I just want you to know Mike, that I truly appreciate the increase in comedic value of the videos recently.
Increase? I don't know, Mike's always been endearingly unprofessional.
The Boston Cream Donut 🤣🤣
Get your mates to carry it on their bag when they ride with you.
“Shit, I forgot my bag, can you put it in yours?”
Pinkbike merchandise idea: tire levers with Mike Levy’s face on them - Tire Levys
This is a very, very good idea.
This is my favourite comment of all time- well done mate
YOU ARE CLEARLY ENLIGHTENED
When is the video of the Grim Donut coming ??? So curious for it!
Ayide Koza still waiting
@@lukefarrell117 Still am !! Will wait till eternity! 😂
I was more interested in him talking about what the heck is actually on his bike
It's a 2002 Brodie 8-Ball www.pinkbike.com/news/bike-check-brodies-2002-8-ball-incremental-improvement.html
wahahaa i cracked when " If you wanna go to homeless and practical look"
Hip-pack with:
- toppeak multi-tool
- lightweight tubolito tube
- tiny tire plug and 2x plugs
- 1x park tool tire patch
- 2x tubolito patches (double backup for backup)
- Powerlink
- couple zip ties
- topeak handpump
Although seems like a lot, the overall footprint of everything is ridiculously small, that it even isn't worth attaching to the bike.
Besides that accessing all tools is super quick compared to some of the other tools where you assembly it for 5 minutes.
Hi, I've always been curious about those tubolito-tubes. Are they really that much more puncture-proof than "normal" inner tubes? :)
le Jake have been running 2x pairs on my and wifes dirt jump bikes over a usar now. Had 1 puncture, but ir was an spoke from a bush, but patched it up with their patches and still holds 60psi as before. Expensive but worth the buy for dietjump bikes
@ OK, good to know. Thank you!
What a work of art that bike is.

Running full suspension, for $90 you can get a custom split framepack from Rockgeist (or $180 for upper and lower). That's more of a bikepacking setup though. Personally I use a Dakine Gripper pack. Mounts wherever securely (lower on the frame seems to be better). Easily carries a 29er tubolito, multitool, pump, bacon strips etc.
I cannot stand carrying anything on me.
I have the EDC stem with EDC Tool and tyre plugs in the steerer, Tube, Levers and Co2 strapped to the frame, and a Fidlock water bottle. Everything I need on the bike.
Donut on my dh's stanchion is always a go to extra bottom out support and a mid ride snack
Exactly what I wanted thanks
I have a Scott Genius 700 plus tuned, i've purchased the Granite chain tool and the puncture tool, they are great. Next purchase the Granite stash multitool that sits in the tube of the fork. I have a spare emergency tyre strapped to the saddle and i use a framebagh, may not be cool but i don't give a toss, it's great and i can put loads of stuff inside plus have my cell phone under control for following tracks on komoot etc.
I use the framebox for the Canyon spectral together with a crancbrothers gem l pump
I’ve always enjoyed the free feeling of the no-backpack setup, especially for sub 2 hour quick rides. I use the specialized cage that attaches to the swat box (it works on non-specialized bikes with a little modification) where I carry my multi tool, c02, tire levers, tire repair kit, and could fit a few more little things like that tiny first aid kit I never carry. Then I strap a nicely folded inner tube to the underside of my top-tube. Works very well on Scott bikes with so much inside-the-frame space.
saddlebags have no place in dropper era, majority of them wrap around stanchion and will rub it clean of the anode. Ones that don't are not really big enough to be usefull and big means collision with the wheel on full sus or with jewelery sack on hardtail. I carry a decent size front triangle/head tube panniers and they are almost completely unobtrusive, can fit tube, tools, some food, wallet, few other small bits.
Frame strap with a tube, multi tool & tyre lever + a small tin containing chain links, patches, plugs etc & Bottle on the bike.
Add to that a Dakine hip pack for longer rides with extra water/food
I love that intro.
I’m really surprised more manufacturers are not doing the hole in downtube approach.
It really works great!
My multitool has all the tools that i need on trail ride. I just put innertube, minipump and multitool in my pocket. Works for me.
Basically I strap everything on bike but I try to keep weight back and low. The highest is my tube wrapped on seat tube right below dropper. The other thing I do is get the smallest tools that work and multifunction what I can.
I bet Levy ate the donut that's stuck onto the screwdriver...
