Bell is definitely the most inconspicuous and therefore the best option. I like that it hides the airtag in plain sight and doesn't look like something that is purely there to hold an airtag, which would always stick out like a sore thumb.

I got my bike stolen, then found by the police. First thing the theft did was to remove labels and accessories to de-personalize the bike. I think hiding into the frame (if possible) is the best option.

the problem with not removing the speaker on the airtag is the bike stealer will get the option to ring the airtag if they have an iphone. It will warn their phone "you are being tracked by an airtag" and let them ring it to try and find it. if you cut the speaker, they won't be able to.

Or just only 1 airtag, but you put a sticker with the label "2. Bottle", "3. Saddle" where it is. When they find it, they will think there must be "1. " somewhere and will look for it then could not find it, so they might just give up.

Issue I had with the water bottle mount is the star wrench on my trek, the clearance is very tight & the battery gave up pretty quickly. Or made tones before I removed the speaker. So I'm not fond of the water bottle mount, might work fine for others but not me.

you should never mount your airtag outside it will become totally point less , you need to think as a bike thief , so you need to hide your airtag INSIDE YOUR BIKE yes inside you should hide it inside your bike, "INSIDE" your bicycle frame , FORK, seat post , unscrew your saddle and put it inside your bicycle saddle , inside handle bar remember "INSIDE" just make sure it stay hidden ,I manage to put 4 apple airtag and 2 momax Pintag "INSIDE MY BIKE " total six air tag I gotta say im very impress with the result it help track my bike within 3 hours after it got stolen last week and call police to help recover my bike within 5 hours it got stolen , and catch the thief
