Which saddle bag to buy for my bike?

Bicycle saddle bags are used to carry a small storage space just under the back of the seat. Typically they are used to carry small tools and a spare inner tube.

Also, the design of your bike is an essential factor that can make one model or another more advisable. Ultimately, it is a matter of making the most of it so that the bag does not affect speed by offering too much air resistance.

There are also a number of features you should know about before choosing the model that best suits your needs. We will tell you about them below.

What size saddle bag should I choose?

It all depends on how you use your bike. If you're a daily rider, it's best to go for a model with a capacity of between 0.4 and two litres. If road cycling is your thing, the dimensions will be a little smaller with a minimum capacity of 0.2 litres. The aim is that the bag does not alter the aerodynamic design of the bike too much.

If you prefer to ride in the mountains, it's best if it's slightly larger, around a litre, so you can carry a larger spare. Bikepacking (attaching easily removable bags to your bike to travel with it) will allow you to carry much more capacity so you can include food, drink, clothes, a toiletry bag or towels, to name a few examples. Ideally, you should have a model with a capacity of six litres or more. In all the above cases you should check:

  • The quality of the fabric Opt for waterproofs and for those that offer greater resistance to continuous use.
  • The attachment system. This is an aspect that is all too easily neglected, but is crucial if you are looking for an item that integrates better with the saddle of your bike.
  • The price. The greater the capacity, the higher the cost, but the greater the usability and the greater the possibilities of taking on routes in different places. You decide.

The sum of the above factors results in a simple choice of the product that best suits your specific needs. We recommend that before selecting a model, you review each aspect carefully. This is the only way to ensure the best possible purchase.

How do I attach saddle bags to my bike?

It all depends on which system is included with each product. Usually the corresponding screws and nuts are included so that you can attach your bag to the saddle rails. It is also very common that the anchoring system is with straps to the rails and seatpost.

In addition, you must also fix it to the seatpost to prevent it from slipping. In the product box you will also find the necessary tools to make this operation easier. As they are small in size, don't hesitate to carry them with you in case the bag moves.

In terms of the load you will be carrying, especially if the bag is large, it would be advisable to look for a reference with inner pockets or compartments. The aim is that the load does not move downwards, thus weighing down your speed. It is also always advisable to carry just enough and to choose lightweight products so that you don't have any problems when you're on the move.

Each manufacturer has its own system for attaching the bag to the saddle. Usually you can install the base in a few minutes and then attach the bag itself (except in the case of micro models, which are sometimes in one piece). Check that it is securely attached before riding, that the load does not shift and that you can pedal normally.