I have an Oveja Negra Snack Pack in small that I put all my tools in on my big bike. It fits a spare tube, multi tool (w/ integrated tire levers & chain tool), tire plug kit, two CO2 cartridges, an inflator, a derailleur hanger, and some chain links. Quick link is electrical taped to my rear brake line (it gets lost in the bag easily). I also have a mini-pump mounted to a bracket attached to my bottle cage. MY XC bike gets basically the same set up, but I usually have a second top tube bag on it for all my gummy bears & donuts.
When I ride bagless I miss the easy of drinking a hydration pack offers, especially when wearing a fullface helmet.
same here, I will never switch back to bottles.
I've got the swat topcap tool on my enduro bike, just feel its excessive for the hardtail, otherwise I would have 2
so happy to see that i am not the only one that straps food to the bike frame. having a sub sandwich on my downtube makes me a better rider
Dang I never knew about Granite handlebar tools. That's perfect.
I have a OneUp EDC Lite for the multitool. Putting a chain tool and tubeless plugs in the bar ends means I'd be set for just about anything. Then just take along a tube and pump or c02 for those longer rides.
My answer is light waist bag or flat backpack with water.
You will have the possibility to have some tools, cell phone, water, food, all protected of mud and water.
It cost less, it weight less, it doesn't make the line of your bike ugly, and it keep your stuff safe.
Love the opening with a doughnut taped to the bike! LOL! I would probably eat that on a ride!
You got us begging for the grim 🍩
2:10 or if you are on a budget, search by "srwrn bike tool" cheers!
Granite also has a cool steer tube that doesn’t require a threading tool. That is a hidden $25 cost for the OneUp.
I rise with a camelback and just carry phone and snacks. I carry tools, c02, levers and a tube in a water bottle on the frame.
I still prefer to carry everything in a backpack. If I were to carry tools on the bike I would probably use frame bag.
1:04 the strap thing is problematic, cus it can move, tre strap and what what the trap is holding can get filled with dirt, salt, gravel.
it's much easier to clean a frame bag, or take it off if necessary.
I think it's best to have tools in a top tube bag if going for a frame bag something like MacRamsay has.
www.vitalmtb.com/community/MacRamsay,35719/setup,39651
having several spots where things are strapped is problematic, having to deal with several spots is not optimal.
I don't use inner tubes anymore, not even on winter setup with studded tyres, cus I now use Schwalbe Ice Spiker, and use Cush Core in the winter too.
1:33 now there is Granite Designs too, but you don't have to tap the steerer tube
if you don't mind little extra weight but want fast pumping without doing the work, then Fumpa pump is an option, there is Fumpa Mini but it does to have an indicator, but you need to remember to charge it, it takes 3 hours.
Rear Bike rack, framebag, saddle bag etc are the best ways.
My secret hack (not so secret) is my back protector with 4 pockets, enough to put all the little tools I would need out there :)
Subbed. Definitely subbed.
Well living in a country where it rains a lot and mud and sand gets everywhere, I don’t want to have anything on my frame. Back in the day I had a small pump on my frame and when I needed it it didn’t work properly since mud got insight. I prefer a clean bike and put the stuff I need in my backpack.
I use the topeak ninja and a tube strapped to my frame
Oneup is hands down the best. The others use bits. Imagine dropping those on the trail. Also. How is the crank stash better than the steer tube?
Anyone else find frame straps can scratch your frame?
charlie evans yes, I put shelter to protect the frame
My favorite thing about swat is saying "time to call in the SWAT team!" when one of my friends gets a flat.
I definitely need a 🍩 holder! 😅
Stuff a bunch of zip ties in the crank spindle so you always have them
Wouldn't fancy crashing that thing. Although the tools that don't get embedded under your skin could be used to ply the embedded tools out 😂
Empty peanut butter jar fits in a water bottle cage. I wrapped it with camo tape so it doesn't look too much like a peanut butter bottle but it holds lots of things.
Wow fancy expensive hard to get out of reach produts. I just carry a cool lukin sports backpack. Works wonders.
How much is the specialised swat one?
U can't buy it....
Thanks
i just use superglue. Keeps all my tools attached real nice.
tyle cukru?
a seat bag! Your grandma calls and wants her lycra back Mike.
Tool bottle. Best way to use that shit catcher bottle cage mount.
Syncros bottle cage for me
Just shove everything into a walmart plastic bag and let it swing from one side of a steering handle. You can carry a small watermelon this way let alone some tools.
😂😂😂
What mountain biker wouldn’t appreciate this video?!
Saddle bag ftw 😃
thank goodness there is a doughnut holder on that bike
I still rock a small camelback. I like to have lots of water with me and it's worked well for years
My osprey feels great and after paying $4000 fore a light carbon frame I want to keep it that way .
