On Bike storage...

One UP EDC 100cc pump with a Jank dart tool for me. I went this direction because its super easy to swap between bikes.

 

I read the thread title and was expecting a philosophical essay about how, when and where to store one's bike.

I just use my scrotum bag to hold the tube, tire lever, zip ties, multi-tool and maybe my car key.

The water bottle(s) go in the cages on the frame.

 

You have the one up multi tool in the pump too?
I've looked at that, but have pumps, co2, multi tools etc...and was thinking if it was worth it to change as I've accumulated a lot of chit.


And @Runs with Scissors I had a seat bag and liked it, but the tire rubbed a hole in it, and now I see so did the seat tube. So have to change .

 

Yeah I run the multi tool in the pump, the Jank dart tool screws into the C02 thread, I leave it permanently screwed in so its ready to go if I puncture. I also could use the large canister to carry more if I wanted but don't feel the need. The stans darts are stuffed in the top section with the multi tool, theres a little space they fit nicely into. Thats plenty for short rides, if I go further afield then I carry a hip pack which has an extra water bottle, tube, zip ties etc. I don't bother with C02 cartridges. Next time we catch up for a ride I'll show you, its a very elegant solution.
The one up bracket mounts the pump off to the side of your water bottle bosses, Jank make a mount to put it inline if you want (and have space), it looks really clean, I was considering it but then wouldn't have room for a water bottle as well.

 

@Runs with Scissors has never dropped his seat down in his life, and his frame does not articulate towards his tire, so he will never rub a hole in a seat bag. He also never actually goes down hill! Where Mark rides, it's uphill both ways!

 

In the snow!!!

 

Barefoot!

 

I've been mulling over all this info on what to use in order to get the pack off my back for the shorter rides ( which is most of them) and have the multi tool, chain tool and pump available. After checking out @Lost Kiwi OneUp edc tool and pump combo I've been thinking that it pretty much solves the problem, and as he said quite elegantly too.

So yesterday I pulled the trigger and ordered the EDC tool and 100cc pump on world wide cyclery with a discount coupon and free shipping to boot.

Didn't order the plug tool as have the Stan's dart and Simon showed me he has his elegantly part of the tool. So guess what, you get to show me how you did it!

With bikes getting better and more reliable, the tools don't get used near as much as they used to. Almost seems unnecessary to have them, but just in case it will be there...

With this addition I'll have a good smattering of OneUp goodies on the bike.

 

I got this https://jankcomponents.com/products/love-dart-edc-pump-stans-dart-add-on but you can also machine down the stans dart and slot it in the storage container. I've got a messed up dart tool we can have a play with in the shed. When you're no longer diseased come up for a beer and we can point at things, hit stuff with a hammer and pretend we know stuff.

 

Pointing and pretending I know stuff, I'm a pro at that. So yeah, once I'm no longer typhoid Mary I'll bring the beer and see it we can make it work.

 

The OneUp pump and tool are the best I've ever used, and I have a drawer full of pumps and multitools.
