Dr. Nick Riviera Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 phone and camera. maybe money depending on where i'm going.if i travel i take a bag full of whatever seems relevant at the time.iirc steve spurgeon takes shedloads of spares with him on rides ( look for the old topic ) it would rival an sas survival kit.

Alun Goch Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Good topic,I usually hate riding with anything on my back or in my pockets, as it distracts me, so I normally dont take anything, only cash if needs be, Im bad for the munchies.Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Usually just my phone, unless something's acting up on my bike in which case I'll take whatever I need (usually a cunting 8 mil...). I've got a little Specialized EMT tool, so that'll often come out, just 'cos it's dinky. If it's a longer ride, just stuff to tighten stuff mostly, so just allen keys, spanner, obligatory tubes and pump, etc. However, whenever I take - say - 2 tubes with me and someone says "Got a puncture repair kit too?" I used to just go "Nah, two tubes will be enough." Then, I went on my trip to Bristol, got a puncture in the car, put a fresh tube in and tore the valve off, then raped another tube, and then had to repair-kit my other tube. All the fun of the fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I don't see how you can take so much stuff riding with you though . Even if I go on a big ride all I take is a spare innertube, some allen keys, money and a spanner for my and chain tugs. I've got a little Specialized EMT tool, so that'll often come out, just 'cos it's dinky. I have mine for about 3 years now and it's still not died or rounded off, It was a bit of a rip at £20 though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah, you got raped. I think mine had an RRP of about £11.99, then take off 33% Ching ching, toolage for Marky. Unfortunately, in that time, I've also lost everything from my Cool-Tool except for the main spanner body, and 2 seperate Park Tools, probably around 18 chain tools (killed another one today), and God knows how many 5mm allen keys. Oh, and about 198 blocks of tar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