You stash your stuff to your friend's bags, best thing to do...only carry water bottle :)
Open you bike seat and put tier lever and pack kit
Pants with pockets
I’d rather have my gear on my body, and keep the bike light nimble and maneuverable. This whole “strap everything to your bike is getting pretty ridiculous.
Chad while I totally get what you’re saying, I’m the other way around. I don’t notice a huge difference when I strap an extra pound to my bike, but if I have a backpack on or have things in any place that will wiggle and jiggle as I ride, I get super annoyed.
Lol what are you strapping on your bike that makes it so heavy you can't flick it?
I don't understand strapping stuff to the frame at all. The amount of money it costs to make a bike 1kg lighter... and then people go and strap weights on the frame😱.
Mr. Popo I mean @Bradley Naughton has got a point..
@@GarrettHMTB not really. They make the bike 1kg lighter and your entire setup is 1kg lighter. If you put it on a heavier bike, then it's heavier. Putting it on your body doesn't change anything either because, believe it or not, YOU have to be on the bike to ride it.
I hide stuff in the seat pole
you need another water bottle on that bike!
That’s a big jacket.
can't believe how small a 26" tire looks these days.
These tools are nice but if you have more than one bike they are pretty useless. After that you're happily using your backbag again. :D
Every single option in this video can be changed over to a different bike. Most within seconds...
@@jackray8475 not the crank inserted tool, nor EDC sterrer tube mounted option, unless you have that stem or tapped another steerer tube.
my secret way to take tools with me is to make sure i go on days when theres someone around
All in tool is the quickest way to loose $67
SWAT...
🤙
4:49 unless you have a v10...
why is everything so expensive? ill just go for a backpack then
Are pockets bad now?
yes because you don't want your multitool stabbing your thigh when you crash.
Bike would make noise crazy.
Sunglasses hard case mounted to the frame.
😆 lol!
My secret place I carry tools is.....
I dont carry tools!
how about that doughnut tho?
Where’s your custom bike
This is my first road ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and I have taken it out a handful of times and so far it is exceeding all of my expectations. I didn’t want to break the bank on a first bike and the herd is a great option for getting a fast bike with reliable components. I plan on riding this bike for many years to come. Thank you Sava!
I wear a backpack just because I prefer to ride with a back protector :/
My issue is my back gets too hot. And wet. How do you do ventilation?
Better hot than paralysed
Using a backpack that will protect your back and have room for any extra stuff you need to carry? noooo, lets look like pro's like our 29er super racers
@Tomeasz Olkuasz almost any enduro/mtb backpack has any sort feature that will add some protection to the exposed structure of your back. Even my 2008 camelbak does. I could go on with advantages like not exposing spare inner tubes to trail debris, having everything in the same place and ready to go, avoid rattling or damaging the bikes paintjob, etc etc....
@@bNaVSK It's just nice to ride without anything on you, very freeing. And you can still keep a multi tool and tire plug kit handy.
Well, maybe I'm just old fashioned, for me my backpack is just part of the gear, like gloves or the helmet. Anyway, I would place it under the same "if sh!t happens" category of the tools and spares and even the helmet...
Nothing like a nice sweat drenched back from carrying around a backpack
One multi tool in my pocket
but if it's a side pocket, please don't if you crash, a tool might penetrate your thigh., if so it might mean a bloody mess literally.
@@mtbboy1993 very good point
More Tape
25$ for a strap isn't cheap.
I just ride with mates that carry all that shit 🤭
Topeak ninja
Dakine hot laps downtube bag.
Bro, you need to have a spare frame. attached to your bike.
some people spend a lot of money for very light bikes and then they carry so much stuff :/
my new bike is heavier, definitely not a cheap bike, but it fits me and is enduro bike, coil front and back, and I only put tools in my back pack
@@mtbboy1993 You prefer suspension over light-weight. That's not what I meant ;) I have a carbon trail bike and I only carry a pocket-pump, mobile and keys in my pockets and a tubeless repair kit and a little hex wrench taped onto the frame. Usually I don't even carry anything to drink.
Haha
Toooob
no, does not mean anything what you say, but your new design is "eating" the parts, and you need to change or repair during all the time. :+(
6th lmao
Also you absolutely butchered the pronunciation of Öhlins
Disrespecting an old Brodie. Shame! 😊
I always thought riding with a backpack was not the best idea.
Then you've always been wrong.
why?, having everything you need always in one place, without having to take it off to clean it, without having tools covered in dirt, or having to swap tools over to another bike.
