What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

I fitted one of the storage tubes to the LHS of the Givi Monokey rack.

 

Mine has the diagonal stays for the rear rack fitted and this prevents fitting the tube behind the frame, so the rear is hung off the cross-bar and the front from the stay.

 

The P clips are 16mm which is a smidge loose on the tubes so I used large washers under the nuts and bolts to clamp the clip arms closer and secure. This tube is the middle size 80mm ID and the inside of the tube is outside of the chainguard, and should be out of reach of a full suspension compression anyway.

The yellow labelling on the tube came off with cellulose thinners and some elbow grease.

 

I bought the tube from a UK supplier to avoid a long wait from China and to support UK business. Paid a few bob more but it is worth it. Both tube and P-clips ordered on eBay Wednesday pm, arrived today Sat am.

Looks like it holds a 1 litre beer bottle
