Carrying Tools

Clever Pun

At the moment I carry some tyre irons, innertube combi tool etc in a saddle bag, I recently got a carbon fibre seat post... it's very pretty and I want to keep it that way, does any one have any suggestions about different bike attachments that means I don't have to put more weight on my back

thanks

I can fit all my puncture gear in a drinks bottle if you actually use your drinks bottle fit a second cage and bottle if your bike has the mounts.

I use a saddle bag on my carbon seatpost - it's fine.

Take off the nice carbon seat post and put it in a glass box to be admired for all time, then get that seat post/track pump combination.

Electrical tape - just where the saddle bag wraps around the post.

Sod's law dictates that the day you go out without a tube/multitool is the day that you have to fix a routine mechanical.

Personally, I cycle with a Brompton in a backpack, just to be sure.
