What should I carry on day trips for emergencies? That's about covers my kit, except that I still carry a hand pump (catalog.alamedabicycle.com/product/…). I find it works quite well even with presta valves, and the high volume/high pressure modes actually allow filling a new tube to a reasonable air pressure in no time. |

Does the chain direction make a difference? If it's long enough after the question is asked, you can post the answer you figured out. |

Non U-Lock that can be mounted for carrying? I wouldn't lump the cable locks with the heavy chains. Since the chain doesn't need the metal to be flexible, it can be made from much harder and stronger steel than cables. The weakest part in chain locks is usually the lock itself, and if you get a tiny U-lock, that's pretty secure. Might be as heavy as your bike, but it is much better than a cable. |

Non U-Lock that can be mounted for carrying? Cable locks take about 5 seconds to cut with a small tool, I wouldn't lock anything I care about with one of those. |

Non U-Lock that can be mounted for carrying? Might also be worth noting that since it folds so small, it might fit in much more places than even the smallest U-locks. |
