Re: [RBW] Every Day Carry - Here's Mine, What's Yours?
Mine varies from bike to bike; here are the extremes: Off road bike (Fargo) 3 tubes patch kit tire boot multi tool (all needed allens -- from SPD pedals to stem binder bolt; all needed hexes, chain tool, spoke wrenches, screwdrivers) Quik Stik saddle cover reflective ankle strip Swiss army knife (for the blade) extra chain link extra Sram chain link zip ties Lezyne minipump, fat size shop rag Gofast (man, this has been hanging on my wall unrid since September) Park T-bone tool 2 tubes patch kit saddle cover (gotta protect those Flites) Lezyne mini (the skinny one) The trike and the '03 Curt get something in between.

Re: [RBW] Every Day Carry - Here's Mine, What's Yours?
"Every day" depends on when we're talking during the day. The workday EDC is radically different than my non-work EDC- and are contained in different packaging. My non-work EDC is a frame pump, spare tube, a patch kit, a Park tire boot, tire levers, a Ritchey multi tool, Presta to Schrader adapter and a spoke wrench. Ecept for the pump and the tube, all of that fits inside an Altoids tin, based on "tool kit B" on this page: http://pardo.net/bike/pic/fail-003/000.html On one bike add a Leatherman Squirt tool which is in the bar bag; on another I have a little Swiss Army folding pliers that still fits inside the Altoids tin with a Park CPR-9. I usually take my cell phone in a pocket, but I take that pretty much everywhere anyway. I use these for rides from around the block to 400 km. For brevets and PBP I added one of those folding emergency spokes and taped a few extra spokes to fender stays and, IIRC, took a spare brake and derailleur cable. My personal proclivity for EDC is towards minimalism. I hate being loaded down with a lot of baggage. A well-maintained bike does not need an extensive tool kit on the bike IMHO (although the kits above will cover the majority of repairs short of a bottom bracket replacement or headset replacement). I also like my bikes to weigh about 20 lbs or less (which is the case for 3 of my 4 bikes) which may sum up my stance on this topic. I know people who carry 3-4 spare tubes, chain links, big wrenches, spare parts like brake pads and cables, 4-5 snacks, etc. My wife almost always takes a U-lock. Whatever gives you the best chance of having a fun ride is OK by me, even if it's stuff I wouldn't haul around. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Every Day Carry - Here's Mine, What's Yours?
Amit, I agree this is a cool and interesting topic, but also one that makes me a little apprehensive, since I already spend way too much time thinking about bikes in the manner of a connoisseur rather than just a rider, and if my interests expand to other EDC-type things like cameras, knives, flashlights, multi-tools, watches, pens, etc., I am really going to be in trouble in terms of doing any actual work. That said, toys and tools are fun and useful, and all work and no play made Jack the dull boy, so I hope this thread will grow. I suppose the way to go is, just like with bikes, to do some research up front and establish a good EDC kit made up of quality gear, and then be content with it and resist the urge to constantly "upgrade". The challenge is to admire and not covet. How do you like your Canon S100? I just got a S95 on sale before Christmas and of course the photos I have taken with it completely blow away the ones I was taking with my cell phone before. I also get a fair amount of use out of my Opinel knife, which I purchased after a discussion on the iBOB list a few months ago. I agree that it meets the definition of "BOBish." I maintain, however, that a tamahagane wakizashi would be just as useful and far more dashing, and I may yet switch to that for my EDC blade. - David G, Madison WI On Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 11:18 AM, Amit Singh wrote: > I'm reposting this with hopes of greater response because it's a cool > and interesting topic. > > This subject of 'every day carry' is one of which I've been slightly > obsessed. > > Here is a link to an image of my EDC, and a list: > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/amisingh/6760998841/ > > - Bandana (serves as handkerchief) > - Opinel No. 6 knife > - Lip Ivo > - iPhone 4 carried in Col.

[RBW] Every Day Carry - Here's Mine, What's Yours?
I'm reposting this with hopes of greater response because it's a cool and interesting topic. This subject of 'every day carry' is one of which I've been slightly obsessed. Here is a link to an image of my EDC, and a list: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amisingh/6760998841/ - Bandana (serves as handkerchief) - Opinel No. 6 knife - Lip Ivo - iPhone 4 carried in Col. Littleton No. 50 Phone Wallet - Keys carried on ML Brown Braided Keychain - Shure E4 Earbuds - Lamy Fountain Pen - Moleskin Notebook (set up as GSD) - Swatch GB743 - Canon S100 Camera - Surefire G2x Tactical Flashlight I like how all this stuff is compact so it fits well inside of a small trunk sack. When I'm not on the bike it's generally carried in a pocket on my briefcase, and when that doesn't happen I can carry it all on my person in various pockets, although I'm tempted to start carrying a man-bag or a "m-urse". This is a 'heavy load', but it's everything which I need to flip between work and adventure. Works for me. I'd be interested in seeing your EDC's. http://everyday-carry.com/ is a neat website that shows lots of carries. There are a few others which are similar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
