Yeah similar size, different shape. I canuse the old possum i have, but to stop the stuff rattling about i need to stuff something else in it.
Perhaps the answer is to get a small windproof or waterproof and pack out the possum a bit....

Get a tool roll to put all your tools and stuff in, then it'll stop rattling around...?

Do you need a frame bag at all for such a small amount of gear?
I find the Possum to have a lot less space than quoted and if you are needing to pack it out you must be carry nearly nothing.
A jersey pocket or small waist pack would do.
I use one of these on my frame sometimes for tools - not very quick access though.

I've a Wildcat Cheetah (there's also the Revelate Jerry Can and others that are similar) that sits at the top tube - seat tube junction. In it I'll have: small tin with tools and spares inside; leatherman Squirt pliers; chain tool; mobile phone; small first aid kit; debit card and cash; car key. There's still room for a small snack bar or something like that.

I've just realised that it sits on the bike (Solaris) permanently with most of the listed items in it (not the phone or debit card obviously :lol: ) so I never have to think about having to look for what's needed.
