[Me rida my bicycle]

In the quest to go pack-less, but with a minimalist look (no one can honestly say that saddle bags look good), and following on from my cage-less water bottle installation, I have decided to address the matter of trailside tools.

 

The result was the purchase of one of these:

which has been installed as follows:

It seems to offer just about everything one needs in a trailside mechanical emergency. The only things left to address are spare tube and CO2 bomb + adapter (although the EDC can have a CO2 bomb attached in place of the storage tube).

 

According to CRC and OneUp stock levels, these things are quite hard to come by, but luckily a LBS had 2 ins stock and also included installation with the purchase, which saved me buying the steerer tube tapping kit and potentially messing things up.

 

Approximately R1500 all in.

This looks so cool!

Went looking for new shorts yesterday and only ones I could find that were near a decent quality (Leatt) were nearly R2500 odd.   

So went for online and got a new wardrobe that is way better quality for less thanks to Flare Co and a few sale items.

They are a UK company. I was wanting we featured 4 way stretch shorts & their tops seem to be pretty light weight & good for our summers so I took a gamble on them. Birthday is coming so is a present from me to me & family members are coming back from visiting expats in Scotland so can bring over. It's a shame that not many manufacturers really put thought into jerseys and shorts & just do the same thing over and over again.

Unfortunately I have been bitten in the past by that surprise when they land. Almost sent the package back.

Have you used it yet? My mocca pot spatters so much when it nears the end, I’m keen to hear if this makes such a clean cup as in the picture. Since I got my aeropress the pot has taken a back seat. I’m keen to get one of those aeropress things that add more pressure so it makes an esspresso shot.
