Nice video. I am surprised how almost no one has a first aid kit or "crash kit" in their bags. I went out riding and crashed. I almost broke a few ribs and was bleeding all over. The pain from the rib contusion lasted for 2 months. I sure wished I had something to stop bleeding and most importantly a few ibuprofens to stop the swelling and pain from my rib cage. I came home and prepared a crash kit for all my ride partners.
On my medium frame bikepacking bike, I run the Full Triangle bag. It is mostly filled with a 3 liter hydrations bag, tubes & dirty water bag. This means mounting water bottle cages on the fork legs. In the SW dry country I find a larger 2 liter gravity filter H2o system best for me. Many others do get by with the squeeze Sawer. Tip: if racing the AZTR or any multi-day ride in the desert, have enough water to walk out in case you break the bike beyond repair.
That’s a good tip with the 2032 battery. I started carrying a battery back up thing and a couple cables so I can charge my phone/light/ or bike computer if any of those die on the ride. May as well chuck in a 2032 battery Incase a sensor goes down too.
Usually a dozen eggs, my frame bag is the perfect size for a quick trip down to a road side farm stall that sells free range eggs. Though after the hassles of the bar bag today, it looks like I might use my frame bag to carry my drone.
Justin Bowes no, but I haven’t stuffed it to the max yet. Plus the grx cranks have a wider Q factor than the road stuff so that may help a bit as well. Also, I have been minding my thigh gap.
