Nice. I've been using a Topeak Micro Wedge for many years (same clip in) but its use of velcro to anchor it to the seatpost makes me nervous and I've been itching to eliminate that loop. (I've already trimmed it to have zero excess, but it's getting a bit worn and frayed now.) Velcro IMO just doesn't belong anywhere on a bike in any capacity as the hooks will destroy lycra in a heartbeat. The problem on my wedge bag is the post loop is needed or it gets very floppy. Did that model you use come without a post loop, or did you remove it yourself?
