Storage for bottle cage mounts? (lemmy.world)

I bought a new mountain bike recently, and it has three sets of bottle cage mounts. But there's no way I could actually get two bottles inside the front triangle, and the third set is on the bottom of the down tube where I don't think I trust a bottle to stay anyway. So I have one bottle on the top of the down tube, but the other two mounts are currently unused.

I was using a Dakine Gripper on my old bike, but it never stayed in place, so I was hoping to find something like that that would mount directly to the bottle cage mounts. But I can't seem to find anything like this.

Does anything like this exist? What do you do with extra bottle cage mounts?

Pivot sells a handy "box" that's big enough to hold a tube, but I use it to carry a small multitool & my keys. It's compact enough to attach using the mounts underneath the top tube right above the shock on my Switchblade without getting in the way. And I actually bought it at a local dealer instead of ordering it online.

Ooh, thanks- this is pretty much exactly what I had in mind.

place a bikelock there or if you have a 3d printer get creative. fidlock is supposedly pretty good. dont know as i use a framebag and normal plastic waterbottles you can get at the supermarket.
