davetapson Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Saw a comment in a post earlier on today saying that one of biggest problems in the Epic is people overloading their camelbak... This is what I'm considering carrying on the Sani2C - anybody got any (useful ) comments? Multitool (with tyre levers and chain tool)<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Tubeless repair kitInflator + two bombsPumpTwo tubes (slimed)Patch kitDropoutDogbone (both bikes are iDrives)Chain pinsDuct tapeZip tiesWet and dry lube I suppse if it's looking wet, a windcheater type thing as well, as well as suntan spray and some form of ass sports lube (bluesteel or something)... Are two tubes overkill? Should we split stuff up between us e.g. one multitool, one dropout, etc..?
NotSoBigBen Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I would for sure split the tools amongst the 2 of you. We did that at SabieX. Doesn't make a huge difference but doesn't make sense both carry multitools, pumps, lube, duct tape, patch kit etc. BigBen2009-02-09 06:13:59
Mark Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Would split the load amongst the two of you. Just make sure you have the light stuff and your partner has the heavy stuff. If youy are running tubeless two tubes to many (says he that had four punctures on Day 2 Sani)
Dirtbreath Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 You will definitely need a cooler box. I would also put in a set of brake pads. Wet and dry lube is an overkill. Take one. If your bikes are the same just take one dropout.
wackwack Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 i would be self suffient in terms of anything punture related. I'd share a multi-tool & take one lube whilst riding.
Thug Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I know what I'll be carrying... zip / nada / zilch What will my partner be carrying...... everything
davetapson Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Wet and dry lube is an overkill. Take one. I suggested this 'cos I never carry any lube (lube up well with squirt before the race) and always kick myself when I'm slogging thru' mud, chainsucking like hell, wishing I had some wet lube...
wackwack Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 i'm gonna carry everything that my partner & I need. My partner is gonna carry me!
Wazza Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 i'm gonna carry everything that my partner & I need. My partner is gonna carry me! Carry your ass? You gonna be doing all the towing and pushing! wait, that sounds too bad, I don't want to give you any ideas, seeing we spooning in a tent together.
Wazza Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Do you have to carry your own energy bars and food or is there enough food on the race?
gasant112 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 That seems like allot of goodies...Why does the pro's pockets looks so empty...
Thug Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Do you have to carry your own energy bars and food or is there enough food on the race? Nope, there is more than enough food at the various refreshment tables.

[/quote'] What types of food do they have, and what can you expect for breakfast and dinner?
Cranky Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Food at water points last year included hot chips, fruit, buns, burgers, and more. You'll need to carry GUs if you use them . I carried a small pack of energy drink powder, which I mixed about half distance at a water point. Meals at breakfast and dinner were awesome (lunch too). Lots to choose from and really tasty. No queues. There's no need to bring anything extra. We also had a big supply of milk products from Clover and tankers with drinking water.
linnega Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 If you don't usually use gel or energy bars leave them behind. There is plenty to eat and drink at the tables - even a Nando's burger half way through day 2. At camp food is more than adequate for stuffing your face. Bring lots of duct tape - you can never have too much.
