What do you always carry on you bike, and how?
I always have some tools (hex keys and tyre levers), a spare tyre TPU tube, tubeless plugs, a tracker, and a CO2 pump, on my bike no matter what. That is my baseline, and something that can get me home through most common technical problems.
Food is stored in my jersey, and bottles in the bottle cages. Those works well for me. But my saddlebag which I use for the ‘always’ stuff is pretty annoying. It’s a large bag, one room opened from behind where everything rattles about. It’s not optimal, it doesn’t look cool (and thus gives me a 10W penalty), and I can never find stuff in it anyways.
So my question to you is, what do you carry in your “always” kit? And how do you carry it? Can you suggest something I’m not carrying that might be an idea, and maybe a better way to carry it all?
