ISO a new large seat bag

[ny biker]

I have a top tube bag, too, but when I put lots of stuff in it it leans to the side so my knee hits it when I pedal. So it's of limited use.

I also have a handlebar bag, but I prefer to use it only in cooler temps to hold outerwear that I may want to put on or take off during the ride. It tends to hit the adjuster thingies on my cables which leads to shifting problems, plus there's too much other stuff that needs to attach to the handlebars.

Really, if Bontrager hadn't cheaped out and changed the design of the large bag, it would be a near-perfect solution. I would happily pay a higher price to get a new version of the bag I'm replacing, but I refuse to pay what they're charging now for such an inconvenient product.

BTW I've also checked Louis Garneau, Lezyne, Timbuk-2, and whatever else is sold by REI, Colorado Cyclist and Performance. And Rivendell and Brooks.

If I can't find anything else, I'll go with the largest "medium" bag I can find, which might be the Topeak. I need to double-check the Banjo Brothers site again to see how big their medium bag is.

Also, fwiw I think Lezyne's "large" bag is a really smart design, because it has two separate compartments. Unfortunately it's only 58 cubic inches total.

Jandd Mountain Wedge II? 94 cubic inches, and it looks like it's between 2 and 2.5 inches at the seatpost end (I have one, but I couldn't find a ruler.)

I have a largish Bontrager/Trek bag that I bought 5 yrs ago or more. I'm not really using it - I'll take a look tonight and see if it meets your criteria or take some pix and send you.

Turns out I had a photo on my phone. Does this one look like something you can use? I can measure it tonight but I think this is the kind of zipper you want, no? I am using an Arkel Tailrider on that bike now, and this would not fit with the larger Tailrider unless I could raise the seat about 2-3 inches, so I just have it sitting inside the tailrider. Redundant, I know. It easily holds 2 tubes, 2 CO2 cardridges and a gun to fire them, plus plenty of room for other stuff.
