Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Topeak Aero Wedge Pack, Small, F11 Fixer

Does anyone have any experience with this particular bag? I am looking for a bag that won't really move around during my rides. I also don't like the seatpost velcro closure that my old Jandd pack has.

I was about to jump on this Topeak bag but have read some accounts where the plastic bracket that holds the bag to the seat rails (which is why I was interested in it) has broken after only a short use. So, I though I'd ask you heathens (oops, not the mtb forum), fine ladies and gentlemen, whether you've had any experience with it and if yours broke, too.

I have this bag on two of my bikes and on my wife's and have had no problems. It was especially handy when I used to keep my credit card/cash, phone and keys in there. If I stopped at a cafe, bar or coffee shop, I could just pop the whole bag off and take it in with me.

I can't comment on this bag but I was seeking a good bag that did not use a stupid velcro strap around the saddle (which causes premature short/bib wear) and ended up with the Lezyne Micro Caddy which is perfect for me. Just enough room for a spare tube, patch kit, co2 and tire levers. It does not rub and only uses the saddle rails for support.

Another good option is the Fizik integrated saddle/bag but I don't have a Fizik saddle.

Ooo, I hadn't seen the Fizik stuff. I wonder if it's time for a saddle change? Hmmm.
