ETV Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 If you have still not bought the bike by 7am tomorrow, you might as well just keep riding what you have. You clearly don’t actually want a new bike its too late... old bike has been sold!!! new one has to come, pulled the plug today...lets see what arrives...

ETV Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 Stunning!!! Now get rid of that saddlebag And I hate to point this out, but it looks like you got a kid as part of the deal too!Kid was on the couch until i got THREATENED... 'couch pic or it didnt happen'... Got discount on the bike... Kid still costs me more what do you do/use or how do you carry spares without saddle bag???
Grease_Monkey Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 it happenedMany happy miles man, she is purty! Agree, get rid of that saddle bag - it will mean you can't use your dropper to it's full drop. You can use a combination of new tools that go in front wheel axle, in your fork steerer, or attached to bottle cage. For the tube and tyre levers you can use a strap to the frame. And then, the easiest is of course a hydration pack. I'll post the link to a Seth's Bike Hacks video now that has some cool solutions for going saddle bag and hydration pack - less.

ChrisF Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 ... what do you do/use or how do you carry spares without saddle bag??? dont worry ... next "they" will dictate the length of your socks .... sadly the bag will have a slight impact on the dropper post. you would have to test to see if this is an issue for YOU. OTHER OPTIONS -- use the bottom bottle bracket for a "water bottle" shaped tools container- spend silly amounts of money to look cool without a saddle bag .....- be your own person and do what works for YOU .... Saddle bags ROCK !!
ETV Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 for now it will have to work as i dont have any alternatives. vid looks cool with all those gadgets but time will tell. What all do you carry with you then?? all that guy was short of was a dishwasher and sunlight soap... My thinking is 2 bombstubelss repair kitand maybe a spare tube...and i quite like that spez chain fixer that goes in the top by the handle bars... as you can see jargon is not my thing
ChrisF Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 there was a nice thread about spare tools recently ... darned if I can find the link now ....
King_Crispy Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Stunning!!! Now get rid of that saddlebag And I hate to point this out, but it looks like you got a kid as part of the deal too!At least it wasn't bar-ends.A kid can be explained away ...
Wet Ears Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Very very nice, congrats, hope you have many happy miles on it!
