Finally took delivery of my new Epic Evo! With that comes the possibility of ditching the fanny pack! On the downtube there is 3 bottle cage mount bolts. I know I have seen some tool/inflation kit solutions that will bolt onto that third mount. But cannot seem to find it anywhere. Any recommendati…

[image] KEG Storage Vessel 16oz | Specialized.com The KEG Storage Vessels allows you to store all key emergency gear-like patches, an extra tube, a micro tool, and a CO2 cartridge-all in one rigid, durable 16oz container that easily fits into any Specialized bottle cage. …

I liked the look of the Topeak and Syncros options, but it appears none of them have bottle cages up to the task of mountain biking. I ended up going for a OneUp EDC tool in the steerer and a tube taped under the saddle. If you do go for a cage option, I’d recommend one that mounts under your cage…

I love the OneUp tool and have built two bikes using mine lol. The OneUp pump can mount to a bottle cage and it holds the EDC tool inside, its a very sweet setup. You can also get a needle and tire plug kit that adapts to the EDC tool and fits inside the 70cc pump. You can also run CO2 with the pump…

Absolutely, I had the pump on my previous bike. I didn’t want to put it on my current bike as it’s too pretty for asymmetry :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. I wanted a small pump with a hose and now carry a Lezyne Micro HV Pump. I got the Jank Plug Buddy too. The problem with that is you won’t be ab…

Yes something like that! Those look pretty good! Not sure if I understand their mounting though. It looks like it needs to use two cage mounts, just like a standard cage? Maybe I am misinterpreting what I have, and what I can do with it? My bike has (3) bottle cage mounting bolts in a row down th…

It doesn’t seem to be a current product, but S offered this for a while which was meant for your goals. https://mbaction.com/product-feature-specialized-swat-storage-solution/ Maybe you can find one floating around online (seen a few possibles on ebay from a quick look). https://www.ebay.com/itm/…

I think the 3 mounts allow a traditional 2 bolt mount just to be mounted either higher (top 2 bolts) or lower (bottom 2 bolts) so it’s in a location more suitable to the rider.

I’ve wondered this as well. I thought maybe some sort of frame bag :man_shrugging:. Different mounting options is the more obvious and logical answer.

As Chad mentioned, that third bolt is for a SWAT box. Made to hold a lightweight tube, CO2 and inflator, and one tire lever. It is a tight fit for just that. Here’s a bad pic of my setup on my Epic. SWAT box as described and a keg for another tube and a few more tools. If it’s more than a one b…
