Tough, i have saddle bags and could not give a hoot if you think its cool or not.

 

I see and raise your saddle bag, see the proof below on my spaz

just big enough for 1 x tube, patches / glue, 2 tyre levers, bomb and adopter that fits the bomb and car tyre pump at petrol stations plus some paper money for an emergency hunger bonk or sidewall slit.

 

You were talking about bike saddle bags...?

SIR Maxxis

i see u have a problem with men in tights with big equipment?

 

is this because u didn't breast feed?

 

It is true that I wasn't breast fed as a baby. However that only made me more fond of lovely breasts.

 

My clothing and equipment preferences originate from a completely different depravity.

Saddlebags are so yesterday :thumbdown:

 

But thinking of what all I have in my Hydration pack......now that is another story :eek:

 

I have the following:

 

2 x 29 tubes

6 x CO2 cartridges

1 x Hand/Foot pump

Tyre levels - Have got girls hands so need them :blush:

1 x Park tool Allanjeys

1 x Multi tool

1 x Rain Jacket "Thise small foldup ones'

Medcial aid kit consisting of all the essentials wipes, plasters, disinfectant, gauze

 

And the most important: Snacks food

 

Exactly. Look at all this stuff!

And you are carying this in addition to 2 or 3 kg of water on your shoulders? what on earth for. its tireing.

Carry your water in your camelbak, and put the rest onto your bike frame via a saddle bag/bottle cage spare holder tube.

even better still is nothing on your person except gels in your pockets: - spares in the saddlebag, and water in bottles - All carried by the bike frame. all you do is pedal and have fun.

I like those bottle cage mounted tool kits but I just don't have the time to pick them up off the trail. I have to carry everything because there is no one behind me to help. I have a saddlebag as, from riding a dirt bike, the less crap you carry on you, the easier it is to move around.

 

But I've only done it for 15 years or so and still a noob. I certainly haven't got faster.
