    Hello. Does that exist? It’s for a Ragley BigAl using a 200mm dropper slammed to the frame so not much clearance to the 29′ 2.6 tyre. Doesn’t need to be big but needs to hold a 29 tube, multi tool, tyre lever, TL repair kit. But not a pump as that’s on the frame.

    Use a frame bag instead.

    A small roadie type pack might work, but you don’t want much weight in it.

    The Topeak DP Mount can help but be aware if bag is too big it might rub on tyre when dropped. For bike packing with an aero bag we just attached to dropper which kind of wedged it so it wouldn’t drop and didn’t use the dropper while attached. dp-mount_backloader

    For exactly what you have listed.

    Had it a few years now and everything is dry and rust free whenever I open it up.

    I use a Specialized Seat Pack (large) with my dropper, usually bolstered by a couple of extra velcro straps – works very well. There is a thin rubber fastening you can use to attach to the seatpost if you need to, but the footprint of that is quite small. Evans usually have them in stock. It’s large enough for a pump, multitool, phone, tyre levers, spare tube, dynaplug, plus a few other bits and bobs.

    Another vote for the Revelate Shrew.

    Fits on saddle rails and not the seatpost.

    Topeak Sidekick Wedge fits the bill.

    You don’t need to use the seat post strap.

    Otherwise just use a dry bag and frame strap. Huck (Louri) throw in a free dry bag with their Enduro Strap. I use one on my hard tail. It has a 29″ tube, tyre levers, patches and a multitool in it.

    I use a Zefal Z Light Pack Saddlebag, (0.5 L – Small), synched tight with a toe-strap.

    I use the small Topeak Elementa, assuming you’re using a lightweight TPU tube then everything you list should fit.

    Yep, it’s really good too. Shame she stopped trading a while ago

    PIGGY SADDLE / ZIP CASE

    This type of thing works. A pouch with a chunky strap. Holds the bag firm and away from the seatpost. There are quite a few options if you search.
