Cycle bag and tools

Get what you pay for IMO - the Topeak cost me £20, complete waste

I have a Twopeak wedge bag and with careful packing it is surprisingly capacious, and I've been using it for a couple of years. I can get into it: two 28mm tubes, levers, multitool, chain tool, adjustable spanner, mini pliers, mini pump, spare AAs, miscellaneous bits and pieces like spare cleat bolts, and still have room for two mini pork pies if the expansion zip is undone.

I carry the Topeak rocket Race but as a back-up as I tend to use CO2 first as I'm lazy

Saddlebag wise wedge most of the time and longer trips an Ortlieb Saddlebag to carry a bit extra and a decent lock.

Another Lezyne user, I have a couple of lezyne pumps and they are far better than any others I have used. If you can stretch the budget a little you could buy the Pressure drive CFH which doubles as a C02 inflator http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lezyne-pressure-drive-cfh-c02-pump-with-free-cartridge/

The saddle bag is the one I use and does what it says on the tin... I have one of the multi tools you link to, it's okay, but the tyre levers are flimsy and one of mine snapped when trying to get a Gatorskin off.

Absolutely the same experience here - the only difference being I use a Specialized pump and Topeak Shuttle tyre levers

I'm toying with the idea of grabbing one of these: http://www.halfords.com/cycling/accessories/bags-baskets/topeak-wedge-sidekick

I find the "up and over" zip format of most saddle bags to be a real pain to get in to. I usually have to loosen the straps holding it in to get in it.

Another happy Lezyne pump owner here - I much prefer the little screw-on hose you get with most Lezyne pumps, which for me is a lot easier to use than trying to push a pump head onto a flat tube without shoving the valve back into the tyre.

I have a Topeak Pocket Rocket Pump http://www.wiggle.co.uk/topeak-pocket-rocket-pump/ . Have only used it twice, once to test it and once on the road, and it worked fine for me: got me sufficient pressure to continue my 15 mile ride home.

I also have a Topeak Wedge Bag 2 (Clip On) saddle bag and it does the job http://www.wiggle.co.uk/topeak-wedge-bag-2-clip-on-medium-saddle-bag/ . I store tyre levers, multi tool, a couple of puncture repair kits and can store two 25mm tubes in there.

The bags are great. I have always gone straight for the Topeak ones. Currently have the medium on hybrid and small on road. I have a Lezyne Pressure Drive mini pump. No gauge but I would imagine I can put about 80psi in with it. The little hose helps as there's not as much risk of ripping the valve from the tube whilst pumping.

Good price if nobody else bids. There only just over £10 brand new. That bag looks like a small though.

This is of course a great option if you're running two cages, but you could use any bottle.
