Hiking Hydration Running Backpack Men 5L Camping With Water Bottle MTB Cycling Backpacks Men's Breathable Marathon Bag Equipment
BagsI have had one of these for about 3 years. The front strap pockets are super convenient for carrying a phone on one side and a couple snacks/plug kit in the other. Its not obnoxiously large but it carries a pretty good amount of stuff and you can fold up discarded layers or pick up trail finds in the mesh net that folds up into the hideaway pocket on the back bottom.

Rhinowalk Bicycle Top Tube Bag Quick-Release Waterproof Cycling Frame Storage Luggage Phone Bag Bike Accessories For Gravel Mtb
BagsThe reviewer bought the Rhinowalk top tube bag with his own money for $19.45 almost a year ago but cannot recommend it. He notes that the price has nearly tripled to $58.56. While the bag looks solid on paper with waterproof TPU fabric, seamless welding, and a three-strap fix system, a design flaw in the attachment screws makes it unusable. The plastic cover on one screw came off, causing the metal screw to get stuck in the bike frame, requiring pliers to remove. He advises holding off until Rhinowalk fixes the attachment point.

- Waterproof TPU fabric
- Seamless welding
- Three-strap fix system

RYET Full Carbon 3D Printed Saddle Wide
SaddleThe reviewer mentions the RYET 3D printed carbon bike saddle, noting that it is on their Trek Domane SL5 and was purchased with their own money over a year ago for $51.74. They have ridden 10,000-15,000 km on it and describe it as a decent improvement over the stock saddle. The saddle is very light at 165 g and significantly cheaper than Western brand equivalents. The 3D printed structure adapts under pressure and distributes weight evenly, which the reviewer agrees with, finding it very comfortable. They note that saddle comfort is personal but the design logic is sound and there is a lot of positive feedback from thousands of sales and high ratings.
