I carry a spare tub under my saddle strapped to the rails Its folded as small as it can possibly go with no base tape showing , similar to this https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2F-RuWy6ZuOMIQ%2FTEzNP5xh6dI%2FAAAAAAAACDM%2FlYPl7sJtoTw%2Fs800%2FP1000059.JPG&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bikeforums.net%2Fclassic-vintage%2F821401-best-way-fold-carry-tubular-tire.html&docid=XJdpkA6gEdQrcM&tbnid=QTp4PTaY4z3toM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwju7Zi8ndDaAhWmAsAKHYP4A1cQMwg2KAAwAA..i&w=800&h=600&bih=725&biw=1536&q=folding%20a%20spare%20tubular%20tire&ved=0ahUKEwju7Zi8ndDaAhWmAsAKHYP4A1cQMwg2KAAwAA&iact=mrc&uact=8 The problem i have is my bib shorts seem to be rubbing on each side causing wear to them Cant really mount it anywhere else as all pockets are used for other stuff and bottle cages are both being used on every ride and i like the look of it strapped under the saddle Any ideas, tips?

velcro strap and secure

velcro strap and secure around seat tube or top section of down tube?

Personally I carry a sealant foam cannister that expands to inflate whilst sealing the hole, never bothered taking a spare tub and the cannister takes up a heck of a lot less space.

That’s a top tip. In my case not for tubs, but for tubes stored in a saddle pack with tools – stops them wearing a hole in the spare tube.
