Arundel dual owners
Hello,
In the endless search for a saddle bag that will not touch my legs, I came across the Arundel dual. For those of you with this bag, is it a big bag, does it touch your legs? Can any one of you take a picture of the bag and seat? What items do you carry in the bag?

Thanks for the feedback

It's an awesome bag. Just buy it, you'll like it. It won't come close to your legs as long as you don't overfill it. I only carry one tube. I suppose you could fit two if you really tried.

Thank you both, it says it holds two tubes but I was skeptical.

How big of a bag do you want/need?
This is what I use:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/SCICON-VORTE...item564b08313d
I have only one bag, that I can easily move from one bike to the other using the attachment clamp below:

Since I started using the SciCon bag system I never had an issue with damaged bib shorts.
Check it out!

This, I got one two weeks ago. Now have about 120 miles without a tool pack in my jersey pocket. It's liberating after spending the last 2-3 years with my middle jersey pocket weighed down.
Freaking amazing little bag. Tucks up real small and snug against bottom of saddle, no wagging about.

I use an Arundel Dual, and I can carry: 2 tubes, 2 levers, 1 multitool, and I can squeeze in a small patch kit if I feel the need as well. You have to roll teh tubes up very tightly, but it's doable.
And it's the best bag I've used, I love it.

I have one tube, one small multitool, tire levers, and a few patches in the Arundel Dual. It is about the same width as the saddle rails -- it may be wider if you stuff more stuff in it. So if your legs rub the saddle rails, it is possible they will rub the bag too. But you might not know for sure until you try it.

Oh, yeah. I have two tubes, a tire lever, a CO2 cannister and chuck, and a tiny patch kit. Everything I need.
