Reme Le Hane Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 A i was thinking if any benefit of going to 800mm aswell. hahahha, thats why asked for full pic to see if that saddle bag is hanging around. I have the holy rail from Lyne and i still hear fair amount of noise from it (tied up co2 bombs), so just weighin up if i need ot go hip bag aswellI ended up taking my rails off, I have my spare tube, slugs and plug in a strap on the seat tube. Tools are strapped to the down tube. Got the giant clutch to stash a co2 in the head tube. Hand pump in the hip bag. With enough time and money, you can get almost everything nearly on a bike.

DR ◣◢ Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 My Specialized SWAT with a spare tube a couple of bombs, an air tool, a pump, 3 tire levers, big multi tool, plugs and plug tool [emoji12] *pic cropped to show the tools on errrr in the bike I still rate the SWAT system as one of the best stash solutions in the industry. My fiance's Stumpjumper is filled up with our spare tubes and bits. She carries that and I carry the tools. I do have a Tubolito in my hip bag though for the odd occasion that I'm out on a solo ride.

capediver Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 So the accepted formula for the amount of bikes you should own is N + 1, this we agree! Having research this and found it to be extremely accurate but not altogether achievable or sustainable due to the increasing cost of compliance, I thought that surely similar formulae exist for other facets of cycling...my research has found that the same formula exists for footwear... Having deduced this, I now present to you for your eye-ball feasting, my latest attempt at compliance and effort to engage the retro facet of my personality (albeit not a large one but never-mind, the formula does not choose your predilection, it is omnipotent) : Wayne pudding Mol, Beattbox, Pieter1 and 10 others 13
Reme Le Hane Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 so you also experienced the noise for the holy rail? and just tossed it rather?Nope, just found it less suitable than I would have liked. Mine where never noisy, I had 2 of them. My current solution is just more cost effective, no need to have 2 full sets of everything. The expensive stuff can simply move from bike to bike, but each one can have all their cheap stuff. I found “hiding” things away easier and neater with straps. MajG 1

I've all of a sudden this weekend also decided to take off the saddle bag because it doesn't look so nice, although it's practical to put everything in there.
