It’s well worth it. I bought three, two with the bottle holder, and one with the extended compartment. I have two road bikes, so this way I can change out depending on the needs without switching both bikes at once.

I’m 6’4” so obviously I have more of an elevated seat post than most. But, I have about 5” of clearance from the bottom of the bag (when full) to the tire.

It’s perfect for me. Holds everything I need plus more if I want. I cant recommend it enough.
