Holds enough to keep you riding -- co2, inflator, multitool, tubeless plugs, spare cleat screws, extra quick-link. Accessing the contents may require loosening the velcro that holds it to the seat -- easily done, but I have found that the zipper itself is obstructed by the seat if I don't release the velcro. After two seasons on one of them I have a little tear next to the zipper (maybe I cram it just a little too full with extra co2?) but not bad enough that I'll be looking to replace it this year, and I like the bag enough that I have it on multiple bikes.
I cringed when I got a shard of glass in a brand new Vittoria Corsa Pro with less than 50 miles on it. It's too expensive of a tire to just toss in the trash, and so I started looking for a way to repair it. The Lezyne Tubeless Pro Plugs look to be the answer. It was easy to apply and seems to seal well. The tire went on one of a second set of wheels I don't use in the winter, so I don't have real world time on the repaired tire yet. However, every time I've checked it, it's still holding pressure. We'll see in the Spring. Would I race on a plugged tire? Probably not, but I am hopeful it will be good enough to use as a training tire. The selection of sizes is nice.
I really like the utility of this bag, the way it opens wide with zippers makes it easy to stuff in and out. I am not impressed with the way the straps are attached though. Not sure whether the thread used is failing or the foam, but there needs to be some reinforcement with the strap attachment points. I will likely fix it myself, but this should not have happened. I typically carry an 18oz Nathan Speed Flask filled with Perpetuem on long days on the bike. This bag is very easy to use for this or an extra layer, vest or jacket.
Stainless steel construction is critical to having a multi-tool that doesn't rust, I keep this in my saddle bag and as much as I try to stay dry I get caught in the occasional downpour and usually don't bother drying everything out after my ride. Tools with just a coating on the bits will rust very quickly as I found out the hard way with about 4 different brands. I got the 7 bit version and it has everything you need for mid-ride adjustments, it is solidly built and again the fact that it hasn't started to corrode makes it a keeper. I use a Speedsleev saddle bag, which is awesome BTW, and even though it is supposed to be waterproof nylon humidity makes its way into it as there is no zipper to fully close it (its only downside IMO).
