I have just picked up a full collection of Revelate bags, including a medium Tangle bag so I can still use my frame bottle mounts though may need to buy side entry cages. For longer more remote rides I am considering adding cages to both forks and under the downtube using tape to protect the paint first and hose clamps to hold the cages. Is this the best way to do it or other options better?

Given the following information on their site "Note! This product does not work with 26ers with suspension forks." I might be optomistic thinking I can attach anything under the downtube... Will have to trial a cage using hose clamps and see if it is possible on my bike which is a 26er with front suspension.

Mounts to most standard forks and suspension forks with the proper P Clamps.
The Everything Bag comes ready to go out of the box - no trips to the hardware store to make it fit.
P Clamps allow the bag to fit on almost any fork, I just need the fork leg diameter so I can send the right size. I also send M5 nylock nuts with the P Clamps so they stay on securely.
Not so sure about how quick and easy they would be to put on and take off.

Another alternative DMR Hinged clamp if 28.6mm, 34.9mm or 31.8mm are the right diameter

Like this:
I always use the lower run of the bars as a guide - it should be pointing towards the rear axle. This leaves the tops at a fairly level, near-horizontal alignment so that I am not continually sliding forwards on the bars. I want to be able to us the corner of the tops, or the hoods, as a I choose. Modern ergo-bend drops have this angled lower bend alignment built into the bars.
So I reckon those bars on the Moots are not too far off-line.

Yeah, like I said not too far off-line I'd swing the bars down 5-10 degreessinglespeedscott wrote:The drops look to be pointing at the bottom bracket to me

However with the drops splayed this much I doubt you'd pull your hands off the ends of 'em.
