I had been using on my road bike, but I have to put a Bento Box on my mountain bike to carry a spare tube. So, I need a slightly larger bag to put a mtb tube in place of the road tube.

Here's what I need to carry in it.
- Pedros ICM tool (http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/TL402J01-Pedros+Icm+17+Multi+Tool.aspx)
- Mountain bike tube
- 2 CO2 cartridges and 1 inflator head
- Glueless patch kit
- Flat items: tire boot, ID, cash
- Keys

I'd also like it to be as thin as possible, especially at the front, because my narrow hips make my massive thighs ;) rub the seatbag and wear my shorts too fast. I prefer to be able to get these from Performance or a local shop. Any suggestions?

Planet Bike Med.(I think) seat bag: Park Tools I-beam, tube, 2 CO2, flat kit, tire iron
Fits under my 130 mm seat no rubbing.
You could probably stuff the other things in there too.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find that somewhere.
