DR ◣◢ Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Top heavy much?? Not at all. The shock pump and Leatherman are light enough. RockCoach 1

DR ◣◢ Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Why do you need to carry a shockpump with you? Surely checked before the ride is good enough? I'm that awesome! That and I've had to use it on three rides already. You never know.
travisza Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I'm that awesome! That and I've had to use it on three rides already. You never know.Having to pump up your shock during a ride. 3 times. I would classify that as unlucky.
DR ◣◢ Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Having to pump up your shock during a ride. 3 times. I would classify that as unlucky. It's called "perfecting the setup" As said earlier, we fiddle to make sure the bike is setup correctly for the trail we ride.I don't use the same pressure, compression and rebound settings for every trail/condition I ride. A bike is NOT fit/set & forget. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Li Mu Bai Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) in my camelbak is just 2l of Endurapower drink, and my car key.All the other bits/spares/tools are in a saddle bag for the bike to carry. cant stand sucking on a muddy/dusty waterbottle - camelback is easier to use whenever i need it and less filthy Edited June 21, 2013 by Li Mu Bai
Rob Mortimer Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 No camelback - stuff it all in my baggie pockets. All being a couple of bombs, adaptor, plugs, plug tool and multi tool
