Tool Bottle

[slowmotion]

Looks like a water bottle with a different lid.

As I said, it isn't wildly exciting but you can cram all sorts of junk into it.

Some of those round pencil cases also fit in a bottle cage.

Just strikes me an old water bottle with a bit of foam for padding would also do just a good a job.

I use the 450ml one of these from planetx, can fit a multitool, tyre levers, dumbbell spanner, puncture repair kit, couple of co2 and adapter, finally some cable ties and latex gloves to pad it all. I keep my tubes and pump elsewhere on the bike.

I did it when I had two bikes for commuting so the tubes and pump would stay with the relevent bike and the tools could come with me, but down to one commuting bike at the moment.

I use a freebie bidon which happens to have a very wide opening.

My solution is to use a pencil case ,different size according to how much I need to pack in . The larger one I use a toe strap to secure.
(edit) oops just seen Team Fixed has same idea , must be a fixed thing.

Is that a very slack cable or is it routed over the worm drive clips?

haha yup, right over the clips! agh! what an amateur! wouldn't do it like that again. actually have no recollection of that. that was about 10 yrs ago

Halfords water bottle - £2
Holds a spare tube, tyre levers, a multitool and a packet containing self-adhesive patches and quick-link.
I tend to think a drinks bottle looks less out of place, just make sure it isn't one that tapers in at the neck to form a grip.

I used to use one but as soon as things warm up i need 2 bottles..... and i don't like having a different solution for winter vs summer so although it seemed a good idea it quickly got consigned to the shed. Does of course very much depend on your riding type and many people can live with a single bottle.

Mine is without padding because I couldn't care less if the stuff rattles.
