| Extended length … making full use of useless space! |
A much better solution would be one (or two) of these ‘Gas Tanks’ from Bikepack. They’re made from the same quality materials and produced with the same care and attention to detail as all the other Bikepack products and are amazingly handy.
Besides the standard size there’s also a custom option available for a small charge. The standard dimensions are 5cm W x 20cm L x 10cm H, which makes it an ideal storage space for your camera or sweeties or anything else you might need handy. The usual mounting point is on the top tube just behind the stem … although as you can see, that’s not the only possible option.
I’ve been using a custom sized version for the last six months or so, mounted to the front of the seatpost … somewhere which is usually just ‘dead space’. It’s the same width and height as standard but the length has been increased to 27cm and the zipper reversed so it opens from the top. I’ve thoroughly abused it, over-filled it and generally mistreated the poor thing and its not complained at all. Although it isn’t advertised as waterproof I haven’t found any water inside, even after some severe Welsh liquid sunshine.

The possible options go further than just sizing, there’s also a choice of colours and material spec’ too. Prices start at £18 which I think is fantastic value with custom sizing adding a couple of quid. All in all a superb bit of kit, ideally suited to storing all those bits you forgot!
