Use the same wedgy as trikeman (sounds painful that). Totally recommend it. Able to shove 2 tubes, inflator kit, puncture kit, multi tool, spoke key, chain tool, wire hook to hold chain when fixing links (keeps hands clean), phone, latex gloves, change & card
And that's without expanding it
Gillette/waterproof, mini pump and fuel go into jersey pockets
Hi Stu, Welcome.
Can I recommend one of the ones I use.
It is the expandable Specialized Wedgy.
I put in it;
Tube,scab puncture kit, two levers, multi-tool, two inflator cartridges, inflater head, spare cash, iPhone, couple of gels (if needed) and my wheel bearing spanner (Ksyrium Elites). All that goes in without expanding it. It has a very useful padded seperation 'pocket' in there for the multi-tool. All over fantastic.
I can also get my lightweight rain jacket in there but that will require the zippered lower section undone thus expanded. I don't have to carry anything in my rear pockets - wouldn't keep any pointed bits in there, seen too many injuries from pumps and multi-tools being kept in jersey pockets.
When going into the cafe, just undo the velcro and away to go - like your handbag.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Trikeman.

My saddle pack is similar to the post above: just big enough for a small repair kit (levers, patches, multitool), travel wipes (very useful if you have a mechanical and have white bar tape), phone and keys. I find having this stuff in the jersey pocket tends to be noisy.
I have a Topeak saddle pack (Medium I think) which is big enough for a tube repair kit and some a multi - tool.
You could also check out what road.cc have reviewed in the way of bags etc to get a good picture of what you might want to consider @ http://road.cc/gear
Not exactly helpful but I just use jersey or jacket pockets tbh.
This thread might be of interest btw:

Although I did get the smart wallet I sent it back as the tool and my keys didn't fit.
