Subject: Can't find a wedge/bag for my tri bike
I'm looking for a wedge/bag that fits on the seat post to  put my flat repair kit.   However, nothing i have seen yet will fit.   The velcro strap is short and looks to be only made for round seat posts like road bikes.   I have a Specialized Transition and even the Specialized bags won't fit.

What brand does everyone use?   Does the fuel belt models work?

Why not just buy/make an extension to the velcro strap?

I've got this same problem, hoping for a good answer on this thread.

I have one of these on my Fuji Aloha, which has an aero post and it fits fine.

My strap is a little short for the aero post...but it works well enough.  That strap is just keeping it more stable...the top/side straps are really securing it to the seat.

I went to a Perfomance bike store and looked at like 10 different types of bags.  None had a long enough strap.  I ended up getting a strip of velcro and sewed it onto the end of the existing strap.  Ok, I didn't sew it my mother in law did but it works great.

Yep had some velcro tape glued the 2 backs together and it makes a nice little extension so it fits around the aero seat post, works like a champ.

I just use a zip tie with my old bag for my Transition. Works fine.
