AlanD Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Used a saddle bag back in the day but they breaking and went through 2 or 3. Now I just keep stuff in my pockets but take as minimal as possble and hope nothing major goes wrong
RocknRolla Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Jersey pocket. If riding solo longer rides with hydration pack it obviously goes in there... When riding witth he wife...she carries the spares.
Fisan Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Where all the #Enduro people at? - always carrying a backpack with the capacity to survive 10 days in the wild. What are you hiding in there?
blondeonabike Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I put everything in my pockets. I dont like it when boepensie guys put lots of heavy things in their back pockets. It makes their shirts pull tight on their tummies. This is just wrong. These guys are allowed to have the biggest saddle bags they want.
Baracuda Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I've always used a saddle bag, but with DS frame design I had to get a second bottle on my bike. The dropper post meant that I no longer was able to use the seat post clamps for a 2nd bottle cage. I eventually found a workable solution. I reverted to a top tube bag for my spares, phone etc. i have a rather large one for stage races, and a smaller one for shorter rides.

canadonis Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Saddle bag and camel back if stage races. Hate things in pockets besides few bars or gu

Were can I buy.
L.T.G Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 nothing can possibly hurt more than handing in your man card, which you will have to do with a saddlebagWhen I saw this thread title, I knew rouxtjie would have his say He's hated saddle bags since before Riaan Cruywagen was born!Me, I don't like to carry anything, but want to have everything with me...that's why I'm grateful for SWAT and this->that... and learning how to use pocpacs properly, don't even know they're there.
GLuvsMtb Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Like those.Were can I buy.The seat bottle cage clamp - any specialized store. The top tube caddy - got mine at CWC, but have seen them in the larger cycling stores stocking Topeak.
Wally39 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 With the amount of falling I do, it's got to be a saddle bag. About to do the upgrade to a dropper post. How well do the 2 work together?
GRoux Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Saddlebags don't last for me. I keep ripping them apart, even the expensive ones. Have a tool "bottle" in a cage on the frame for tools, bombs and some tape and a tube in my jersey pocket or hydration pack depending on the ride.

Milosh Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 They don't ! ( dropper posts that is ) Well mine don't My saddle bag has one of those loop thingies for the seat post an this affects the seal on the dropper. You need to find a neat small saddle bag that tucks right in without a loop around the seat post
