Modified Saddle Bag for Time Trials |
I need to have a saddle bag for my local evening 10-mile time trials, which start 5-10 miles away from my house, to carry a spare tube and some basic tools. I don't have pockets in my skinsuit unfortunately.
The standard Topeak ProPack saddle bag, shown in the photo below, sits below the saddle, in the wind. It always irked me that the nicely aero-profiled seatpost on my TT bike was spoiled by a large lump of a saddle bag sitting directly behind it.

I later modified it further, to have a red light on the back too, to comply with CTT regulations requiring a rear light.
