Two years ago I started With MTB. Did not carry anything.
Ended up carrying the bike 5 km
There are re-release zip ties, they are multiple use and don't wear out as fast as velcro. You do, however, have do deal with the free end of the zip that is not wrapped around and holding something.
I use my military camelbak, tool, pump, tube, water, food, everything fits. I look at the weight of the extra water (my bladder carries about 4L) as training weight.
What shorts are those you are wearing? They look quality and a decent length. Thanks
Some mini pumps come with a mount that can be attached longside the bottlecage.
And remember: using ordinary zip ties to attach stuff to your frame, you'll also need to carry something to cut them (safely) … and don't you zip tie that to your frame too! XD
A drinkingbottel next to your spine yes thats a wonderfull idee, when crash with it. ….NOT.
It's always a backpack for me as I'm out over 5 hours…Tubes, toolkit, food, extra bottle, jacket etc all go in. I do have three different sized packs and use what suits for distance and time out on a ride, I used to use a bumbag and saddle pack back in the 1990's though….it worked then and would obviously work now….I'll have to dig them out of the ancient and retro spares box…Hmmm.
nice video
i've got a pump with holder which i mounted between the bottle cage and the frame. Also i taped an innertube between the bottlecage and the bottom bracket. works well. the pump got a lid to close the valve area, so that never has been a problem so far.
AHH the British that don't ride in 30-35+Deg C temperatures,
3 L of water is a little excessive but I have drunk 2 L in a a hours solid riding time (Strava). The extra .5-1L is great backup for mechanicals and even better insurance if you need to flush a graze/wound (admitly it's not sterilised but better than leaving dirt in there).
Anyway great video.
OneUp EDC multi tool fits in steer tube, holds everything but a tube and CO2 nozzle. Ironically holds CO2 lol.
I find wearing a pack makes me top heavy and too hot, end up drinking more water jus cause of it.
Ahahahahah just sold both my over priced bikes on pinkbike. Sold my gear in a garage sale. I just got rid of all this mtb bs. Cost is past what i consider acceptable. Im out the game. Good luck.
When a single crown 160 mm fork tops 1200 bucks. Theres a problem.
We now see dual crowns topping over 2000.00 theres a problem
When a frame with no shock or headset tops 3000.00 theres big problems.
2000 dollar wheelsets. And a regular house in cali sells for 8 million.
Nope nope and nope. Everything gotten a bit waky. Im sittin this shit out.
Not to mention salaries have been stagnant for 19 years straight. Ya ok.
There’s plenty of tools now that attach to you bike so that’s not a problem. Where do you recommend for putting your phone without a pack? I’ve been trying to get a solution so I can finally ditch my pack on short rides.
Sorry mate, go with the pro option, a front basket
SWAT. Big S
Good tip empty bladder and put in freezer against bacterial grown if you ride take 1 one hour before filling
Few days to my Spectral
Backpack all the way. It's light, and put all your gear and protects your back a bit in a crash.
You can make light not putting so much stuff there. Putting stuff on the bike i dont like because it ruins the the lightness and handling of the bike, in my opinion.
Great video guys!
Hello Kitty basket on my bike…
Carrying hard objets in rear pockets is a disaster waiting to happen. Sure gels, food, wallets etc… but anything that can cause back injury, especially spinal injuries if you crash should be avoided.
I swap between road and mountain bike daily so I have a topeak clip on saddle bag. I have the basics in there and it's only half full. Swap between two bikes super easy and no faffing. I also have a top tube bag that I keep all my food in so only in use on longer rides. Two bottle cages for hydration with 700ml bottles in them and job done. I could have one bag and one bottle but then the bag is packed full and I can possible run out of water as drink double what most people do.
The only downside is the seat bag has popped open a few times on rough stuff so I usually put food in there on longer MTB rides so I'm not losing expensive stuff. Just consumables.
I only ever wear a drawstring gym bag and that's to carry my full face attachment for my bell super 2r. Any type of bag on my back for over 20 mins gives me lower back pain so everything to avoid that
A EU size 40-ish black dress sock holds a 27.5 innertube, a multitool, quick links, a tire lever and probably some other useful bits and bobs in a really neat and stealthy package. Just saying.
What is your helmet?
On the ride I drink between 7 to 10 l of water. You see, some people use pedals not cars to get to the top of the mountain. And Ride, actually ride not only decent…
Wearing big tools at your back is insane dangerous for your spline in case of a crash!!!
Combat trousers, two huge pockets right where the cushioning is useful. Everything else you can join on in a small frame bag. Water in a bottle cage or on the back to work as a spine guard.
I see so many people riding with only a waterbottle. No kit nothing. Not sure why they risk it
What were the bontrager bib shorts called exactly??
Also a handlebar bag or frame bag if it fits are options too
I just use the good old prison pocket.
I've personally been using a camel back bum bag for the last 2 years and haven't thought about using a backpack since so much easier on your shoulders and is perfect for upto a 4 hour ride
Nice overview! 😀 OneUp components also make tools to be put into the headtube or the bottom bracket. A little too pricy fpr my taste. I landed up putting my tools (inkl co2, tire plug -for tubeless setup – and small replacement stuff) in a little pouch, strapped with a mütherload (velco strap) and carry my water in the very reliable fidlock magnetic bottle. Very neat and secure so far. An emergency kit and spare tube could also be strapped on the frame for longer trips or a Megavalanche day 😉
The pack is good insulation in winter.
I have taped a water bottle to my frame before and also I bring a spare derailleur on my bag if I bring a bag
1:25 yesterday! Though, it was an hour and a half.
Tire leavers and spare tied to frame using a piece of old inner tube. Tubeless patch kit inside handlebar end plug. Little pump below water cage (or in back pack if too muddy), multitool and phone in shorts pockets. Water in water bottle or if longer than 10km back pack.
I wrap my spare tube around my front hub and zip tie it in place. Never even know it is there. Takes about 10 mins to install and probably the same to get it out but works great.
what about a trailer?
