So I would like to carry nutrition with me on the bike in a more convenient method than I do now.
I would like to add a bento box to the top tube but I do not want to deal with unsightly velcro straps so my 2 options are...
1. Use double sided tape. The downside is that this might be a permanent solution if I ever decide to go a different route.
2. Install water bottle bosses. The downside is drilling into a carbon frame. I have watched the online DIY from tririg and it seems easy enough but I have emailed a couple of carbon repair places and one refused to do it because it would compromise the frame and the other would do it for $200 but wanted me to strip my frame down and they wanted to add carbon layers to the area first.
I want to go with option 2 but the idea of my frame cracking or catastrophically failing during a ride scare me.
Any suggestions from experience?
Thanks.
