CYCLITE Saddle Bag Nano 01 saddle bag

The Cyclite Saddle Bag Nano 01 is the brand's small saddle bag, for road and gravel races and for training. It carries the bare essentials: inner tube, compact pump, tyre levers, tool.

It holds on with a magnet. The Nano universal mount supplied in the box fixes onto the seatpost, round or aero, with O-rings, and the bag clips onto it. You take it off in one move at the café and put it back without adjusting anything. The zip runs all the way round, so you can get the tube out without emptying everything.

To check before ordering: you need 18 cm of exposed seatpost, which can be tight on a small frame. A regular's tip: roll the tools up in an old rag. Nothing rattles on the cobbles, and the rag comes in handy for putting the chain back on. The same mount takes the Top Tube Bag Nano 01.

Cyclite cuts it from the same coated, welded fabric as its touring bags, with a profiled shape that tucks in behind the seatpost. For a bike you want to keep clean-looking without giving up on fixing things yourself, MAAKE picks this one.
