Is he the Spanish "Webster" ?

It depends Sometimes I don't even bother, if I puncture I walk, Either way, just make sure you have the adapter with you, otherwise no matter how many bombs you have you will still be walking back to the trail centre.

I use the tube attached to my seatpost.. If that punctures I use patches. I will carry two bombs, otherwise I walk back or just get a taxi.

Exactly

If I ride Giba, for a short ride(1-2 hours) I take nothing except a water bottle - NO TOOLS at all. You can get back to the trail centre within a 20min walk. Otherwise I ride with the "Camelbak" all the time, as for the beach I might ride with a patch & bomb thats it, spare tube is always taped under the seat. Get the thinner walled tubes. Think of your whereabout and pack accordingly

Then don't get a Camelbak, there are plenty other options, but like I also said its something you will have for a while and can be used for other activites as well, a saddle bag will be just that, unless you plan to use it as a moonbag?

What I find bizare is that you are not grasping the obvious, there is NO ultimate solution.

From what I've seen they carry what they can in their back pouches, its's that or they walk.

A Camelback also can be used for other activities besides cycling, trail running and day hiking to name just a few. You know it makes more sense, but you're just being stubborn. Why can't you ride a social ride with a pack anyway?

This will never happen

Are you taking the plunge?

Just heard the new Red Hot Chili Peppers song - Brendans Death Song today, it was released yesterday Sound pretty cool.

What is a word made up of 4 letters yet is also made up of 3. Although is written with 8 letters, and then with 4. Rarely consists of 6, and never is written with 5...

Sorry to hear, any pics of your mising bike?

I take it she has no leather shoes either?

The M666 just look so much nicer though

I did this at Eden in Stellies in Dec on my first ride there, back wheel on my full sus clipped the top of the log and over the bars I went, ripped my brand new grips and ended up with a mouth full of dirt. Just as well no one saw, lol.

Thats what I was thinking, you can get it so right sometimes, but look/ feel like a muppet when you get it wrong

How much difference do you think 12-13mm wil make in raising the BB?

Not really, found some info in those two links that 650B palace doesnt have. They even mention the HubSA Seems we are experts

This one? or this one? If not can you find a link please?

It will be my brakeset of choice for my trail bike when I upgrade
