Mini frame bag?

Post by FLV »

Does anyone know of a mini frame bag that goes inside the front triangle, right at the front.

Its just for general riding really, to keep tools and a tube. Same way little saddle bags have generally been used but in the frame out of the way of dropper posts or indeed crud.

Thinking 0.5L sort of size?

I got a custom one made for the front triangle of my Fargo, for exactly that place and reason. Ordered it from Beerbabe https://www.beerbabe.co.uk , only took a week to make and was a very reasonable £17. Its really well made and being made from recyled innertubes should be pretty waterproof :-bd

I use an Alpkit top tube bag - other makes are available.

This is at the rear of the triangle but should fit further forward if you wanted.

Dave... it might be a bit spendy but I'm sure its either raapha or Apidura have started doing such things. Not too small either and will no doubt be well made... I think its called the Race edition

Restrap small frame bag, bit expensive though, and probably a bit big for general riding.

I have one of these and have used it on a few different bikes (currently on my Camino gravel bike and has enough space for a mini pump, a couple of tubes and a mutli tool). I think it pretty much fits the requirements you mention and is reasonably priced. Decent quality as well.
