Comments about Novara Medium Wedge Seat Bag:

Holds a tube, levers, patch kit, keys and a multi-tool. Holds on pretty well, with a nice shape that stays out of the way. I haven't tried the light loop yet, but it looks nice and beefy.

Only thing is, with trying to get the buckle through the small loop on the bottom, it's not all that quick to get on and off. If you just ignore the loop and pull the strap tightly, you're good to go though.

Service and delivery comments:

No instructions included; if you're not familiar with how these attach, you might need assistance. However, customer service via email is, in my experience, very quick.

Comments about Novara Medium Wedge Seat Bag:

I was putting together a road maintenance kit to for those "just in case" situations. Mainly having to deal with a flat. I originally got a Topeak bag but couldn't use it. The problem is that my seat is all the way forward on the post. There wasn't enough gap on the bottom part of the rails for the clip. So back it went. Instead I got this Novara bag. I got it because it uses elastic straps vs plastic clips. I was able to thread the straps through the seat rails with no problem and get it hooked up. The Velcro strap on the front attached to the seat post and it fit great, there was still enough room for my bike light on the back (though it has a strap for one if needed).

Once I got it on I was able to fill it with all the basics. A 700x30 tube, CO2 Inflation kit, spare cylinder, 3 tire levers, a mini tool, some cash and room to spare. If I really jammed it in there I could probably get about 1/3 more stuff in. But right now it all fits and is easy to access.

Pros
Flexible mounting system
Plenty of Room

Cons
No separate pocket like some of the others

Conclusion
If your looking for a good bag that will fit a variety of seats this one is a contender.

Comments about Novara Medium Wedge Seat Bag:

This bag is nice, but a bit too small. It will hold essentials, but if you are going for a long ride and need a tube, energy supplements, keys, etc, it gets pretty packed. If it were just a tad bigger I would say this was the best buy you could make for an under seat bag. It seems sturdy, connects to the bike well, and looks like it belongs under your seat. I just used it on a 300 + mile ride, and it was just too small to hold enough for each segment. I can say I would give it 5 stars if it was just a TAD bigger.....it's kind of an in between size. Overall the bag is nice, and for the price, it outweighs the benefits of the more expensive brands.

Comments about Novara Medium Wedge Seat Bag:

This little pack is exactly what it is advertised as. It is not huge, nor is it too small. Currently in mine I can easily hold: CO2 cartrige, CO2 connector, spare tube, multi-tool, and my keys. I have a little bit of room to spare so as my rides get longer I will have ample room for a gel pack or even a small granola bar, etc. There is a clip to attach your house/car key to inside the bag. The installation was very easy and fast and it is fairly aerodynamic. Highly recommended for those rides that are <100mi, but anything over that you may need to store more than this will carry.

Comments about Novara Medium Wedge Seat Bag:

This is a great little bag for my mountain bike. It stays tightly closed even on really rugged trails. It fits a spare tube, tiny patch kit, 2 tire irons, and my multi-tool.

My only complaint is the slightly awkward wrap-around strap. It's doable but a bit tricky to get the buckle strap in and out of this little loop thing when you're taking this bag on/off your bike. It's not a big deal though, because once it's your bike you don't really need to take it off.

Comments about Novara Medium Wedge Seat Bag:

This is a low cost, secure under seat bag. It is adjustable but the strap is very hard to thread through the holder (snap end is larger than the loop). Once it's set though, who cares. I wanted just the basics; this is small so don't expect to carry a lot of stuff. Key finder clip is nice. Seems well made. See if it holds up well.

Comments about Novara Medium Wedge Seat Bag:

This seat bag has really held its own well through all types of weather. Its very lite and fits my saddle well. Able to hold my keys, cell phone and bike tool without jamming anything in there. Could probably hold a tire tube as well. I have even ridden several miles with the rear hatch wide open only to arrive back at the truck with all belongings intact like nothing ever happened (pheeew). Good bag and great price!
