  • Has anybody used an Ortlieb saddle bag in medium? are they and good? Do they stay out the way when riding? Anything else to consider at this kind of price (£28)?

  • Only used the old XL one, but it was impressively stable and I'd expect that to be just as good.

  • Used one on the tandem. They're pretty small but @tricitybendix always managed to cram an impressive amount of stuff in there. I didn't notice it between my legs at all. Impossible to colour match with the panniers, which saddened me.

  • They are good, but have two problems -

    • If you install the saddle clip backwards, the bag will clip on...but won't come off without much swearing / fury / rage

    • If you overload it the clip will 'unwind', opening the bag and it then may deposit all your gear on the floor

    Don't ask me why I know these things.
