Yes, it is more often the case that I use my kit to help somebody else who hasn't been as diligent about maintaining their bike. My current kit really weighs very little in the end and if I can help somebody else avoid having to call in evac then it's worth it. Up until quite recently, I carried the same kit you describe, right down to the Ritchey CPR tool and it was all I really needed for road riding. Now doing mixed terrain rides, the likelihood of something going wrong (particularly with tires) increases a bit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
