My Osprey Raptor 14 hydration pack. Not too big, not too small, just right.
Zip-ties , what else do we need ?🤷
Oh yes.
Torque wrench multitool, easy. Reusable zip ties and/or carabiners kick ass too. I use them to zip/clip my helmet and/or chin bar onto my backpack while I'm climbing.
Am I the only person to stop the vid at 1.40😳
Sorry😔
I mean a pressure washer, waterproof gore tex jacket, a poncho robe, lunch box, computer, padded shorts, tire plugs, and a pressure Guage are all great I guess.but I think mud guards, rechargeable lights, a helmet, dropper post and thinsulate gloves are more important
My bike has two bottle cages, one for water and one for my tool bottle, which is more than adequate for shorter rides instead of taking my backpack.
I didn't know that Garmin has a new bike computer!!!!
Definitely need budget friendly ideas for kit!!
I like the IKEA bag idea, way cheaper than a bike branded one. My favorite one is the power washer. Sometimes it’s hard to find a car wash after a muddy tide.
A large tarpaulin. No matter what the condition of my bike or kit,i line the back of the car with the rear seats down,put all my kit in,take it out and the car is fine
I read that as “large trampoline”. Had no idea why mtb would need it, let alone a large one

Thumbs up for the Hydro shot, its fantastic without being too powerful.
We do enjoy ourselves a Hydroshot!
I have same worx washer and garden equipment great all batteries fit each other
This chic is amazing, love the content and presentation
You go girl
Thanks for watching!
The battery powered pressure washer tops the lot!
Dynaplug, I don’t use anything else. Just works
Strapless bib? Are they not we've been calling shorts for the last 50 years?
Quality👍👍👍👍👍 never goes out of style👍👍👍👍👍
I think the ‘changing robe’ seems like a very UK specific gadget. I wasn’t even aware of their existence! :D Here in Northern Europe especially we are not prude at all and we frankly do not care about some bare skin. Out on the trails, you see hikers and cyclists change clothes all the time. Nice video though! Love the channel! Also, portable pressure washer for the win! Especially when you live in an apartment.
The 'changing robe' comes from surfing and it's proper name is a hooded towel, it is designed so that we surfers can take off our wetsuit without fully exposing ourselves in the carpark, then dry with the hooded towel on, throw on a pair of shorts and take it off. Or alternately wear it in the car on the drive home
Cool! Thanks for the elaboration. Wasn’t aware of that. Not much surfing going on here in Finland 😅
I'm using a cheaper alternative to Garmin, it is from Lezyne and does the same job. They don't have fancy colour touch screens, but they are built to ride to hell, with a sturdier mount than Garmin, as they say. They sync with Strava and Komoot as well. Since my bike is my only vehicle, I also use powerful lights from Lezyne, here again nothing better.
I rock a budget towelling robe and IKEA bag also. Cheap as chips and they do the exact same job as the expensive stuff.
A word of warning... not all filters are equal or able to make all water sources safe to drink. It would be prudent to advise viewers to do their research.
@Anna, which version of the Chase vest do you prefer? For others that mentioned pressure gauges. I tried the topeak but now only use it for fork and shock. The SKS air checker is my go to for tires.
5:54 I thought bibs meant it had straps. So it's the first time hearing of strapless bibs. As suspected I was right. This is what merriam-webster dictionary says:
bib shorts
plural noun
: an article of clothing worn chiefly by bicyclists which consists of tight-fitting shorts that extend upwards on the torso and two straps that pass over the shoulders
Exactly... a few niggling errs peppered here and there...
Buy a nice small Lezyne pump with a built in gauge and test the accuracy with a digital gauge. Then leave the digital gauge in the tool box. Finding good padded shorts is becoming a challenge. My best shorts are a pair of 30 year old Cannondale shorts (Cannondale used to sell only the best quality bike clothing). The pad in these shorts is an artificial chamois that never gets wet from sweat. Thick, soft pads in shorts are terrible. I always wear a hydration pack for any ride longer than an hour. Pump, tools, spare tube, ultra light jacket, food, water, ibuprofen, toilet paper, flexible bandage wrap, spare AXS battery, and what the weather may require. I hate riding with people that show up for a 4 hour ride with just a water bottle. They end up borrowing my stuff to get home. I think the only thing in that pack I have not used is that spare battery. Once on my back the weight is not noticeable. The sweat on a hot day is, but it is what it is.
Sqlab makes a GREAT chamois. Expensive, but fantastic
Thanks. I will take a look. My favorite Cannondale shorts were $80 in the mid '90s. An insane price.. 30 years of wear out of them and still working. $80 was a great deal!
They don't pack anything because they know you will have everything packed for them already. I always used to be the guy that carried everything but now I quit and hope other people like you come riding with me :)
Agree with everything you said Anna 🙌
Jet washing your bike is a bloody good way to knacker it
You guys should have a "Budget Tips" section in some of your videos or do Budget Videos for riders on budgets to help save money, find solutions for problems, find tools at cheaper costs like a list of good tools on Amazon, what kind of maintenance prevent early wear on bike parts, cheap tires reviews, cheap forks reviews, cheap bikes reviews, which cheap bikes can be upgraded,...also nothing about children bikes online, which brands are available, when to change bike sizes,...I can keep going for a wild 😂
You might be on to something here... 🆒️ 👏🏽
I don't see the point of a separate tire pressure gauge. What would you do if you read the pressure and it is wrong? Much simpler to just buy a track pump with a gauge on it. The other suggestions make sense, though I would not skimp on a changing robe. If the weather is reasonably warm and dry, you just drive home in your cycling clothes. If it is wet and horrible, then you need to change, and in those conditions, I would want a changing robe that is as warm and waterproof as possible!
I've got 2 of those Topeak digital pressure gauges. I went back to the old fashioned analogue gauge because the digital ones were simply random number generators & so are useless.
Is that a Garmin 850 ? Or did I hear wrong ??
Yeah she definitely said 850 and I went on their website to check and there's none....yet.
Yeah... me 3
I just go through the car wash on my way home. If you leave the bike on the boot rack you can clean your bike at the same time.
😅😅 2 for one! C'est Magnifique!
nice
Are the bib shorts not absolutely roasting?
Waterproof is overrated. Usually you stay at home when it is shitty weather
I hear UK people go out regardless given it rains a lot.
@@sety409 yep, in the uk where low pressure dominates the weather pattern you’d never get out if you only rode in dry weather. It totally sucks but I rather ride wet then not at all… gore tex is a must 😜
Having all this kit is great but the weight is going to be a pain to carry around all day!
You could just get the Apple Vision pro and not have to get all sweaty. My pref.
MIPS
I'd totally rip my hunting waterproof pants if I wore them bike riding
If I wore tight biking waterproof pants while deer hunting I would get laughed out of the woods
That's a conundrum...
Budget please,way to much pressure in mtb to spend thousands thinking it will make it more fun,not the case
Anna’s still around then 😩
What’s wrong with Anna? She does a great job!
I find the title of this video very misleading.. This is a list of expensive solutions to first world's problems, really.. Apart from the tyre plugs, that's something we should all ride (and drive) with!
