    How are you carrying bear spray?

    I've tried a couple of ways and nothing that I'm super happy with for ease of accessibility and not being in the way. Water bottle conversion thing doesn't work with Counter Assault as the can is a little too fat.

    Jersey pocket for me. That way, I have it off the bike during breaks.

    I am interested in this one from Whitefish. In the bike mount, I know lots of people who use this one.

        I usually just apply it on before I head out.

          Water bottle conversion, or in the hip belt of my fanny pack. I prefer the water bottle.

          I know some people have gotten fatter cans of bear spray to fit in a water bottle by boiling the water bottle a bit to make it soft and then just cramming the bear spray in.

            I ordered one of these through a buddy who did a group buy https://ghostriderequipment.com/

            Just came in last week so haven't seen it or tried it out yet, but seems to check a lot of boxes.

              Tucked it into the shirt if I felt like it was bouncing around too much, worked ok for my first MTB experience out west.

                  Doesn’t it bounce around annoyingly mounted in that spot?

                    I don't have good photo, but bag has strap down to fork crown. So no motion at all.

                      Interesting. Thx. I’ve only seen them mounted on shoulder straps which seemed pretty easy to access

                        I use the feedbag/stem bag with a buff at the bottom to keep it padded. My buddy had one of these on a big ride and it looked slick: https://www.formatde.co/

                          Ditto for me. Works better than any other method I tried.

                          I like this one from Revelate.

                            We sell these in store. They are awesome if you are looking to carry on the bike.

                              I'm kind of leaning that way, but there are three votes for the handlebar bag, so....I can see pros and cons both ways.
