Anyone use either of these? Can you give me some details on one or both please? I am looking more towards the flat wing because it doesn't sit as high but would like to know about both. thanks in advance!

I have the flat wing.
I got it because it does sit lower that the saddle wing.
I think it works pretty good.
The straps are good to hold a spare, and the x-nut holds your spare CO2

Nothing to it, but to do it

any problem hitting your leg on it when you mount the bike? I have my shoes clipped in beforehand and put my left foot on the shoe push off and swing my right over the back of the saddle. I had a rear bottle cage mounted on the seat post and it got in my way so I got rid of it. Plan on doing a couple of half IMs this year and need to have the fluid and flat repair, more for ease of mind than anything. Just cant handle the thought of a DNF because I was not prepared!!!!

Initially I had some issues with catching it once in a while. I just tilt my bike and step over much easier now.
I don't have my shoes clipped in either.

The Saddlewing does NOT work with the Fizik saddles. If you have one of those saddles, you must to use the Flatwing.
