Hi,
Any thoughts on what size/brand saddle pack to go for? (I only ask as I am one of those people who invariably buy the wrong thing and then find out when it is too late).
The Topeak Aero Wedge looks all right, but not sure about size, or what I should aim to fit in it. CO2 bottle, a few tyre levers, a spare innertube....am I missing anything?
Up til now I have gone without, but a colleague keeps telling me stories about punctures halfway round the cycle leg, and how important the saddle pack and its contents are so I am getting paranoid.
Thanks all.

I carry 2 ineer tubes 2 CO2 canisters and the pump thing that gos with them.
Tyre levers plus multi tool thing.
You also need room for mobile phone keys and some cash.
It all depends on what you want from it. If its flash bling them spend some cash but if its practical and functional them go for budget but big enough. I had a Lidl's bag for a while but it was to small for the CO2 stuff.
I have a pack of tissues which always stay in my jersey pocket
at this point it is stuffed to bursting but at least it doesnt rattle!
No occasionally i find the chain used to slip off the bottom of the cassette and get stuck - it took quite a bit of effort to get it back on (have since had gears indexed which stopped it) but getting the chain out mean both hands covered in chain oil, which made drinking (without dropping the bottle/tasting oil) difficult to say the least, not to mention gels oh and i would also forget and wipe sweat off my face on the run streacky black hand prints down your cheeks and across the forehead only look ok if you're playing at being a soldier!
