I can't because my MTB doesn't even have the space for a single water
bottle of decent size. Even the bike dealer where I bought is said
"WHAT?? How could they now have that?". So I mounted one holder on the
handlebar (I have a bike with a cup holder now!) plus modded the rear
section for some heavy duty longhaul schlepping.

Naah, under the down tube, maybe even on top of the down tube close to
bottom bracket. And you could fit a real keg on top of the top tubes.

Right, replace baby with 5 liter keg:

Under the downtube it gets dirty with horse poop, cow poop, bear poop
and dirty water, plus rock hits. Above there isn't enough space for a
decent size bottle, 28oz and such.

On top of the top tube does seem like the best location for water
on Joerg's Fuji. Looks like a nice spot for a strap-on cage, one
that could hold a large bike bottle. Then add a short bottle in the
main triangle to supplement the big one up top and some weight can
come out of those panniers... perhaps to enable a second growler at
appropriate times?

I was thinking about getting a N95 or P100 mask but the next Home Depot
is a few hills and slightly over an hour riding from here, with the
valley sections smoke-filled. So I didn't go.


Also, places in affected areas are likely out of masks. Buy
non-local at this time only!

P.S.: get this pack instead of the single non-disposable for the same
price, because then you have a backup for yourself and 8 masks to
distribute to others in need.

I used to carry extra water in my cooler, but I can no longer ride so
far that there are no drinking fountains around. Been a while since I
re-filled both bottles at once, but the steroids are working now, so I
might go that far before the roads get slick.

More likely to stay in place and equal heartache if it falls off and
breaks.

It won't get here before the smoke has cleared out. They sent everyone
from our Amazon warehouse home because it filled with smoky air and
became unhealthy. A couple of my orders including the cassette and
derailer are on hold now.

Many of my rides are about 40mi at a pretty good clip (for my age ...)
and in the hot summers here that either requires carrying around a
gallon or detouring to get to sports fields or churches with a drinking
fountain. I find it more efficient to carry the water. Road bike trips
can be done with much under a gallon but not MTB trips and some of those
have zero re-fill opportunities.

The other reason for carrying excess is other riders and most of all
hikers who mis-planned. Or who didn't plan at all.

Until you crash or have to jump in a hurry. That would change the voice
to soprano :-)

This is a reason why I didn't buy the 2012 model Fuji and opted for a
2013 model. The 2012 has a bottle holder mount but the standover height
is excessive. You really don't want that on an MTB.


... Then add a short bottle in the
main triangle to supplement the big one up top and some weight can

My bicycle growler retired a long time ago when I started home-brewing
again. Now I sometimes carry a pre-cooled crash-proof stainless steel
thermos in the top trunk with homemade IPA in there, for the lunch break
during a hard ride.
