    I like the small one I have now, I think it's only 1.5L, simply because it's nonrestrictive while biking. I take at least an extra bottle on the bike as well, and I always have a cooler of drinks at the truck I try not to be too far from on a bike ride.

    yessss. I just like that all my stuff stays with the bag that goes with MTB. I'm actually going to put together an extra little tool box I have specific to my bike that I keep.

    that's basically what I have...the slim bladder holder only type...lol

    it holds a spare tube, patch kit, and my cell phone/wallet too though.

    I want to find a good bag to attach to my bike for my gopro stuff, batteries, accessories, etc.

    haha yeah I don't hammock, and I have a bag more suited for hiking already. I don't want the extra camera stuff weighing on my back along with the bladder so that's why I opted for the smaller bag for biking.

    yeah I have an old rickety toolbox just sitting on a shelf I figured I'd throw old or spare parts and miscellaneous tools for the bike in there, just stuff you don't normally use but would be nice to have back at the truck. like a 15mm wrench

    His truck never breaks apparently. Just like he never has flats on his bike.

    I have one of those regular ol' socket/ratchet tool kits, but not all the tools possible for use on the truck. I def don't have a 15mm wrench.

    I don't keep a bunch of tools in the truck on a daily basis, I pack and take them as needed for trips.
