I'm finally heading toward having one good bag per bike, now that i'm making my own bags. Each bike has a core kit of 1-2 spare tubes, steelcore levers, glueless patch kit (got tired of finding dried-up cement), cell phone, and whatever pump fits the frame or bag. Commuting i'll add a lunch (usually in a tupperware container) and usually a musette or other bag in case i need to grab something from the store that doesn't fit in the bag. On longer rides i'll have up to 2 tubes plus mini chain tool and 3 spare links (mainly for the singlespeeds), spoke wrench and a shop rag. Non-bike stuff in there includes camera, maps (if needed), spare t-shirt or light jacket, gloves and snacks. If anything, i've learned that i tend to overpack, so i've been whittling down my load, especially for long day tours. The first century i did i probably brought 4 lbs of food with me, and still had about 3 by the end of the ride. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
