Good list . The only thing that doesn’t concern me personally is the shoes . I’m of the opinion that shoes are shoes and not mt. bike specific . They are being sold as mtb specific but that’s a bit of a stretch for me . I’ve been using Converse All Stars for about 65 years and have never felt any need to upgrade to something more durable like in the video . Other than the shoe thing your list is really very objective and extremely useful . i carry all of those things and have used ALL of those things at one time or another .
Another well presented video ! 👍👍
Hey Sam! Another cool video 🤙🏻 any closer to a power sx review?
Great topic when you consider that a E BIKE is most likely going to get you in situations you may not experience on a daily basis on your mountain bike. I like using CUSH CORE tire inserts to help prevent pinch flats and after a year of hard riding I’ve run through a few sets of tires with zero flats. I also won’t ride my E BIKE without https://youtu.be/uWT4qRlcBBM GEO HANDGUARDS…” they PROTECT -DEFLECT and ABSORB most impacts on the trail and they are like having “ A HELMET FOR YOUR HANDS” if you value your SAFETY and want to protect your HANDS and CONTROLS while out having a blast on your E BIKE you should check them out.
Cool vid Sam. My suggestions, get a rear hanger. If you clip or bend the rear hanger it’s an easy and quick fix to replace on the trail. Also useful to carry a spare valve and a cleat screw.
Hello Sam, always nice videos but you have forgotten the most important thing and that is a drinking bottle I live in the Philippines and it is usually 30 gr here. and drinking is really important here you can not last an hour without drinking … so at least 2 drinking cans … Greetings
Good selection and applicable on for non Ebike.
For Knee Pads I look for adjustable straps above & below the knee so you can modify for a non perfect fit, also any elastic grippers relax as they age so they may become loose.
I carry all sizes of quick link 9-12 just in case a rider buddy hasn’t got one or just some random on the trails.
I recommend a tyre insert in the rear wheel. With many designs of tyre plug systems they can be fiddly and you can if your not careful puncture the rim tape. I now carry the Stans Dart .. expensive and you need a latex based sealant.. not used it yet. Ultimately always I carry the relevant size inner tubes a puncture repair kit + a tiny Tubolito final backup for remote epics.
I’d never ride without a pump even with CO2 it runs out and isn’t enough even with a big 16-20g you’ll need to top up anyway on those large tyres. I do carry CO2 for Uplift days but other than that only if it’s cold and wet would i use it.
I also use a backpack with a back protector but you need to have it on tight and correctly or it wont help.
A full size 8 and 6mm Hex.. I’ve helped many people over the years with a crank issues and with a tiny multi tool you’ve not go the leverage.
I’ve got a Switchblade and TBH I don’t really like it.. too heavy and the chin guard mounting needs practice also they are really tight fits to put on and off with no safety release. IMO just get one of the new lightweight one piece ones and for uplifts get a proper DH helmet (I replaced my Switchblade with a POC Spin.. night and day difference imo)
Main thing I do carry with me is the knowledge of how to fix my bike and others bikes.. no point carrying the kit if you don’t know how to use it. So learn how to fix stuff and don’t just rely on the LBS as their mechanic probably isn’t going to jump out of a bush at the side of a trail if you have a mechanical 🙂
Great tips Sam cheers. In a previous video, you talked about the rages2 from Sunn whats the power like and would that be a good choice of bike fro a virgin e-bike rider.
Not a must, or something you can carry with your. But I’d say a tire insert for at least the rear is a good investment. I def. feel a lot more confident knowing they’re in there esp with the weight of ebikes. Anyone ever need to use a plug with a tire insert?
Greetings from the US. Great video, keep it up. And for the quick links tip!
Sam, I noticed you were dissing the Fox gloves a bit for wear issues. I can’t recommend enough the POC Resistance DH Glove. Pricey, yes, but extremely durable and quite protective.
Yep good list👍
My bare minimum: helmet, glasses, gloves, water, phone.
