If you have a cool way to carry tools on your bike, I will appreciate it if you can please post a pic and write about your setup.

I recently bought the Gen 4 Rail 9.9.

Thanks!

Congratulations on getting your new bike! Tool carrying/hydration is quite a personal choice and really depends on what you want to carry and how. Since you said "... on your bike" you might consider the following: OneUp EDC
I personally use a hip pack to carry my phone ,ID, CO2 "pump", bacon strips and a multi tool as I run tubeless tires as I don't like to wear a backpack and my rides are never longer than 3 hours. EVOC
I am sure others will chime in with lots of different ideas but without you providing some sort of details on what you plan to carry, how long you ride for and where you ride, you are going to get a lot of variety of ideas as most the the riders on this forum have not been to NorCal.

OneUp EDC tool kit in the steering tube. The OneUp EDC Pump works good on some bikes. It doesn't fit well on the Pivot, so I use the Pivot Dock Ninja. It won't fit your Trek, but maybe it will give you some ideas.

Interesting because I was thinking of the Camelback Frame Pack. It would likely only fit under the Down Tube so it would not be as secure as under the Top Tube inside of the Main Triangle. But it would have an inner tube and bike parts so not likely as heavy as being full of water, which is what it was designed for.

Congratulations on getting your new bike! … what you plan to carry, how long you ride for and where you ride.

I emailed OneUp asking what to get and they recommended the EDC pump, V2 tool, and pliers. It cost me roughly $180. Once I get it I will let you know about the install and take pics. The kit just needs better automoblie-type tire plugs. At this point if I do not find a working bike bag, I will likely just wrap an inner tube around a frame tube and call it a day.

While coaching I carry my med kit in a fanny pack. I usually hydrate a water bottle worth before rides so rarely do I drink again from my caged water bottle (even on an acoustic bike). I tend to ride about 10-20 miles where flat, uphill and descents each are about a third of the ride.

By the way, my IPhone is set up on a Quadlock using a motorcycle mount secured on the Rail’s oval bars using their Roll Cage Hose Clamp and a thick ziptie. In the pic are also a Timber Bell and a light turned parallel to the bars. I run four such lights. I turn them sideways when not in use.

I do not like carrying things on me. I ride dirtbikes so couldn’t care less if the bike is heavy. But having it be self-contained and ready to go is cool.
