Saddle wedge
I have the Topeak Compact Survival Tool Wedge. It fit just fine till today when I had my bike refitted and they scooted my saddle almost completely forward. Now the Saddle wedge won't fit on the rear of the bike as there is almost no room. Anyone know if they sell a wedge attatchement that will work for this situation? Any other ideas out there on how to make this fit now?

Put it in a container made out of an old water bottle, use your spare cage, or mount another.

Another reason I don't use bolt-on hard mounted wedges. Though the H2O bottle idea is pretty good I just use a strap on seat bag. I just ordered another one of these for my new CX bike. Micro-pump even straps to the outside!

Offset
Straight
If you have the former, you can get the latter and keep the saddle in the same place relative to the frame, but give you enough room to keep the bag. It will also look better.
It would be a lot cheaper to just get a new bag. Most saddle bags don't have the elaborate mounting system that Topeak uses and should fit regardless of the saddle position.
