Castelli Satteltasche Mini

As I embark on longer weekend rides, it is important to ensure that I keep some basic tools with me in the case of a mechanical/puncture. I have been risking my rides up until now, but finally got myself a worthy saddle bag. Many I have previously come across before seemed to be overly bulky, and I was looking for one which was discreet, compact, and looked good. When I saw that there was a matching saddle bag available, my interest was piqued. The saddle bag itself is very well made. I opted for the smaller model, to keep things as discreet as possible. There is one main compartment which closes with a zipper. Inside there is a separate netted sleeve, to help secure smaller items. The saddle bag has a strap which allows you to mount it very securely under your saddle. It stayed put throughout a recent 87km ride I did. Although a fairly tight fit, I have managed to get the following neatly tucked inside: -Inner tube -CO2 pump -CO2 canisters x2 -Tyre levers x2 -Puncture repair kit -Disposable gloves -Disinfectant wipe The saddle bag is at maximum capacity with the above, so unfortunately there is no room for my multi-tool, which I will have to keep in my jersey pocket. The saddle bag is actually just for weekend rides, as during my commutes I have a backpack with me, and have plenty of storage space there. All-in-all, the Castelli saddle bag is a great buy.

Perfetta per l’indispensabile senza essere panno.

Es passt alles rein (Ersatzschlauch, Multitool, Reifenheber, Pumpenaufsatz, Gas-Kartusche, Adapter Auto auf französisches Ventil) was man im Notfall braucht. Wasserabweisend aber nicht wasserdicht. Sehr kleines Maß, unauffällig aber sicher am Sattel montierbar. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Arrived in new condition, and delivery was faster than originally advertised. The mini fits all essentials, but there's not much room to spare. Fits well under the saddle and looks good.

Calidad Castelli, queda bien fija al sillín, perfecta para llevar los básicos de una bici de carretera… multiherramientas, cámara, desmontables x2, parches, y adaptador de válvula. Saludos
