There's fix kit storage inside the frame below the downtube bottle, no? What would be the point of adding rear storage?
Just to have more space. Wouldn't surprise me if they get feedback that one co2 and one tube isn't enough for full distance. Otherwise you're relegated to your jersey. If I spent $10k I wouldn't want to be packing a co2 in my pocket.
Don't forget, there's space in the top tube area as well. Besides, with tubeless tires becoming the norm, two tubes seems like it might be overkill. But if you're overly concerned, you can do some or all of the following:
-pack a couple Tubolito Ultralights in the same space as one normal tube.
-Pack spare tube(s) and/or CO2 canister(s) in your special needs bag in case you use your one on the front half
-Tape a spare CO2 to the bottom of the saddle shell
-Wait for the inevitable aftermarket "braft dox" from
Custom Bike Xcessories -Stick spare spares in the downtube drink bottle and use other places for hydration (ie BTA and BTS)
-Choose a BTS hydration solution that integrates additional flat storage
-Quit crying like a beyotch and just stick a tightly packed back-up flat kit (like a seal-packed Specialized Road Spool) in your back pocket
