Said that I’d make a saddle bag for my colleague as a Christmas present, didn’t want to waste / order good material before nailing the pattern, so used up some PU coated nylon / ripstop I had.
Loop for a rear light, loop to attach to seatpost for stability, incorporated the extra side to side strap to allow to overpack it slightly. It will fit 2x road tubes (700 35-50c) or 1x (650 2.25” tube), plus various tools or wallet + keys + phone + small digi cam.
Think I’m comfortable making it again - perhaps order heavier outer fabric or xpac
