ApiduraExpedition Tool Pack (0.5L)(Return to Product Page)

I would first like to state this review is no reflection on Bike Tires Direct, they don't manufacture these products, only make them available. I have never had anything but stellar service from Bike Tires Direct in all the years I've been dealing with them.

I can without question state that I purely hate this bag. The description on the manufacturer's site for this bag states, There's room for two spare road tubes, tire levers, a small multi-tool and a CO2 canister.

I don't know what kind of tubes they mean, perhaps TPU, but I could barely fit one butyl tube, a tyre gear tire lever, multi-tool and CO2 inflator in it. And it didn't close all the way.

I could never get it to fit securely under my saddle; it was always moving around, slipping and sliding around. The single Velcro strap is either insufficient or in the wrong place. The only positive aspect to this bag is that it has a small slot to secure a tail light.

I feel it is my duty to warn other riders away from this bag. I have since replaced it with one from another manufacturer that uses a Boa dial to secure it to the saddle and could not be happier with the replacement.

The thing is held in by one single strap, and hardly holds anything. Doesn't zip shut, just Velcro.

Fell off my bike and cost me 50 bucks within the first week.

I have this on my gravel bike and so far so good. Although I run tubeless I use it to keep 2 slimline tubes and CO2 just in case of emergency. Has held up well so far to all the conditions and a few tumbles
