Seems to me that they are mutually exclusive short of a fake seat tube -- hey, there's an idea.
Depends what bike it is, some ebikes have space to pack a tube in next to the battery.

Cat caught your tongue?
(have bought a Topeak PT30 which will simplify the stuff I carry )
Was this directed at me?
Not sure what you mean by “cat caught your tongue”
Merriam Webster said:cat got your tongue
idiom
informal
—used to ask someone why he or she is not saying anything
Am awaiting your comments on the fact that the bag on the scales at 660g is the full bag instead of as you thought the empty bag.
Also an answer to "how much do you weigh?"
What’s there to comment on?…..lol
You said it weighs 660gram, am I supposed to call you a liar?
I’m still puzzled how your replied the OP’s post about a discreet way to carry some tools is to suggest he strap a backpack to his head tube like you did. What exactly is discreet about that?
That's an interesting seat. Never seen anything like it. It looks like it needs some Viagra or Cialis or something!With the phone on top works for me, but always open to alternatives.
Cool looking ride and an ingenious pretty discreet emergency set up for sure.
Very cool tool kit. Brand?

If you are using the OneUp setup with tubeless tires, I don't how much less you can ask for. Most of the riders on this forum are older and like to spend the day out on their bikes where they might be hours away from their homes or cars and like to be prepared for what may happen. I am never more than 30 minutes walk down from a trail if I am not able to fix a problem trail side with what I carry in my fanny pack (basically what you are showing in your picture with the additon of a phone, keys, ID, small pliers (smaller than shown), a CO2 inflator. Clif shots and more bacon!) but I also run Cushcore front and back so its not like I am going to carry a tube or tire levers. I run a Fox 38 and don't want to have to thread a OneUp steer tube so other than a small back pack, this is what I came up with.I’m assuming at 660g that bag is empty on the scale?
Why do you carry 5oz of tubeless sealant and a spare tube?
I really feel like all of this

Just seems that you have somethings that are unnecessary unless you were doing some epic all day ride in the middle of nowhere.

What else were you exactly looking to carry?

Im going to try the EDC steerer tube solution.
It’s a shame it can’t hold a Co2 can and a tyre plug.

I call your bluff. The smallest one is in my fanny pack. I am but a mere High School Technology teacher (CAD, Egnineering and Woodwork) so I am able to do most technical things to the grade 12 level!. "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, become administrators" At least I am not like my brothers who are Engineers, who are practically useless!A buddy at work showed me a Knipex pliers that the company had given him to perform a very specific task. Since I would be retiring soon and I didn't need it for work, I would have felt bad requisitioning one for myself. As it turns out, Mrs. Iron bought me the WHOLE SET of Knipex smooth jaw pliers. These things are GREAT. Call me racist if you will, but those Germans build some NICE stuff.
I'm glad that it was a stock photograph to show us the pliers, rather than a picture you took yourself. Otherwise I would have made fun of your freshly manicured hands that don't look like they've done a lick of work in your life, and your pliers that have never touched a bolt head.
We always called them chicken legs in the diving industry ? don't know why.

My 3 bikes use a small frame bag. I’d rather not have to walk out if I break down half way through a 20 mile loop. I mostly ride trails where I am only a few miles from the car at all times. On the weekends I’ll try to do long loops if I can get away. I’d rather not change back and forth for each type of riding, I like things simple. I hate seat bags. I’ve found these small frame bags to look good and store everything I need.

Here are the different bikes with their respective bags:
What are the bags? (make/models)

As a side note, those top tube bags are disgusting and bulky, but I guess they work and to each their own.

I’m not a fan of frame bags as I find they diminish the aesthetics of the frame but those look quite good. Especially the last black one. That is virtually undetectable.My 3 bikes use a small frame bag. I’d rather not have to walk out if I break down half way through a 20 mile loop.
