Don't have one with me now (will take a pic today before my ride if you want) but I have one of the PRO tools with a canvas pouch with velcro flap. All I've done is poke 2 holes in the pouch and cable tied it to the saddle rails. Easy peasy...

I don't take anything. That way I"m lighter and faster all the time when dominating segments. 

 

If I puncture or break a chain I can always rely on someone to help out with their carefully though out stash and that is 100% cash saving cos none of it's mine. If no one helps out it's bike on the shoulders and jog on... because cyclocross is so hot right now! 

 

;)

 

I do not carry much, but never will I help someone with nothing i.e. people like you.  You made your bed, so pick up your bike and run mate.  Maybe I will see you at the coffee shop, probably not, as I will also not be hanging around to see if someone was stupid enough to help you. :whistling:

The Rules are clear... How extreme is your case?

Luckily I don't give a shite about these "rules" or what other people thinks.

Form follows function. 

 

Used a saddle bag on both my Road and Mtb for a long time, still uses a bag on my roadie, and a "tool bottle" in an extra bottle holder mounted on seatpost. This keeps my tools nice and dry.

Old water bottle with all the tools and bombs in the one water bottle cage.  Running tubeless but spare tube on the seatpost with tape.  Any food or spares in shirt pockets.  Easy to swop between bikes.

A saddle bag on a bike is like putting roof racks on a convertible ..  :devil:

 

This FTW

Spare tube rolled up and taped to the frame under the bottle cage.

Pump and tool bag in my pocket

(Although, to be honest, i reckon my roadie pocket pump is a bit pansy for trailside use)

Specialized has this Bandit saddle thingie, but it requires one of their SWAT compatible saddles because it screws into the underside.
