just a couple...
product notes.
first the lezyne l-caddy seat bag. we got some of these at the shop. the l-caddy is lezyne's bigger version. it's big enough to hold everything you need in a saddle bag. however the big plus is that everything is kept separate from everything else. there are two 'compartments' to the bag. the upper portion holds a couple of tubes (mtn or road), tire levers, patch kit, and a place for money/credit card. the lower half holds a multi-tool, and a pump. now the advantage to this bad is that everything has a 'place', everything is kept separate from everything else. there are little compartments and sleeves for the appropriate thing.
why is this an advantage? as tools and such are able to rub against the tube or tubes in the bag, then you compromise the integrity of the tube; which would lead to possible other problems with the tube when you need it.
the bag fits under the saddle rather well (it's been used on the vw and the slider). it's not bulky, but it is 'long'.
i also picked up a new light...the hope vison two led. great light. i was planning on using it today at a twelve hour race, but other circumstances took precedence; however i did go out on a night ride the other night and was really impressed with it. it has a wide beam. three different beam strengths, and a flashing mode. i kept it in flashing mode while i was on the road, low beam on the tow path, and bright when i was riding off road at the tow path/metro-park trail (i'm not sure what they're calling it); i would have done more except i didn't have a head light for going around corners.
as you may (or may not) know the hopes are made in england, and they demand strong stuff...therefore this light is strong and stable. a good investment if you're looking for an awesome 'to see' headlight (this is different than the 'to be seen' headlights). it does come with a price though...the price. it's expensive, but if you plan on doing night rides where there are no lights (i.e. mtn or other paths) it is well worth it.
well, i'm going to see if i am able to get out on this rainy weekend for a spin. enjoy...
