Roguemeister Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Why carry co2 canisters if you're carrying a pump?
wessie12 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I only carry a small pouch with co2 igniter, multi tool with chain breaker, link and plugs with a plug tool. I have done a lot of endurance rides the last 2 years (160km + ) rides. No spare tube. I do however top up sealant regularly and and always make sure tires is in a good condition. My rides consists of gravel roads and rocky jeep tracks typically of the Overberg.
BenReaper Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Why carry co2 canisters if you're carrying a pump?If you get a flat and the tyre gets of the bead of the rim 9 out of 10 times you won't be able to seat the tyre on the rim again with a minipump, therefore the co2 canisters.If you are lucky enough to get multiple flats your average 2x co2 canisters carried with might not be able to get you home, hence the minipump.Alternatively you could carry nothing like a weight weenie and bum spares along the way but I personally hate asking anyone for help.
Vetseun Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Plug and a bomb.Anything worse that that happens, phone for a lift home.

Only the spare tube goes in the middle back pocket of my shirt, use to have it taped to my seatpost until I got a dropper. Just realized now I don't have a spare link in there anymore.
BenReaper Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Plug and a bomb.Anything worse that that happens, phone for a lift home.Some of the places where I go riding there is often no cellphone signal and some of these places don't really have access for vehicles, except maybe a helicopter. This has left me with a 4-5km hike-a-bike more than once in the past.
KingZA Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 MTB I'll normally have the following:1 x 25g CO2 CanisterCO2 InflatorSpare TubeQuick LinkTiny Set of Hex KeysTyre LeaversI should probably ditch the tyre leavers and tube for a plug kit. Road will usually be:Mini PumpSpare TubeSelf Adhesive PatchesQuick LinkTyre Leavers
Jehosefat Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 For MTB:Spare tube2x 25g CO2 cannistersCO2 inflatorPlug kitTyre leversTyre bootMulti-tool with chain breakerQuick linkQuick-link pliersLeathermanSpare valveGear cableBunch of cable tiesIf I'm riding somewhere remote I'll add a small tube of sealant and some spokes as well.All goes in a tool pouch in my Camelbak. I've only every used the multi-tool and the leatherman on a ride and the plug kit once I've got home and found a big thorn still in the tyre. I carry a bit less on the road bike:2x spare tubes2x 16g CO2 cannistersCO2 inflatorTyre leversTyre bootMulti-toolChain breakerQuick linkUsed the spare tubes (and associated tube replacement bits) a few times because my old back tyre (Mavic Yksion Pro Powerlink) was made of cheese (3 punctures in about 800km).

Eddy Gordo Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 On my commute to work just a pump.On the trail, i i use my bag, then its a pump, patches, tubeless repair and ,mutlitool, otherwise no items when the bag gets left behind.
Martin PJ Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I found if you attached the pump to the MTB as in the picture it gets destroyed by dust and dirt. If I have a pump I keep it in my jersey pocket.
