gummibear Posted May 12, 2016 Share Must admit I like Josh Carlson's Enduro Bag... http://p.vitalmtb.com/photos/users/2/photos/103175/s1600_EWSChile16_26A9192.jpg?1458873291The more space you have the more unnecessary crap you can carry around=more weight. Seen quite a few of those on the trails Edited May 12, 2016 by gummibear Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a saddle bag, MTB only but I'm sure if I did the road thing I would use the same. Rather have a few show ponies laugh at my saddle bag than everyone laugh at me walking home.

Headshot Posted May 12, 2016 Share I have a love hate relationship with my Dakine back pack. The bladder just failed at the point the hose joins the bladder so last ride I stuck a 600mm bottle in my jersey pocket and left all my tools and *** behind. It was a great ride - no sweaty hot bag on my back and I felt much faster on the hills :-) Its easy to make up a thick ziplock bag with all the essentials in it and use that but I don't always ride with a pocketed jersey. That #enduro bag actually looks pretty decent - where can they be bought? Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakAttak Posted May 12, 2016 Share Spare tube rolled up and taped to the frame under the bottle cage.Pump and tool bag in my pocket(Although, to be honest, i reckon my roadie pocket pump is a bit pansy for trailside use) That Squirt Lube is a load of K@K... It gunks up on your chain, derailleurs, Crank Blades, practically everywhere... Or maybe I just ride too litlle... I prefer, White Lightining or Rock 'n Roll either one... Much cleaner, better lasting... Mousea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plentipotential Posted May 12, 2016 Share Specialized has this Bandit saddle thingie, but it requires one of their SWAT compatible saddles because it screws into the underside. http://14761-presscdn-0-15.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Aneeke-Beerten-06381-810x540.jpg I'm sure that the bomb and levers will eventually fall out and then the loose tube will rub it's self a hole on the saddle. Alternatively when you need to use your spares you will first need to wash them cos they gonna be covered in mud! But hey, it looks good and has the right name, right?

That #enduro bag actually looks pretty decent - where can they be bought?I was thinking of going to the fabric warehouse and getting some canvas to make my own. That, or re-purpose an old neoprene laptop sleeve I have lying at home... Haven't been able to find it online through a good search though. I think it's a custom job, and I *think* that Josh's nick is "the frother"... hence the tag. Best of the lot though, IMO Edited May 12, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robodog Posted May 12, 2016 Share When on road bike the few things you need fit into jersey. On MTB use hydration pack. I also have droppers on all my bikes. You guys keep using saddle bags and distributing your spares to all and sundry (some wet zips don't stay closed). On the Spruit a lot gets handed to me. I have a number of very expensive coded car keys here. In the beginning I used to post on FB and the Hub every time. Now I just collect them.
