looking at ditching the camelback for shortish rides.
don't want my pockets full of stuff
water is easy - bottle and cage
cant have a saddle bag under the seat as I have a reverb, and I only have 1 set of bolts on the frame for 1 cage
was possibly thinking of a alpkit dry bag, but not sure where to put it??
suggestions welcome!
Fannypack?
not really my cup of tea 😳
been dying to say this....
Bum Bag!
For "shortish" rides I'd probably not take anything else anyway. Tubeless tyres, well maintained bike and take the risk. For rides with others (I don't want to be "that guy" who spoils someones elses ride, or sponges tools etc of the group) or anything longer, I use jersey pockets, but I reckon something like the small Alpkit frame-mounted bags would work perfectly.
King Cage cargo cage. Out of stock at Charliethebikemonger at the moment.
The Specialized EMT/SWAT stuff?
Wingnut? Alpkit possum? Wildcat frame bag?
just the usual, tube, couple of tools, jacket, co2 canister, couple of energy bars etc
How about the fuel pod - https://www.alpkit.com/products/fuel-pod
I have the medium and it carries everything I want for a short ride.
As above, for shortish rides go tubeless and take nothing. That's what I do.
Bumbag with a tube multi tool and phone in, sorted.
frame bag or small sub frame bag as above.
Bought one of these in Morzine. Much better than a rucksack, especially for downhill.

Have an enema before every ride, then store all those pesky essentials in your rectum.
It's the ultimate, minimalist choice.
Lube beforehand, obviously - (Roadies may wish to bypass this step if they wish to enjoy even more unnecessary suffering).
Lost a multitool, a pack of jam sandwiches and a showerproof so far, but I'm sure they'll turn up sooner or later.
Small QR seatpack with the seatpost strap cut off. I use the £5 Areo one from PX. Frame mounted pump.
