I finally decided that I've got hacked off with carrying puncture kit in my jersey pocket and decided to get myself a nice, neat saddle pack.
I bought myself a Scicon S 590 pack, stuffed it with inner tube, repair kit, inflator and a couple of spare inflators and off I went on my commute into college. However, on the way home I hit a patch of rough tarmac, shortly afterwards I sensed something was amiss - it transpired that the plastic/nylon clips holding the pack onto the baseplate (attached to the saddle rails) had snapped and only one was holding the pack on So, after less than 30 miles the pack is useless.
I have now bought a Fizic ICS pack (medium) but am a little concerned - will it bounce about loads or are they pretty sturdy? I have a velcro strapped Specialized pack on the way as well as a back-up.
Have I done the right thing with the Fizik or am I letting myself in for more junk? (And yes, I have a Fixik ICS saddle!)
