Doing my first 70.3 this Saturday and I’m carrying a spare tire rather than just a PittStop. I have an Xlab rear cage, but might use is since there is ample water on the course.
All I need to carry is a CO2, CO2 head, tire lever (I tape a razor blade under my seat) and a tire.
I’d really like to see some pics of your setups.
If you can give up one bottle holder, take an old water bottle, cut off about 1/3 and stuff tire and Co2 etc. in it. Holds it firm and handy. Less of a hassle than straps and buckles.
I actually slide one down inside the beam of my Softride! Not all tires will fit, but I can get a CO2 cartridge, head, and tubular tire all inside the beam.
Not that it will help you out much.

Why do you need a tire lever if you have a razor blade and pitstop?
All I will have is a aero drink and a 2 hour bottle on the frame.
I have a P3 so I can’t spare any bottles.
I don’t want to carry my rear cage.
Trying to find a good way to strap to the rear of the seat tube.
I’ll trying to find pics of what the pros do.
Arundel makes an under seat bag for tubulars…everything goes in it. The razor blade is taped under the seat.

I only have one bottle mount on my 51 P2C and my front end positioning will not allow for an Aero-drink so I need to mount a bottle behind the seat …I came up with the between the bars tire mount and prefer it to the only other option of mounting a single bottle between the bars and tire behind the seat. I jam two co2s under my fizik saddle and they have stayed there for several months.
Probably isn’t the most aero, but I Folded the spare up, then put it under the seat & behind the seat post. Pitstop/CO2 was on the down tube & had a bottle in the aero holder for a 70.3 last weekend. I’m sure it negated the Aero Seatpost, but I didn’t I couldn’t think of another place for it.
In a bag behind my seat. Jandd makes and excellent one.
