Hi all,
I want to get a pair of bottles and cages for my white Triban 3.
Ideally I want one/both of the bottles to be large enough for spares (tube, pump, multitool and puncture repair kit). I'd rather have a pump than CO2 system I think.
Do decathlon sell bottles large enough for this? If so which ones? And/or which pump would be small enough for this??
It's not clear for the web what the relative sizes are and I can't get down there for a while. I've a preference for decathlon ones because I have a voucher but will consider other online shops.
If they're white - perfect!!

Standard bottle will do the job for all but your pump unless I use co2 in which case you can cram it all in, you'll sacrifice a bottle but it's unlikely, as a relative noob, that you'll need both bottles ATM

CO2 strikes me as a bit wasteful really.

@pubey you can get 'tool bottles' This is my PRO 500ml one - screw lid. Mecca also do a version - TOOL BOTTLE LINK you can get 750ml versions, a pump may fit, depending on which you have. Search online / ebay for 'tool bottle'

I've now got a pump attached to side of bottle cage, and a v small Continental saddle bag with a tube, boot, patches, 1 allen key with 4mm on one end and 5 on other, chain tool and pin with a co2 inflator in. Best way imo. takes some precision packing though. What happens when you need your bottle cages for a dink in the summer!?

With 2 cages I use a tool bottle in winter which frees space in my largish saddlepack for a thin extra layer then go back to 2 bottles for summer.

That's what I do in summer, but with big variations in temperature some extra space is more useful than an extra bottle for some rides
