feetup Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 How can i carry the basic necessities when mountain biking without cluttering myself or the bike?When i started MTB some years back i used a bag then a hydration pack. Then i did the bottle cage at the back. I am now on a saddle bag. I still feel like i'm over doing it? What have you riders got/altered or done to carry your goodies when riding?
JoeyK Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Everything except water bottle go in the back pockets of jersey. Bobbo_SA, TheRob, ricochet_rabbit and 10 others 13
Orbit Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Tube taped to bottom of saddle. Bomb, 2 levers, bomb adapter and multitool in back pocket. Other pocket takes a snack with phone and a Mandela. Never needed more than that on the trail. Baaisikilist and feetup 2
Gary57 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 All variable go in one of these in my cycling jersey. Double seal so 100% water proof. feetup 1
hayleyearth Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Depends what type of ride I go on... Also my bikes (accept for road one) don't have bottle cages. For my +- 30km after work ride I only carry one bottle water, cell, hanky and my house keys and all goes in my shirt pockets. Edited January 13, 2014 by hayleyearth

Oufy MTB (Roadie) Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 MTB - long ride i take the kitchen sink in the hydration pack (even a shock pump) - overkill I know - short ride, just a bottle of water in the cage. Road- tube, tyre levers, chain link and tool in saddle bag. cos I use both bikes for commuting the saddle bags with spare tubes remain permanently on.
rouxtjie Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 water / juice in bottles in their cages the rest...shirt pockets.
