I desire to keep my new Yaqui Carbo clean without the tool bag, water bottles, etc., hanging all over the place. I have a cage on the seat tube for a water bottle and inflator, and thats it. I place my multipurpose tool in my jersey with a spare tube, along with some 10oz energy shots and a couple of 10oz fluid containers with Accelerade. If going long, unsupported, and solo, I make sure I am going by retail stores to replenish. My questions is; Is there a belt, form fitting type thingamajig that is usable as opposed to the pockets on the back of my jersey that bounce and rub all over the place?
Forget style in training. Function is far more important whilst training. Put the tool bag on, put the extra cages on, put your nutritional needs in your pockets and ride. In a race, take off what is not needed in the race, and pose away.

How many water bottles do you use?
Cut on old one open and stick tools and tubes inside it (consider foam to stop it ratling). Seal with insualtion tape. Stick it in an unused cage.
I agree with what pinkboy says… using the same logic of using heavy training wheels on training days it is more important to be out there training than it is to be going light… I mean how effective is training if you are only out there for one hour becuase of a flat you can’t fix or from dehydration?
