Direct mount / bolt-on bags
My new bike is positively festooned with mounts for stuff - top tube plus three bottle cages mounts.
Looking for recommendations for small bags (tools/waterproof jacket/tube) for the top tube and under-downtube mount. I know I can use a bottle cage and caddy for that one but quite like the idea of a direct mount slot on hard case down there - rather like Topeak's Ninja caddies. Really don't want to have straps rubbing on the frame or risk losing a tool roll riding on rough terrain.
Ortleib do an excellent seat pack which slots into a mount - greater for swapping between bikes - but it's too wide to place under the downtube.
