Check Out: Hip Packs, Shoes, Tailgate Pads, Tire Plugs & More

 Missed opportunity from marketing team, should have been called the Dog Pack.

 @isaacschmidt: Or the Poochie

 @isaacschmidt: I think wolf tooth ought to make a pack and call it the Wolf Pack

 They could do two sizes. The kit and the caboodle.

 @codypup: didnt realize there were so many marketing majors here!

 @jojotherider1977: dang it. That’s better than mine.

 Rhodesian Ridge 'pack' ?

 @ATV25: Jack Russell "carrier"?

 only a trail dirt bag would force their dog to carry their water for them.

 It looked violated...Had that I'm not your bitch look...

 Dog does not look impressed…

 I thought it was a dude with a really hairy back

 @VtVolk: @whattheheel is that you?

 @ericls: Because it pinches at the hips when he sits.

 Hopefully not a weight wiener

 @ericls: "Dog does not look impressed…"

Search for a pic of @danielsapp in a rain jacket on here. She takes after daddy.

 @DroppingThreeTwoOne:
Go Pro helmet came for my dog so he can record how awesome I am while he chases me down a trail. LOL

 @ericls:
Dog is like "Bontrager...really? I am a sub culture dog so get me a Dakine or one of those Wolf Tooth packs the PB commenters are talking about.

 Time to summon @IamTheDogEzra and ask for his opinion I guess...

 @neimbc: Poochie Pouch!

 @southoftheborder: The best place to store food and water is inside yourself. Tools too, although it can take a bit to access if you flat or need to adjust something.

 @isaacschmidt: I downvote you!

 @neimbc: Almost like the strap the put on a bucking bulls private area so it will go nuts!!

 @curendero: That is so cruel.

 They have a stationed in a nursing home vibe to me

 LOL thanks for that...

 @leadsledpaintrain: Made for the e-bike market. Probably lots of 80 year olds cruising around on clips.

 @leadsledpaintrain: Yup, as soon as I saw the pic, I was thinking "looks like something an orderly would wear"

 @fielonator: The older, The beige!

 I see that brand name and can't help but pronounce it Phloozy.

 $50 for a beer-cozy for your phone. The never-find-it-again camo is just the icing on the dumbest-purchase-ever cake.

 "The biggest selling feature in my mind is that it slows down the cold from killing your phone's battery"

You mean like a pocket?

 The padding also makes it sound resistant so when one of your buddies calls the phone on his/hers to find it in the brush...you won't hear it.

Or maybe this product is made the those edgy sidewall mountain bikers.

 in my cranks, right?

 @vhdh666: in your downtube

 @chadtague1: hopefully in her seat tube

 If she is putting two plugs in she may need a bottom bracket.

 @vjunior21: Make sure to grease it, they get creaky.

 She's always surprising us.

 My dog's strategy would be to chew through the cap

 @danielsapp: Shes a good boy

 @Alvey72: My dog tested this method on a CamelBak Podium bottle last night and can confirm that it works.

 @mtb-sf: my kid destroyed 5 camelback bottles and i dont know how many camelback bite valves as a baby. I dont know how my wife could tolerate breast feeding him.

 @fabwizard: probably the same way she tolerates you..????

 I use the Rapid Pack for local 1-3 hour rides, also. I agree, it's really stable. Plus, it kind fits under the shirt instead of over, or at least the front side. This is good for us old dudes with thicc mid torsos because it doesn't enhance the thiccness.

 My Rapid Pack is one of the best designed pieces of gear I have ever owned. Wish I had a loonie for every time I reached back to make sure it was still there. The thing disappears within 30 seconds of putting it on.

 Yeah, seems like the ideal place to put a hard bottle is right at the base of your spine...

 @lacuna: idk what bottles you're using...

 @lacuna: I have had several water bottles save my spine during my XC days, they literally explode and take the force of impact.

 Grandpa meets Operation Desert Storm!

 they killed Osama Bin Laden with these!

