Re: Comment about how tough it is to get out of the steer tube. I have resorted to sliding my glove through the little loop to get some force on it to pull it out. Can't do it with fingers. It's been in and out a half dozen times so far - twice on the trail. My bike has the SRAM UDH (8mm), which means that this tool, along with a CO2 and tube/lever stored in the DT and a spare hanger strapped to my seat rails has me covered for most likely on trail mishaps. Feels very liberating to go without ANY pack on the trail, but I've never been a kitchen sink kind of guy - in fact I've certainly carried LESS than this, even with a Camebak on!
Garmin on the TT, and now I don't carry my phone. I need to remedy that, as solo rides are a lot less comfortable without some way to call home, even if home knows which trails I'll be riding.
