Hi all, I am looking for advice from fellow mountain bikers-- particularly those who have very small frame bikes. I’m currently optimizing my carry-along equipment to not always have to wear a pack when I ride, but I’m finding it difficult to find a solution that works with having such a small frame bike (for reference I’m riding a Cannondale Habit 4 size small).
Ideally I’d like to be able to bring along (at a minimum) a mini pump, multitool, tubeless repair kit, spare tube, & tire levers. I have previously tried to fit everything in a tidy bundle strapped behind/underneath my saddle, but I don’t have enough clearance over the back tire when my dropper is down and the rear shock is compressed. The frame itself presents some challenges with regards to storage-- I hardly have space for a 16oz water bottle in the cage.
Here you can see my prior set up with the bundle behind the saddle before I realized it bumps into the rear tire when the dropper is down and the shock is compressed.
Any suggestions or solutions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
