Designed to replace a traditional saddlebag, the Speedsleev Elastic Pro Seatsleeve is a construction of nylon and Velcro compression straps. Although it's a little pricey, its simple effectiveness has meant we’ve ended up buying our own, replacing much-loved saddlebags on road steeds and electrical tape on our mountain bikes.
There are two sizes of the Seatsleeve available, with the smaller version – which will hold a tube, two 16g CO2s, an inflator, tyre levers, valve extenders and the contents of a patch kit – claimed to best suit roadies. The larger option is meant for the mountain bikers (or super cautious roadies) and is claimed to hold a large mountain bike tube, or two road tubes, plus everything else its smaller sibling carries.

Stuffed in, we fitted our usual MTB race spares within a small Seatsleev. The large size has plenty of room for additional tools, canisters and thicker tubes
With that being said, we’ve been happily using a small to carry a lightweight 29er mountain bike tube, a 20g CO2 canister and a compact CO2 inflator/multitool – it’s a tight squeeze, but it works.
A total of three Velcro straps make up the Elastic Pro, with the innermost strap used to create a pocket for the tube, and the most outward one used to attach the whole thing to your saddle rails.
