Hmmm... thanks for advice....
Cause I go for night ride... so need to prepare those things lo.... the bag under saddle is for tube and multi tools....
The bag in top tube is for my light's battery, small torch light and my keys will be in there too....

Hmmmm.... can't fix it to side of the bottle cage, tried before, my leg's will hit that pump so it need to be top or bottom of the frame tube. Also did tried to fix under the top tube but the cables will rub the pump.... hmmmm..... sweat.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

Thinking of getting a camel water bottle and fix it to where the water bottle cage is....

the bike should be light as possible so it is responsive to the max, all pumps, water bottles and tubes should go in a riding pack so they do not get in the way. only essentials should be on the frame, good and bright lights (a must), cyclocomp (optional, mud? what mud?), mudguards (optional), bottle cage (no need, do you really want to drink from a bottle that got hit by rat shit?) just my 2 sen. since it is a night your fluid need will be a lot less than a hot day ride, one bottle in the bag should be enough.

Thanks guys for the advice. I think I would have myself a camel backpack then put those things in there.
My bike frame is really having limited space.

Thanks again for the advice again.

Trust me, it is not the weight $$$ will determine if your bike feel more responsive. It is called I believe I've spent my money wisely laugh.gif

MTB also wanna pakai cartridge blink.gif not like our tire need high pressure or competition. Maybe if using super skinny slicks ride in Taman need-la thumbup.gif

As a rider who rides a relatively heavy bike, well, i can say that once the bike starts rolling, we won't feel that much weight. Responsiveness and flickability IMHO is determined by the geometry and fit. For example a slack geometry with wide bars is more responsive than the same frame with shorter bars. A less slack angled bike will feel less flicky compared to a slacker bike. Wheelbase, head angle and center of gravity dictates how responsive it is.

Another example is that, slacker bikes are more responsive at speed compared to less slack bikes and at slower speeds, a less slack bike is more responsive when slower.

With heavy bikes, you'll only suffer when going up hill... and some flats... compared to lighter bikes wink.gif

Guys I need some advice to put this air-pump to my bike.

user posted image

Currently it is seated on the top tube as you see in pic.
Previously it was in the seat tube just behind the water bottle cage.
Really not a good place as it gets very dirty after a ride offroad.

But because of the shape of tube for my bike, fixing on top tube makes will move from side to side.
Beside i am using Thule car rear hanger to take my bike, so fixing at seat tube makes it an obstruction for mounting the bike to the carrier (Light Green color part is where the bike will be fixed to the carrier.)

Got any good idea? notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
