Hydration bladder in small tangle bag--mount drinking tube?

[Terrigriff]

I am considering using a bladder in the tangle bag, however I don't know how to attach the tube so it's easy to grab and not flopping around.  The tube also is pretty short, so it seems like I'm going to have to bend way down to try to drink.  I'm doing my first gravel century at DK, and would like to avoid having anything on back if I don't have to.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!!

I use the Velcro tubeholder that comes with hydrapak branded packs. One price on the bars and one on the drink tube.I'm sure you could find some double sided Velcro that would do the same job.

Try one of those retractable keyrings.

Velcro does work pretty well.

You can buy a longer hose and quicklink type of attachment, but you'll have to suck harder to get a drink.

Buy the longer insulated hose if you can, then you can shove a spoke down between the neoprene sleeve and the hose, and bend it to shape to bring the mouthpiece up a bit and hold shape.
