Subject: HIM or IM race day supplies--bike specific? Alot of great discussions on training, nutrition, racing, and recovery--but what about race day supplies, particular the bike segment Iam talking about. What do you typically carry with you? Spare tube for clincher wheel, spare tubular tire, tire wrench, Co2 cartri., crackpipe (disc wheel setup), ect. Also, how do you all carry/store this spare equipment? All in a smaller bag behind seat, velcro and/or taped together under seat, ect? Figured all this time, money and such put into getting to race day, we might as well be prepared in the event of a flat. I noticed a couple of articles, persons mentioning also carrying a small razor blade? I personally run tubulars on race day. Razor blade.........to cut the tire and get it off easier and quicker? Iam confused here. For those of you who have had the misfortune of getting a flat on race day, what do you do with the flat tire/tube? Fine the nearest trash can, roll it up and stick it in back pocket of jersey? All suggestions and/or photos of personal set-ups welcome on this thread. |
