Caltrigger Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I've ridden for years with a Camelbak....now I'm thinking of ditching it for the 20-40km rides of up to 2.5hours... What do you guys take with you on a ride other than liquids (2x750ml)? NOTE: Saddle bags and Cr@p are banned!!! So just what one can fit in a shirt please!! Multi tool - good oneTyre leversTubless plugs or a tube?SweetsPhoneWhat else?? Edited March 8, 2012 by Caltrigger
janneman72 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 If your cellphone has GPS you don't need much more. I think youve covered it.

Ed-Zulu Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Agreed, at race time you'll encounter a water table or two over that distance and time...so my list: - waterbottle in cage, one in the shirtin ziplock baggie- 2 bombs, one attached to inflator- multitool and powerlink- plugs if you run tubeless - really want to be sure, tape a tube to the seatpost- energy bars/gels specific to the distance- phone loaded with Endomondo if you don't already have GPS fitted IMO anything more on these distances is not needed - so in agreement with you observations Andre 77 1

dirtrider Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 20 to 40km race !!! 2 x water bottles ?? Spare Tube , plug and chain breaker .
Grondpad Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Always take some moola. You newer know where they might hide a nice little bar Get one of those brackets that fit behind your waterbottle that you can screw your bombs into. It think its like R29. No cling cling noises.
TNT1 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Always take some moola. You newer know where they might hide a nice little bar if you might hit the wall on the ride home after the race, and need to stop and buy whatever edible thing you can find...

Caerus Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Depends where you are riding. I ride Giba and do a +- 2-3 hr ride or 40km, I'm still pretty close for getting back to the trail centre from anywhere inside the park. so I ride with just 1 bottle, some energy bars/ sweets, asthma pump & 2 bombs and set of quick links and thats it. I did 30km yesterday and still had half a bottle left. I also recently ditched the camelpack.
