Does it impact the way your seat flexes?

No. At least not that I know of.

stinkbag? plumber's rack? plumbers pack?

I use a small piece of leather wrapped around the binding bolt. You can barely see it in the picture. My first bag eventually shredded from the friction of the bolt.

I take it that by "inconspicuous" you mean that your tools will be safe from would be thieves when you leave your bike locked, right? So the appeal would be to people who use multiple bags and packs and don't want to forget their tools or worry about them. I think if you play up those features you might sell a good amount of these. At first look i got the impression it was targeted to the "weight weenie" crowd, as they don't care to have bags hanging off any part of their bike. But they also don't use brooks saddles. The average brooks user likes to have a carradice or similar
so marketing wise I'd play up these features:
-never be without your toolkit again
-save room in your other bags
now, the biggest problem for your product will be the seat flex issue b/c nobody wants metal bits putting pressure on their soft bits.

The interior of the bag has 2 separate pouches. I put the tube and gloves in one pouch. This is the section of the bag that butts up against the underside of the seat. You don't feel anything at all. Really the divider that creates the 2 pouches keeps the metal bits from rubbing against/maybe puncturing the tube. In the larger pouch I first stuff the patch kit down the bottom of the bag. Then fill it with the tools.

You guys are coming up with some funny names.
At this rate it should be called $&#! Bag.

Called leverage for tight nuts and bolts.

Gloves that help keep hands clean during maintenance.:innocent::p

Yeah I realized that after the fact. Service station, what's that? :rolleyes:

I like "Craw Bag" myself.
