Gen Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 On a roadbike, its just a No, No, No, No ! I usually say no to mountainbikes as well, but someone with a fugly saddlebag saved my ass today when I need a bomb after burping my tyre. Five kays later and I have a lengh of fishing line wrapped around my jockey wheel so I broke my chain to get all the gut out. I like an idiot, dropped my quick link in the dirt and lost it and Mr. Fugly saddlebag rescued my ass again. He had a spare. On the day I forget all my spares the cycling gods have humbled me. So where do you keep your RB spares.? All these rules[emoji6]
BernardG Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Never liked a scrotum under my saddle If Sagan uses one, I'll go there........ You will have to start saving for one then. http://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/Sagans-winter-training-begins-in-Belgium-Sagan-Twitter.jpg

eccc whippet Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Who needs a saddle bag? There will always be some fool who carries a saddle bag with spares...or uber to get you home...much easier to carry just a phone and credit card.

ZakAttak Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 never realised how much broken glass is on our roads..all bad.. This, it's quite bad out there... Had to fix 2 tubes on 1 day, before my ride (rear wheel) later that evening after admiring my bike (front wheel)...

Had to fix 2 tubes on 1 day, before my ride (rear wheel) later that evening after admiring my bike (front wheel)...I believe that companies who supply product in glass...should be responsible for the disposal or recycling of their glass bottle...a deposit should be offered...it is the only way to stop drunks throwing the bottle on the road. When have ever seen a broken quart bottle on the road?

Bateleur1 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Was never bothered about any rules wrt saddle bags. In SA I always had one and it was of great use many many times. However my trusty saddlebag has been retrenched here in Germany. Replaced it with a "tool box" that fits into the bottle cage. In Europe the next town is not far away so running out of liquid is not a problem. Just take some cash with you.
Sepia Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Try chains from Kiwi on the Hub. Reasonably priced too and out of this world service.Have done 7000 kms on a chain albeit be it 9sp.
