Anybody know a good way to wash a Grunden's without damaging the
waterproofing in the fabric. The last trip I made left it with both mud
and grease stains. The liner is particularly grimy. I know it will just
get dirty again anyway, but

I find that maintaining and out fitting more than 3 or 4 bikes is my
limiting factor. I hate switching pumps,water bottle and saddle bags
between bikes, because I always forget something. I hate that feeling when
I am half way through a ride and notice I forgot to switch over the frame
pump.
I always have pump and kit for each bike, and when selling bikes off I end
up with a bunch of pumps stashed in a storage box and a lot of extra tubes
and tubes of glue.
