How Do you carry Your Spare Tube and Pump
I like everyone to tell us and even show pictures of how u carry your spare tube and pump when going on rides and events?
This could be interesting? i have seen people put the tube around their seat. I like to see all suggestions on securing your tube to your bike please. and pump
this could be a fun forum

I carry my tube, chain links, tire irons and chain breaker in a bag under my seat.
I velcro strap my pump to my brake and shifter cables that are on the underside downtube on my frame.

Topeak Pocket Rocket and a good use for a bottle cage.
CB-MULE carries tube, patches, levers, chain links, tools and some first aid!
I have heard of MTBers who drill a second hole in their rim and put two tubes in each tire. When one goes flat they just inflate the second.

Err ya go,,my composit tire tools and a Multi tool are under the seat with a tube.
The bag is water proof, a zip tie or two makes it more stable, Topeak: https://www.topeak.com/products/bags/...rybag_bk2_qc_m
Lots of frame mounted pumps integrate with the bottle cage mount...
Also they make a larger Under seat bag That I did not need because like Daspydyr I wear a hydration pack with lots of storage...

Ooh, yeah, forgot to add patches in saddle bag.

I have all my tools and tubes in my Camelbak for fun riding. My mini-pump is on the downtube in its waterbottle-attached bracket. I have it on there as I race without a Camelbak (I use a waterbottle for racing). For racing, I carry a tube, CO2, levers, etc. in my jersey pockets.

Everything goes in my hydration pack; tubes, tire levers, pump, tool, tire patch kit, first aid kit, water, snack bar, and then a coat strapped to the back of it.

Tube, tools, and such in seat bag, except for the pump, which goes in the Camelbak. I used to carry it on the frame, but it was getting dinged and covered in dirt on every ride. It's better protected in the pack.

Tubes are in a small bag under the saddle. I take the tubes out of the box they come in, put them in a baggie with talcum powder. I can fit 3 easily under my seat. All my bikes (5 I ride on a regular basis) have their own bags with tubes. All tools and my pump (I use a road or mountain Morph by Topeak - they are fairly small) are carried in my Camelbak pack. I use two (Camelbaks) regularly while riding ( a small one for road and larger for mountain) and each has it owns set of tools and pump.

My brother runs those on his MTBs and they seem to work out well -- can't say he's ever dropped anything.

Camelbak. Last season I upgraded to a Charge LR and for me the lumbar reservoir is a huge improvement. I don't like carrying all that water weight up so high.
In my Camelbak on every ride:
1. spare tube - have tubeless but sht happens.
2. blackburn high-volume mini pump. the best cheap one with a universal head.
3. park tool tire boot. a dollar bill or granola wrapper might work for road bikes, but not for a big slash in a MTB tire.
4. multi-tool.
5. micro first aid kit. look on amazon-- weighs almost nothing.
6. extra quick link both 10 and 9 spd.
7. plastic tire lever.
On some rides I also bring a shock pump. If I know the terrain well I just set it before I hit the trail and go. On long rides I bring food. On long remote rides I bring a water filtration straw, which I've never needed but if you get lost it is handy to drink water from a stream or even mud puddle. Also a fire starting kit and knife.
I don't race. If I did, I'd still be wearing the camelbak and I'd dramatically pare down what is in it besides water.

I have an under the seat bag that I have a spare tube, 2 tire levers, co2 cartridge and inflation device, chain breaker, quick links, quick link tool, hex wrench tool (multiple sizes) phone, ID, credit card/cash, and car keys. I've only had to use the chain tools, never needed to switch the tube out. After I have to do that once I will determine if the co2 way is sufficient, or if I should get a small pump to strap to the tube.
BTW this is all for my 29er MTB

Exactly.
Except I don't carry a spare tube or pump. There aren't many trails around here that are more than a few miles walk back to the car. I don't have a mini-pump and I'm not worried about walking a little to put a new tube in. My hydration pack is filled with phone, keys, ID, and snacks. Nothing like some good snacks. Oh, and a couple first aid things for when I screw up and take some skin off of my arm or end up with gravel/dirt in my palms...
