Swat system FAIL
So I was intrigued by the mini tool with holder that attaches to the Specialized seats and picked one up. I don’t ride trails or gravel but I do ride some really bad pavement so I considered that it might fall out.
after installing it seemed very secure. Actually kind of difficult to get out of the holster.
Today I went to do a good cleaning and found it gone, no doubt laying along the road somewhere. I know it wasn’t stolen cause I don’t leave the bike except in my garage.
Only had it a few weeks.
Nice idea but it’s not worth carrying a tool unless you’re sure it will be there when you need it.

All you need is a cordura pack with a velcro strap. I don't know why some companies make this all complicated, with their proprietary mounting systems that use Boa straps and whatnot.
