    Can't you strap them under your saddle with toe straps ?

    I have one of these, but it's only good for a single tub. It's a good bag though:

    I was using toe straps for a while but after a few wet rides the tub ended up covered in loads of spray/grit/crap from the road.

    Question - how long is it practically safe to store a folded, pre-glued tub? I mean - if I get a flat and need to replace, the tub isn't going to be glued to itself? Mine has been 'curing' and 'aging' for a good few months now.

    I had one... can't remember the brand... they are extremely tight and in the end I found a much better way which is to fold them inside a "musette" and strap them to the saddle rails using a leather strap for pedals

    don't usually use a saddle bag, however doing RVV and PR Challenge so need a way to carry two tubs.

    Was thinking of toe clip straps and a bag of some type but it costs the same for a saddle bag.

    Another option would be the tool bottles and get an feed bag for the frame

    This is the one I had, which does fit two tubs, but not 2 x 27 mm tubs

    It looks revolting on the bike, so that you know

    It does have the body in a carpet look about it.

    Think I'll go with the arundel and one in a tool bottle.

    Can't fit 27mm front so its a mixed pair

    The Arundel is also very tight for one tub... you can fit a 23 Corsa CX, but nothing bigger

    I've ridden the pave/kaissen of P-Rx and Flanders frequently - fortunately the local stone is quite soft so punctures are rare. I'd recommend carrying a single tub and some sealant rather than two spares. Tufo Extreme will deal with quite big cuts IME.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Cal given you have Paves do what I do ue a Topeak Dry wedge large. My two paves fit, it maybe tight but they go in there.

    This may be able to hold both:

    It certainly takes one tub, wallet, iphone, sealant, multitool and some other guff too.
    Alternative... same as above but pop the spare tub in a sealable bag and pop it in the jersey pocket.
