Just wondering... I have an older Specialized Stumpjumper that doesn't have room in the triangle for my shark pack battery. But the frame does have a pair of rivnuts on the outside of the downtube. If I mount the battery there is would be "hanging" and be in tension rather than compression like in the inside of a triangle. Anyone tried this? Are the mounts strong enough to hold up without breaking? Or is it necessary (of just a good idea) to wrap such a battery install with straps to better secure it to the downtube?
