I wouldn't use tape either, I grew up using old tubes as bungees, so I'd have a piece of an old one cut and use it to tie a spare one to the bike. Very swappable between bike, non sticky, no need of bolts/holes, cheap and can make many from one single old tube. ;)

Edit: I obviously wouldn't ditch the old tube, that's just more bungees!

Or another tube to patch and use again, if it's a long ride with lack of bike shops.

Yeah sure, I only ditch a tube if it has 6/7 patches or holes to big. But not the point here.

I think I will just use a top tube bag for tools, and place it against the saddle
