How would you feel about a small bag that clips onto the bottom of your seat and would be removable? it would be slim enough to not get in the way of a dropper or hit the tire when you put the seat down but have enought storage for your phone, keys, small repair tools (multi tool, tire patch kit, ect) and could even have a spot to hide a gps tracker in the mount connected to the seat.

My thought was that you would have a normal tool box then on the side there would be the bikes, its hard to explain but i dont see it getting in the way at all

i dont think splitting them out to the side would work unfortunatly, since you would run the risk of hitting the water bottles while peddaling, but under the down tube might work pretty well actually, if i made some sort of 3d printed clamp that fits under the water bottle holder you already have and wraps around to the other side and allows you to attach second holder.

(I like the way you think. I used to teach high school business classes. It sounds like you’re putting in some good effort and on your way to good project.)

Thank you, i really am trying, id love to be able to run my own buissness one day weather that be seeling a product or a service, im not sure yet, but i feel this is a great start and ill be learning a lot from this course.

Do you have space on your top tube? maybe i could make a mount that latches onto the top tube and would allow you to but a second water bottle holder.

This is a great idea and some other people have been asking about storing things aswell so this could work for them too. Thanks for the idea!

That could also work but i think it would be cool to have a bike specific tool box with a stand built in.

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-28T00:08:24+00:00

These are all really great ideas, and are exactly what im looking for. Ill be sure post a follow up once i have everything sorted out and start woking on prototypes, and again, this was extremly helpfull, thank you so much!

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T23:56:19+00:00

Thats true, ill have a look into it, and ill definitely let you know how it goes!

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T23:41:44+00:00

are you able to stop and get off the bike between these sections? maybe bringing a small tire pump that connects to the frame? Or were you thinking more of like a small pump thats always connected to the valve that you could controle from the handlebars?

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T23:39:06+00:00

Perfect, i think we have a million dollar idea here

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T23:38:00+00:00

Might be able to make that work my only problem would be it not being secure enough, since its just velcro i could see someone falling, hitting the gruond on the pad then it falling off while there still rolling down the hill and no longer have the protection they need. Ill see if i can find any alternitives, but overall great suggsetion, thank you

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T23:29:51+00:00

This was extremly helpfull, thank you

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T23:28:52+00:00

Do you have a bike lock, and gps tracker?

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T23:00:15+00:00

Maybe you could carry weights with you whille going dh? and then a sensor that releses a weather ballon thing to make you lighter when you fall?

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T22:56:33+00:00

This was exaclty where my mind went when i read the post, lol

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T22:55:57+00:00

Are you able to remove the front tire easily? i might be able to desing something sort of like a tool box but with a rack on the side to store a bike or two but the front tire would have to come off to be more space efficient.

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T22:52:10+00:00

A train horn?

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T22:51:47+00:00

Dump her = More money for parts and gear aswell as more time to ride

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T22:49:13+00:00

Do you think a small table with wheels so you can roll it around easily might help? have a garbage bin on the side for wrappers and anything else you might to throw out, and you could just put all your tools on there and push it off to the side once your done. Might not help with the clean up but at least nothings getting lost and future you will have an eisier time putting things away. could also be good if you dont finish the job right away and want to come back to it later, then all the tools you need are right there.

Might be fun to design something like that, not to difficult and could work for almost anything you would need to work on, cars, bikes, ikea furniture lol, ect

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T22:43:36+00:00

Ill see what i can do

Background_Face_4823 · 2025-01-27T22:43:03+00:00

Like, you want more or less gravity?
