Patchelicious Posted December 13, 2017 Share but then you have to delete your ride, that means no kudos, what's the point of life after that.No you don’t, just be cool and use the cropping tool. karma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolspin Posted December 14, 2017 Share Can we wrap this up please? Ftiday is coming and we have to discuss the 'pomp' thing. Maybe someone who carries a saddle bag should start a thread on what size bag to carry, what to carry, and excuses for carrying it.Dont need a new thread, plenty of excuses right here.

Coolspin Posted December 14, 2017 Share It will need to match your saddle colour, which needs to match your bar tape, which needs to match your shoes, which needs to match your socks, which should preferably match your helmet. Thank goodness, some people are beginning to get this! Patchelicious, Long Wheel Base and Farrnus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolspin Posted December 14, 2017 Share This attempt at a Friday thread is lamer than the saddlebags themselves.You mean this Friday thread Patch? Who knew the ball baggie was such an emotive issue? Wowsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted December 14, 2017 Share There will always be that other under cover mtb that brings a trunk full of spares, just use his if you puncture. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr lee Posted December 14, 2017 Share Ok so on the topic of scrotum....a saddle bag is cool as long as it is not overly huge and flapping around like a bull's happy ball sack on his way to mount a fair cow . Like everything else there are a few do's and don'ts!Select the appropriate size for your bike and needs and mount it securely so it does not sway around and make hideous noises as it bangs everything around it... the mounting straps will also start to rub the paint and/or carbon if not tight!Make sure that the contents are tightly packed too so your tool and tyre levers don't rattle and potentially cut into your spare tube.

eddy Posted December 14, 2017 Share LARGE bag, with zip to extend it to be even larger .... 29'' tube20'' tubetire leversgas bombsgas bomb adaptorspare valve inserts (after helping somebody whose valve insert got clogged...)valve insert toolchain quick link x2 (for my bike and for Maritz' bike)multi-tool also a small pump on the bike Then a full tool kit with lots more extra stuff in the car. I DONT like riding without the saddle bag .... feel too exposed ..... And yet I dont take a cell phone along .... I always run like this on my morning 30 km Spruit ride but from your list I seem to have left some stuff out. From tomorrow I will additionally pack a small Camelbak to carry the excess.

scotty Posted December 14, 2017 Share The day I start worrying what others think of my unshaven legs, saddle bag and what socks I'm wearing is the day i realize cyclists are a bunch fashion prima donna's. If it offends you then either overtake or fall back. DJR, ChrisF, Halfdoesyn and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