 It's actually so good! Bontrager is rad for the 30 day trial too! I use it on fairly long rides even, as so many things can be stored on the bike now. No movement on this hip pack at all!

 I’ve fit a 24oz water bottle, crank bros tool, iPhone XS, mini slim Jim, keys, tire lever, inhaler, mini ziplock bag of trail mix and a 16oz High Sierra Torpedo and a small glass...pain reliever in one of those packs! The material stretches wonderfully.

 @abueno: "inhaler" riiiiiiiiiight.

 It has no blocks for downtube security and looks super thin too. Def a pass

 @senorbanana: BUt coLORaDo mAn

 But it has a pocket to keep your beer warm!

 What's the preferred tailgate pad to get? I need one for my ute.

 I wouldn't pay more then 100 cdn for one - they are not exactly a special piece of technology.

 @onemind123: legend, thanks. I figured theres going to be crap pads, overpriced pads, and something in between that has everything you need. I will grab one of these next week.

 Me too... far too many times I have needed them. I wish I had them in a handier place than in my pack though. It is nice to not let the air leak out but a pain to fish around in my pack for the bacon strips while holding a finger over the leak.

 They also work way better

 I pinchflatted a brand new tire in moab 2 weekends ago while dropping the stairs on ahab. Put bacon in it and it fell out riding back to the car. Put another one in. Rode mag 7 the next day and it popped out while we were sitting and talking after dropping down portal. Put another one in and rode back to town. Next day on the way to an enchilada shuttle the bacon popped out again while riding the bike path. Met some dude that was heading to the same shuttle. He said he had a dynaplug and to try it.

It's still in my tire, sealed completely and hasn't fallen out. The brass tip is an excellent idea and works well. I ordered a racer kit the day I got home. It was $55 but that's cheaper than a new tire and came with 5 plugs, refills aren't that expensive.

It's made in the usa and works amazing so I was ok paying the money for it. It really is a great product.

 Do you guys start the bacon plugs on fire and smooshthe burnt rubber onto the tire? They seal really well if you do. (Not kidding)

 @UtahBikeMike: You missed the part where that Racer tool should have been made of plastic so it costs & weighs half as much. Dynaplugs stay put better than Bacon, but they're not a permanent solution, like *all* plugs (Bacon & Stan's included) they'll lose seal at some point. Pointed tips like on Darts or the Dynas can also puncture rim tape or sidewalls. Get a set of old-school REMA Tip-Top patches & vulcanizer and patch your tires from the inside as soon as you get home. That repair will last the life of the tire, and you'll never have to keep stuffing one $3 Dynaplug after another into the same hole trying to reseal it.

 @woofer2609: gonna try that, find it works its way out, even faster if its trimmed so it doesn't hit something every rotation, annoying AF thanks

 @UtahBikeMike: I’ve only ever had troubles with bacon strips on pumice soils. My theory is the abrasive soils yank the plugs out. Both times I have had the bacon strip pull out were while climbing in pumice. Never been to Moab but I assume it is fairly abrasive soil/rock there. Perhaps different products work better for different conditions... some food for thought at least.

 I have had issues but also had no issues with the bacon strips when I use two at once, they seem to work better that way.

 @Veloscente:

I'd rather have an aluminum one honestly. If they offered a plastic one for $35 or an aluminum I'd buy the $55 aluminum one. I'm in the camp of "buy once, cry once".

The way it works they'd still have to put metal tubes in the plastic handle anyways.

 @Veloscente:

The dyna plug is still in there, still sealed. It'll last longer than the tire does.

You can't fit a patch on the bead from a pinchflat. Plug is the correct solution.

I've tried to patch mountain bike tires on the inside after ripping knobs but due to the flex it always peels off. I've had better luck just throwing a large piece of gorilla tape over the hole.

 @UtahBikeMike: you can patch the inside of a tube with glued or glueless patches if the tire is absolutely clean. Shoo goo works for punctures near the bead as well. All of th above are only doable after returning home, however

 @woofer2609:
I'd rather just poke a plug in it and call it a day. The amount of effort required to patch a tubless tire isn't worth it to me.

