Yes, you may.

I can barely fit all my junk in that one.

I have now moved beyond the juvenile drivel that permeates the 41. I'm headed to P&R for serious discussion.

I believe I was just called drivel.

Every one of my posts are calculated, intelligent, concise, and generally inspires ephiphanies in the reader.

Might I suggest it's unnecessary to store your frame pump in your saddle bag with three extra tires?

So what do you bring on your solo rides?

Since I ride alone most of the time, usually out of normal civilization, I bring 2 tubes, 2 CO2 canisters, levers, a patch kit and a multi tool.

Multi-tool, CO2, and spare tube. They take up space.

Basically this, but only one tube because you have the patch kit as a backup. I suggest this one.

Is there a trick to squeezing things into little containers?

For all the woe at the basketball game last night, they at least made an effort at half-time entertainment this time. How does an assistant squeeze into a little cube and then have someone run a sword through it? I don't get it.

One tube, satchel that has a CO2 inflator, two canisters, a patch kit, and Park tire levers. Both fit easily into the middle pocket of my jersey. I don't like junk hanging off of my seat other than my junk.

a tube, 2 levers, a patch kit and a multi tool... and my iPhone when I ride by myself or think I might get lost. I believe a CO2 cartridge or two would fit easily.

I don't like all that weight in the back of my jersey. Pulls on the jersey too much for my liking.

The Timbuk2 comes in three sizes with secure velcro straps. Their messenger bag has treated me well for years.

I have a tiny and probably completely ineffectual pump mounted to the frame, and then for "long" rides a seat bag with a tube, levers, and CO2. I also use it for car keys, maybe a gel or two or some gummies.

That is my feeling as well. I have enough weight in the front of my jersey
I would rather have a larger saddle bag (mine is the same size as VV's) and never call for help (I never have)

Also, last year, the one time I forgot my seat bag, one of the screws in my speedplay cleat backed out and I could not clip in. I was 20+miles from home and had to knock on the door of a trailer to borrow a phillips head. I ain't doing that again ever! (thought I was gonna get shot by a redneck going after sum o' dem **** types!)

I don't even know it's there. Maybe you should lose some weight so your jerseys fit tighter.

Where do you put your phone? Food?

Food and occasionally extra bottles go in the pockets. Anything I don't need access to while pedaling stays under the seat.

Love the pedals, hate the cleat/adapter plate system.
