How do you always have:tube, tools, and pump with your bike?

[Andy Torbay]

I always wear 'roadie-type' jerseys with 3 rear pockets. They can take pump, tube, levers, multi-tool, snacks . . . but I do have bottle on the frame.

Have you never done an involuntary dismount and landed on your back with that lot in?

I have access to drinking water out on my local trails so I never bring water. I use the Specialized KEG and keep a Tube, CO2, Tire Lever, Plug Kit, Valve Stem Remover and Tire Boots. Also have a multi-tool in the headset.

Same here works great!!!!!

In case you dont you use a drinking bottle:
First Aid Kit BIKE

 

[Levo Laland]

Small pump, chain link, tubless repair kit, tubless valve, chain tool all carried in Jersey pockets at the moment as preferring to ride without a pack.

I'm using the Dakine Hot Laps Gripper to carry the spare tube, chain break, and tire levers. Fits nicely above the shock. Still have room for a bottle. I just need to find a pump to fit on the bottle cage mounts and not be in the way for pedaling. (Any ideas? I have had a LBS, try to mount the Specialized and other pumps, but none fit on the Turbo Levo with the supplied mounting hardware.)

Hot laps gripper as above. I always ride with an Evoc waist pack with first aid kit, spray plaster, Israeli compression first field dressing, phone battery, piece of card in a plastic bag and a Sharpie, emergency foil blanket. I've twice found a casualty and this is essential stuff. And a tick remover.

Foil blanket is a great idea! I’ve waited for mountain rescue with a couple of guys over the years. As amazing as MR are they can take a very long time to rock up. Last time I was left with no jacket for over two hours. Amazing how cold you can get as the shadows lengthen in the woods and activity is reduced. Casualty was still shaking like a shitting whippet, presumably shock.

to answer the post, most of my emergency tackle is in my down tube above the battery. Great feature on the 17/18 bikes.

I also have a foil jacket, pack is 1/2 the size of an envelope.

Your Hotlaps bag has 2x dedicated C02 compartments.
2x C02 carts with the valve head screwed onto on one of them fits nicely. (just don't screw the head on right up to the point it punctures/opens the cart)

One of these.

Ace! Another total boy scout like myself! I thought I might be alone in carrying an Israeli bandage. Not yet used, but it's a very reassuring piece of kit.

Can I ask, why the card + Sharpie?

Personally, something else I'd highly recommend is one or two disposable ponchos.

Dropper works fine

how in the world do you ride like that? first 5 min in my trails and the bag would be torn off

 

[Deleted member 4988]

Wolftooth Strap secures the tube/Co2 and spare mech hanger, and a OneUp pump and toolkit with a few spares

 

[miPbiP]

Small bum bag for local rides. Pump, multitool, couple of levers, lightweight shell, phone. Don't carry a tube any more, don't recall last time I needed one. If I do I'll scrounge one or walk home. No biggie.

That's pretty much it.

Ride light.

 

[Paceman]

EVOC FR Backpack ...it carries all I need no matter how long the ride, and has a built-in back protector which I like.

Emergency services will want name, DOB of casualty, location and RV. Best to write it all down especially if you have to move to get a signal.

Not yet, I don't really use it that much, though. I'll post here if it happens!
