OneUp Announces New EDC Tube Strap Mount & Inline Pump Mount
@BrianColes: I have an Osprey pack and that’s what osprey calls them… lumbar packs. Lumbar pack, Hip pack, Fanny pack. It’s low on my back and it carries extra stuff. Call it whatever you want.

OneUp Announces New EDC Tube Strap Mount & Inline Pump Mount
I have a tube and multi tool strapped to the frame just above the bottom bracket and a small lezyne pocket drive pump next to my water bottle cage using the frame mount that came with the pump. everything I need for a short ride is always on the bike. Just grab the bike and go. For longer rides, I bring a lumbar pack with extra water, food and anything else I might need - jacket, etc.

Review: How Canyon's KIS Could Change Mountain Biking, and Why It Probably Won't
I’m holding out on purchasing a new bike until one is available that has cable routing that not only goes thru the headset, but also has the KIS springs coiled around the cables inside the top tube.

Review: How Canyon's KIS Could Change Mountain Biking, and Why It Probably Won't
I have about 20 bikes. The only one I could see this being even remotely helpful on is my tandem cruiser… and not even when riding. When parking it, especially if the front basket is loaded up with stuff, the wheel will flop, overpowering the kickstand and causing the bike to tip over (yes it has a basket and a kickstand and yes my wife and I look like dorks when riding it). But leaning the bike against a wall or pole accomplishes the same thing for free.
Other than that one very specific situation, KIS seems like a solution looking for a problem.

Spotted: New Enduro Bike from Lapierre
@nickfranko: they used to, back when nascar was actually raced using (relatively) stock cars… win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

Wolf Tooth Releases SRAM 3-Bolt & Race Face Cinch T-Type Chainrings
Will these be more wear resistant than the drop stop A? Reason I ask is because I found the A chainrings to become very noisy. Three chainrings, mine, my sons and my neighbors, all using the same sram eagle GX drivetrains started making loud creaking sounds within a few thousand miles.
