I’m thinking of buying a possum to replace my camelback, so wanting to hold water in either a bladder or squashy bottle, snacks, lightweight jacket, pump, small first aid kit and phone in a pouch. Tools are already in a saddle pack. Frame does have a bottle mount, but only the one and it’s under the down tube and in the firing line for sheep s*** fired off the front wheel!

Pics of your possums fitted to a bike would be appreciated, ideally with what size they are (possum and bike frame)

Trying to work out if I can fit one in this frame and if it will fulfill my requirements

You should be able to check from the Alpkit website dimensions whether you need the small, medium or large bag for that frame by length first and then horizontal width second.

You would struggle to get much more than a bladder in the small and medium, so worth checking what kit you actually have in your camelback against the size of your preferred bag. You could also add a fuel pod for xtra capacity

I’ve got a medium and it allows me to get out without a rucksack BUT I carry water in a bottle. I can get a decent pump, keys, tube, tools etc with space to spare on one side and a small camera and phone on the other but fitting a bladder or bottle in there would be tricky imho…
