I mean a pressure washer, waterproof gore tex jacket, a poncho robe, lunch box, computer, padded shorts, tire plugs, and a pressure Guage are all great I guess.but I think mud guards, rechargeable lights, a helmet, dropper post and thinsulate gloves are more important

My bike has two bottle cages, one for water and one for my tool bottle, which is more than adequate for shorter rides instead of taking my backpack.

I like the IKEA bag idea, way cheaper than a bike branded one. My favorite one is the power washer. Sometimes it’s hard to find a car wash after a muddy tide.

I'm using a cheaper alternative to Garmin, it is from Lezyne and does the same job. They don't have fancy colour touch screens, but they are built to ride to hell, with a sturdier mount than Garmin, as they say. They sync with Strava and Komoot as well. Since my bike is my only vehicle, I also use powerful lights from Lezyne, here again nothing better.

@BoomPFI 25 күн бұрын

I think the ‘changing robe’ seems like a very UK specific gadget. I wasn’t even aware of their existence! :D Here in Northern Europe especially we are not prude at all and we frankly do not care about some bare skin. Out on the trails, you see hikers and cyclists change clothes all the time. Nice video though! Love the channel! Also, portable pressure washer for the win! Especially when you live in an apartment.

@grahamcheesman9035 25 күн бұрын

The 'changing robe' comes from surfing and it's proper name is a hooded towel, it is designed so that we surfers can take off our wetsuit without fully exposing ourselves in the carpark, then dry with the hooded towel on, throw on a pair of shorts and take it off. Or alternately wear it in the car on the drive home

@BoomPFI 24 күн бұрын

Cool! Thanks for the elaboration. Wasn’t aware of that. Not much surfing going on here in Finland 😅

@davehumpleby3440 11 күн бұрын

I rock a budget towelling robe and IKEA bag also. Cheap as chips and they do the exact same job as the expensive stuff. A word of warning... not all filters are equal or able to make all water sources safe to drink. It would be prudent to advise viewers to do their research.

@JeffMTBinVA 25 күн бұрын

@Anna, which version of the Chase vest do you prefer? For others that mentioned pressure gauges. I tried the topeak but now only use it for fork and shock. The SKS air checker is my go to for tires.

@mtbboy1993 16 күн бұрын

5:54 I thought bibs meant it had straps. So it's the first time hearing of strapless bibs. As suspected I was right. This is what merriam-webster dictionary says: bib shorts plural noun : an article of clothing worn chiefly by bicyclists which consists of tight-fitting shorts that extend upwards on the torso and two straps that pass over the shoulders

@GarthFlint-nc2vj 24 күн бұрын

Buy a nice small Lezyne pump with a built in gauge and test the accuracy with a digital gauge. Then leave the digital gauge in the tool box. Finding good padded shorts is becoming a challenge. My best shorts are a pair of 30 year old Cannondale shorts (Cannondale used to sell only the best quality bike clothing). The pad in these shorts is an artificial chamois that never gets wet from sweat. Thick, soft pads in shorts are terrible. I always wear a hydration pack for any ride longer than an hour. Pump, tools, spare tube, ultra light jacket, food, water, ibuprofen, toilet paper, flexible bandage wrap, spare AXS battery, and what the weather may require. I hate riding with people that show up for a 4 hour ride with just a water bottle. They end up borrowing my stuff to get home. I think the only thing in that pack I have not used is that spare battery. Once on my back the weight is not noticeable. The sweat on a hot day is, but it is what it is.

@MrGnougat 23 күн бұрын

Sqlab makes a GREAT chamois. Expensive, but fantastic

@GarthFlint-nc2vj 23 күн бұрын

Thanks. I will take a look. My favorite Cannondale shorts were $80 in the mid '90s. An insane price.. 30 years of wear out of them and still working. $80 was a great deal!

They don't pack anything because they know you will have everything packed for them already. I always used to be the guy that carried everything but now I quit and hope other people like you come riding with me :)

You guys should have a "Budget Tips" section in some of your videos or do Budget Videos for riders on budgets to help save money, find solutions for problems, find tools at cheaper costs like a list of good tools on Amazon, what kind of maintenance prevent early wear on bike parts, cheap tires reviews, cheap forks reviews, cheap bikes reviews, which cheap bikes can be upgraded,...also nothing about children bikes online, which brands are available, when to change bike sizes,...I can keep going for a wild 😂

@davidpottage6402 25 күн бұрын

I don't see the point of a separate tire pressure gauge. What would you do if you read the pressure and it is wrong? Much simpler to just buy a track pump with a gauge on it. The other suggestions make sense, though I would not skimp on a changing robe. If the weather is reasonably warm and dry, you just drive home in your cycling clothes. If it is wet and horrible, then you need to change, and in those conditions, I would want a changing robe that is as warm and waterproof as possible!

@45graham45 25 күн бұрын

I've got 2 of those Topeak digital pressure gauges. I went back to the old fashioned analogue gauge because the digital ones were simply random number generators & so are useless.
