What do you carry with you on your rides? How do you store your essentials? Let us know!

Specialized Stumpjumper has a Swat door in the frame. Lots of space.

I use the comon camelback for water, pump air, a spare tube, multi tool set, and fruit storage for my morning or afternoon rides. No bother at all.

[wabidabidoo]

I bought my Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp Carbon 2017 specifically for the SWAT. It means that I can fit pump, spare inner tube, tire lever, multi tool, first aid, asthma inhaler and some candy bars inside the frame which is all I need for casual rides. So nice not having stuffed pockets.

[mustardgas]

I don't even race professionally, I don't even know why I'm watching this lol

[celticfrost]

I have two water bottle holders. One for drinks and the other i use to carry most of my tools, in an empty water bottle. Works fine on long rides.

[LUMAL]

I use a water bottle cage and throw in a sunglasses case in the cage; it’s tight and doesn’t budge . You can get 2 co2 canisters, tire levers, a multitool and a few zip ties in there and maybe a few more items. It works and those are items that many have laying around. I doesn’t look cool but it works!

[headoverbars]

Neil's bikes that he races videos are the best

[jonathantang]

That's the seawall! Where can i see the GMBN Team? I live in Vancouver.

[paulstuart]

That tire pressure would have sapped your energy levels. Nice tips though, thanks. I use a custom flat pack hip pack. Swivel it around and select my tools like a mechanic apron lol. Excludes pump and tire.

[arisjatmika]

if someday you guys visit Jakarta Indonesia 🇮🇩 ... would love to see you then

☺️☺️💐💐

I use Schwalbe Evo Aerothan Innertube as a back up you could carry 2 for the weight of in normal innertube.

[JacobMRider]

Callback for water with a small pouch with basic individual first aid kit. Storage in downtube bottle carrier for spare tube, c02 and tool.

Also when is GMBN touring Australia

[Nelneln]

i want that velcro strap, its looks cool.

[danw]

whats the name/ model of those Velcro Straps? Does someone know?

[jussa]

Omg I wish I had known you were in Vancouver missed my chance to say hi and get a photo.

[MarkoPetejan]

Can anyone explain to me why 2 spare inner tubes (why only 1 is "a risk")? Got a new bike and they gave me also 2 tubes. But I drive my car with 1 spare tire, not 4. So why then 2 tubes?

[canmtb]

Canyon Lux is the best XC bike ever. Mathieu van der poel & PFP riding on it !

[keeganfuller]

That helped heaps good job loved it👍😄😁

[justinclark]

Please help!! I am new to mountain biking. Why don’t some riders want to carry a small pack? Loading up a trail bike with weight doesn’t make sense to me. It would be harder to manipulate during technical portions. And you can be very prepared without going to crazy.
