Fresh Goods Sunday - Cannondale Speedster 2 seat bag

When I bough the slate I needed a new seat pack and this was nice and bright to match the Slate's logos on the frame. I have not used Cannondale seat packs before so was unsure on the quality etc. Once I removed it from the card and started filling it with a spare tube, multi tool, tyre levers, patch kit, chain link, tyre patch etc it soon filled up. There is a small inner pocket on the side of the bag with a flap which fastens shut with Velcro. There is also a small pocket on the outside on the bottom of the bag. The size I bought was a medium 0.5 litre and still has got some spare room in side. They also come in black and white if you don't like the fluro colour. The weight is not too bad either - 93g. The material is waterproof and so is the zip, this has not been tested yet to full British weather!
RRP £19.99 which is not too bad at all, but as ever shop around for a deal.
There is a good review also on road cc

  • Keep your gear secure and organised with the Cannondale Speedster 2 Seat Bag Medium. This medium capacity saddle bag is ideal for storing all of your ride essentials, including tubes, tools, CO2 canisters and tyre levers in. The extra inside pocket makes it far easier to organise whatever you decide to put in the bag so you can find what you need in an instant.
    The lower external pocket is perfect for a multitool, which you can whip out in an instant for quick adjustments to your bike. The durable tarpaulin finish on the rear and bottom of the bag helps to combat road spray and dirt and the reinforced zip is more than capable of lasting through the worst of conditions.
    Fixing the bag to your saddle is easy too as the three Velcro straps are easily adjusted and secured so the bag does not wobble around. A reflective tail loop has also been added for extra visibility and the option to mount a rear light to the bag.
