Just picked up a new Specialized Epic Evo 8 and I'm pumped to ditch my MTB saddle bag with the SWAT frame storage. I've already playd around with sme of the current items that I had in my saddle bag, but I'd love to find solutions that are smaller, more compact and work better.

Obviously Specialzied calls their solution SWAT, but its my understanding a few other brands have similar setups.

What are people storing in their bikes on-frame storage areas and what has been successful?

Looking forward to some great ideas.

Jonathan Lee from TrainerRoad posted an amazing 3D printed tool carrier for the SWAT box on his Epic 8. He seemed to share it mostly in his Instagram stories and I remember he sold a very limited first batch of them. A quick Google search yielded two results (below) where you can at least see what it is. Not sure what the latest is, but sounds like he was trying to find a better way to distribute them to meet demand.
