The Sci-Con Tubo Bag
We have had a look at most of the bags from Sci-Con and we have been asked to find where one of our readers could buy a Sci-Con Tubo bag, so we thought we had better find out more about this Tubo bag, it looks a good idea and if its made by Sci-Con it will be top quality manufacturing
You need to have a spare inner tube with you on your ride and most riders have a small bag under the saddle for tire levers, a small multi-tool and those very important tubes.
Under the saddle is a great place to put your stuff, but it can look a little bulky, especially on a smaller frame.

The Answer
The Sci-Con Tubo Bag fits into the bottle cage; if you have two bottle cages on your bike then this is a perfect place to carry those very important items.
Just imagine you are on a touring holiday and you have a puncture, well all the things you need to get back on the road are easily accessible, you won’t need to pull all your well packed kit to get to your repair outfit.
 Tubo & Bits |
If you are a racing cyclist or a would be Pro, then the Tubo Bag is also for you, its easy to remove and refit, when you are going to a race it’s a matter of just a Velcro strap and away the bag goes and you can start your race with two bottle cages. When you are training the look of the bike is more stream lined with a Tubo Bag, a small saddle bag is nice, but the look is much cleaner with a Tubo Bag.
What is the Technology?
The Tubo Bag is made of Cordura which is a hard wearing material that is also water proof. The bag has a volume of 500 cc, this is big enough to hold many things, like inner tubes, tire leavers, multi-tool, mobile phone etc. you can get everything you need in to the Tubo Bag that will get out of any sticky situation you might get into on your ride. The Tubo is available in classic black as well as blue, red and grey. The Velcro strap at the back of the bag holds it tight and safe in the bottle cage and there is a very handy Sci-Con zipper tab so it’s easy to open even with cold fingers, all well manufactured and thought through for style and functionality.

What does The Style Monkey Think?
The Tubo bag is great, it makes your bike look like you are going racing, nothing under the saddle, stripped and ready for action. You must have two bottle cages for the style and for the hot weather, but one bottle and the Tubo Bag and the bike looks great!
