MildlyWild Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 saddle bags are for mud bunnys on mtb's ... on the road you use this : ballistic nylon pouch which fits perfectly in middle jersey pocket (and its areo)contains:2 bombsspare tubecombo multitool and inflator2 tyre leverscouple of q linkscable tiespatchesmoneyEMC card and a number 2 bandage (for that bad day ) and its all padded so nothing prods you Just dont forget your suspenders to keep your jersey from dragging on the rear wheel, especially after adding a cellphone, 2 energy bars and a pepper spray into the other pockets...

MildlyWild Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 A man gets hungry when you run out at 5am for a 5hr ride :-)It also helps with the boredom of spinning along mind numbingly on a road bike, with some rider input needed about every 10minutes
Long Wheel Base Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 What's a saddle bag? Are they hanging up at the LBS next to these camelback things I have heard of before? Sent from my LG-H735 using Tapatalk
bikebloke Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 A man gets hungry when you run out at 5am for a 5hr ride :-) that's when you stop and pose in your uber cool outfit beside your beautiful clean bike at a trendy café on the side of the road and nibble on frappe without a saddle bag
MildlyWild Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 that's when you stop and pose in your uber cool outfit beside your beautiful clean bike at a trendy café on the side of the road and nibble on frappe without a saddle bag Uber cool outfit and beautiful clean bike I dont fit into those descriptions. More like dirt bag. Fast dirt bag.
Stretch Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 On a mountain bike....I see no problem whatsoever... And actually I don't really care if it's cool or not... It's saved mine and fellow riders bacon a number of times
blondeonabike Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 It also helps with the boredom of spinning along mind numbingly on a road bike, with some rider input needed about every 10minutesIf roadbiking makes your mind numb you doing it wrong. Its your legs and backside that should be numb. You need to go faster
Wolf Lyle Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 On a mountain bike....I see no problem whatsoever... And actually I don't really care if it's cool or not... It's saved mine and fellow riders bacon a number of timesI feel the complete opposite .. My MTB's are clear of all clutter , no saddle bags , bottle cages or anything else .. Saddle bags on an mtb are just impractical as they fall off and rattle etc.. (not to mention look terrible ) everything lives in the camel back.. Road bike how ever has 2 cages, battery pack for front light (in winter) and saddle bag ( I've tried putting spares in my pockets , was so uncomfortable I didn't even leave the house - straight back to the saddle bag).. I guess my priorities fall with MTB , couldn't care less about how I look on the road.. plus ill take comfort over looks
Stretch Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 everything lives in the camel back.. See now I would rather take the weight off my body and or it on my bike.. I reckon You will also climb much easier if the weight is on your bike as opposed to your body.. On my body I have a gu and an Apple and/or some nuts or biltong if it is a longer ride

Landing on your back in an accident or a slip is a reasonable risk and putting something hard and small on your spine is not a great idea. Back in the day we used to teach that you should not use a small of back holster for a handgun for the same reason.
