    Hi,

    I’ve been riding with a saddle bag for a while, however having recently changed my saddle. I am thinking about carrying my spare tube and tool in my jersey pocket instead.

    What would you say is the better way to carry your spares?

    Thanks,
    Rob.

    Nice bike = jersey
    Nice bike = jersey pockets.
    Winter bike = saddle bag.

    In the winter I tend to need my pockets for rain jackets, gloves (if I need to take them off) and extra tubes. In the summer I like keeping it minimal – one tube plus patches as I don’t mind standing on the side of the road quite as much when it’s not drizzling and freezing cold.

    Personally, our entire family runs with the tiny £8 Continental under-seat bags – enough room for a tube & levers (included) plus a small tool. it velcros onto the rails pretty well and is hard to spot. eBay is your friend here.

    For me, personally, I prefer the back pocket purely as I can’t stand hearing a saddle bag rattle around. I know not all do and/or it depends how you pack it but I’d prefer not to take the chance.

    Guess it depends on how much you carry and how far you ride too.

    I have a small saddle bag for a tube, multi-tool etc but I would guess it depends how much other things you take with you and need to put in your pockets.

    I find I have quite a few odds and ends in my pockets and the added bulk of tube and multi-tool would be too much.