 @UtahBikeMike: How about on a brand-new $100 tire? It's definitely worth the effort to patch for me.

 @Skooks:
I'd rather throw a $3 plug in it and call it a day. Messing with patching a previously tubeless tire sounds like an awful waste of time.

PS, where are you spending that much money on tires? You need to shop around more

 @UtahBikeMike: Your lack of experience w/ plugging & patching is obvious. I ride daily on exceptionally rocky trails. Punctures happen weekly. Every single tire in my quiver of over a dozen has at least one patch on it. Every tire worth riding costs $55+ street, you do the math. I have frequently had to stuff 2-3 dynaplugs in a hole to get proper seal. $6-9 to plug a single hole I am going to have to patch anyway is a mug's game: I simply throw in a tube & boot to get home unless I'm incredibly pinched for time. Patching a tire from the inside takes 3 minutes, including coating inside and outside with urethane sealant after vulcanizing patch in place. Lasts the life of the tire, and can be done all the way down to the very bottom of the bead. I have used every brand of plug on the market over the last 5 years. 100% of them have failed*while riding* within two months. Not one patch has failed in 5 years. If your plug hasn't failed, you just haven't ridden it enough yet.

 @Veloscente:
You have zero knowledge of my experience and are making some pretty tall assumptions there, bud.

Thanks for gracing me with your presence and throwing down all that knowledge to me.

That's great you like to waste time patching all those tires, I don't.

The tire that got a pinchflat in moab just got another one. Small dynaplug fixed it again. I'll replace the tire in the spring as the tire is about worn out.

I don't see why folks spit all this hate on something that works well.

 IDK...are your friends in the habit of smiffing your butt?

 @woofer2609: or licking their balls?

 @woofer2609: Not usually, but anything can happen after a few beers.

 @ReformedRoadie: Well I do like a nice cup of tea, oh wait . . . .

 Do they also provide a saw guide so you can trim down your bars so it doesn't get ripped out at the first tree caress?

 right? bar plugs are a terrible design. Lets put a tool in a high impact zone!

 Not to mention it'd hurt when you land on it...

 I think mu concern would be having a solid sharp object, fixed to the inside or my tire, now pointing at the carbon rim and rim strip. Pass

 But there’s the elastic loop on the back part where you can roll your jacket and attach it

 @abueno: well, didn’t think of that. I guess that’s my one complaint then, that loop is really weak. Already ripped it off getting a water bottle in.

 @slayersxc17: yea the loop isn’t durable but that elastic is fantastic

 Pretty, pretty good...

 She’s pretty tolerant, especially for a 10 month old, 90 lb. puppy.

 yeah, good catch up line hahahahaha

 Don't worry, it includes the soft tip. And the megaplug.

 You could use the pack for 4 hour rides maybe?

 I do realize this practice is considered pinkbike heresy.

 dude you nailed it! I was like hanging on them and thinking 'I saw these before' it is like a MacGyver shit no use in winter UK whatsoever hahaha

 Sounds like you have off season or love somewhere nice. My phone has a solid 12-14 hour batter life, that drops to 30 minutes in my chest pocket 3 layers deep when I'm on the fatbike and it's -7 in the dark, in the woods outside of chicago.

 @Glenngineer: youre a better man than me! there is literally nothing in this world that I love to do that I'll do at -7 in the dark!

 @chawski: Honestly... give it a try sometime. You see the trails you love in a whole new light, or lack of light. The riding is fun, in a not fun, this is brutal way, but you get a different sense of accomplishment. It's also just plain beautiful. Fresh snow, full moon night riding is stunning.

 @chawski: XC skiing is best at -20 in the dark

 It’s no 4Runner but it’ll get you unstuck, ha!

 @danielsapp: Love my Ridgeline. Would take it over a 4Runner any day!

 Only in America...
