• Could do with some insight on carrying a bladder in a frame bag. I see two options, either keeping it as low as possible but not having practical space around it or putting in a horizontal divider but having it higher up. I'm inclined to go for the latter as I think it would be easier to take it out for filling and the lower compartment could be used for tools and the like, but not sure if I'm missing a glaring downside to keeping it there. This is a 2 liter bladder from Decathlon, doesn't seem great but should do the trick until it springs a leak (an argument for not having stuff below the bladder?).

    This framebag will go in my Kona Unit, so it's going to see off-road use too if that makes any difference.

  • YMMV but I found it easier having a bigger bladder that was half full.

    Reason being when smaller bladder was full it wasn't that flexible but a half full bigger one could be bent and squished.

  • Makes a lot of sense, looking at other bladders I'm also not a fan of the rigid closure of the Decathlon bag. Can't return it anymore and not going to chuck it, so it'll have to do for now. Any thoughts on the high or low position?
