Local rides consist of 1 tube (tubeless) 2 x C02's, multitool and 2 levers I check my pads every few rides anyway and whip em out and clean up takes seconds to do, but as for multiday rides I'd carry a spare set of pads for sure or replace with a new set before the trip, no real mither to swap out a...

Anyone used or have one they can comment on, reviews look good for the price and the size seems to be spot on for a solo outing. Weight wise coming in around the same as the DD superlight but think it comes without pegs etc. Dog chewed the corner of my DD superlight after a back garden overnighter t...
