Adamo - saddle bag that works

I just got the Adamo saddle for my steed. I'm looking at lots of hours on the trainer for base training this season and decided I wanted to try it for the comfort factor.

I've been on it twice and so far I really like it, but it will take some getting used to - it puts very even pressure on the sit bones on both "sides" if you will and feels a bit wider. I haven't been on it with cycling shorts yet, but I think its going to much more comfortable.

Only problem so far is that its shorter than my old saddle and sits closer to me stem, so my saddle bag no longer fits. Wondering if anyone else who bought the Adamo found a bag that fits well.

Any other suggestions for shorter saddle bags would be appreciated as well.

I have a pretty narrow Pearl Izumi saddle bag that I have had to invert in order to get it to fit. I attach the velcro straps that are supposed to go around the seat post to the rails of the Adamo and I attach the other strap to the seat post. The saddle bag opening now faces straight down, so I have to make sure the zipper/closure is secure or everything will dump out.

I have a xlab flat wing that I used on the back of mine.
I then had a small Specialized back that fits nicely underneath.

You can always use duct tape ;-)

I use the Carbon Hydrotail

I use the Carbon Hydrotail by Beaker Concepts. I use my old trek bag and attach to the Hydrotail with the straps (provided). I have attached pictures to give you a better idea. I also tried to angle the water bottle cages to mimic what I saw on the pro's bikes...
