reading these posts made me laugh a lot......Guess if we didn't laugh at ourselves and our riding friends, cycling might just be a bit too serious. 

 

Poser or no poser, opinion always differ, but cycling is what matters....ride safe!

He is still stuck in his "back to Steel" phase. ;-)

I have been stuck in this steel phase for quite some time.

Still have my old Kona Kilauea frame sitting here.

I very much doubt I will be making any aloominum acquisitions in a hurry.

Whenever I see someone riding with a saddle bag the first word that comes to mind is..... Pfffffff "rookie"!

Again Im going to ask where you keep your spares.

Multitool?

Spare tube/puncture repair/bombs?

Yeah... err no.

That means loading it all up each time. Mine sits comfortably in my saddle bag, ready for every ride without needing to do anything.

Good luck with that .

I can't even remember what a saddle bag looks like.

Shorter rides I only take a multi tool.... Longer marathon distances I will usually end up taking a camel back along. If not jersey pockets. If I'm riding in a group I usually don't take any spares.

 

At one stage I was putting a tube and a multi tool in my bottle in the bottle because I was even to cool to use water. With shorter distances you can get away with this. However, I'm not that cool anymore because I even use 32GI in my bottles now.

 

My bike is kept in good shape though.... I would say she gets your average work shop basic service every 100km or so.... If you keep your bike in great shape you will rarely need to do any work in the field. That's my experience though. It could be that I have just been majorly lucky. Who knows....

 

Using a saddle bag is like using a moon bag to me. If I really need to carry anything, I'll take the camel back, but I hate wearing that thing, gives me back pain.

It's those black scrotum things you velcro to the saddle to look like a doosh

I use a saddle bag on my road bike - I seriously could not be bothered to load all the bits into my shirt for each ride.  And for a race that's where the sweets and biltong have to go  :whistling:

 

And for mountain biking everything lives in my camelback.

dont want to burst your bubble here, but single speeding is the new poser...

In 2015, we will be NO-CHAINING....

You heard it here, FIRST!
