Cycling Commuter Survival Bag
What's the minimum equipment you take on the bike for the commute? I have a long commute and was about 8 miles from home and saw a flash just before I heard the loud pssssssssssss. I had hit a piece of glass that sliced the tire half way through so that when I tried to inflate the tire a bit of the tube would stick out of the slice made from the glass.:( I took a couple of bucks folded to make a sleeve and line the inside of tire to protect and to keep the tube inside the tire. Limped my way home. This has happen a couple of times so I make it a habit of carry the following in a seat pouch.
1 spare tube 1 set of patches set of tire levers 3 CO2 cartages CO2 tire inflator Alan keys Chain tool. Cell phone- won't leave home without it. 10 bucks in varying denominations. Zip lock baggie for cell phone This has been enough to only leave me stranded once when I had multiple punctures. |
Is the advantage to having co2 over a pump strapped to one of the tubes just weight?

How much is a co2 setup? Pictures of the size of your bag? I might need to get a bigger one if I start doing hardcore commuting (meaning if I find myself a commute, :))
Also, what kinda bike? Post up your stable! :thumbup: |

Co2 inflator. Bike is like this one except black |
I've heard about that bike, but not too much. You should definately post up a review at somepoint, :). I like it, like it. Do you have that velomax wheelset?
Thanks for the air links! Wish I hadn't just placed my second near-to-another order with nashbar. I'll get one after my first bad experience, :) |

Ah, cool cool. I don't know why I need a different wheelset, I guess to be a weight weenie and to look better, mehbe when I start racing I'll look at building my own, :)
