I just take off my bottle cages when I'm touring, put a bladder in the frame bag. I carry more water then I would with two bottles and have more space in the frame bag then I would with a half.

Of course. Thanks. And thanks @edscoble
I'd figured out it would make sense to use the bottom water bottle cage with an adapter to move the cage lower. I'd already ordered the adapter (oops) but this makes much more sense.
Is there a recommended bladder? I have no idea what I'm doing but am planning to be doing some touring in the second half of July so need to get things sorted (and Restrap custom frame bags take three weeks).

In planning on putting an order in for some Restrap bike packing kit.
Spatr says I should get a custom frame back. I get why, and the basic principles, but what's the best thing to do in terms of avoiding v. not avoiding water bottles? The bike I'll mostly use it on only has two bottle cage mounts in the usual places.
I guess what I'm really asking is what's the 'best practice' (sic) for ordering a custom frame bag?
