Ah, a tool pod, tool tube or tool holder - thanks for the links. Don't know if what bmcphx uses is a product he bought or something made - but doesn't matter. If I want one now I know where to look.
rekmeyata, I bought the hype and glad I did. Like I said I can get 100 psi out of it and it does take some work. Biking is work, that's kind of the idea for me, get a scenic workout. Your video search must have missed this one -
Certainly the iPump Micro is not for everyone, but it does work as advertised and no better pump option that I know of that will fit in a 5" seat bag if you place it diagonally.

BUT, it does look like an interesting pump, I guess if someone carries their pump in their seat bag as you do or in their rear jersey pocket it would probably be a great pump for those purposes, but at $80 I think it's overpriced since there isn't anything really revolutionary or ultra high tech about it, but I'm a tightwad and get my pumps on sale, I didn't spend over $30 each even for the most expensive one.
I'm thinking why not make a pump with a small servo motor that would pump your tire up with a push of a button and a AA battery or two to power it?

I feel kind of ashamed of myself for spending so much money for just a jacket, after all I am a tightwad, but I needed a rain jacket, so I got a Voler clear rain jacket that with the coupon cost me $11.99 plus shipping.

Have you seen this pump ? It only weighs 45 grams and is wayyy cheaper than the iPump Micro. i have one and seems pretty robust. And fits easily into my jersey pocket.

Thanks for posting this amazing find. After seeing it, I'm definitely putting it on my wish list and will be ditching my saddle bag. Although I do like the Lezyne Road Caddy as it's hardly even noticeable but this thing is freaking awesome.
Senior Member
it does not come with all that stuff obviously... but that's pretty much what I put in it (minus mini pump) but I carry 2 CO2s instead.. it's under a pound without my Iphone6 in it... First ride yesterday and it's really not too noticeable... gets kinda thick with the iPhone in it though..so a tight squeeze in my jersey pocket, but does lay pretty flat on the back.

How water resistant do you think it is? I mean, if you get caught in a downpour, do you feel it'd keep your stuff dry, especially the phone?
Senior Member
don't know.. it's leather so it should be pretty resistant... not like it's gonna to rain in Northern Cal, we are stuck in a drought.

I'm also wondering how easy it would be to run earbuds into the phone.

It would not be the tightness of the jersey itself... but rather the size of the pocket on the jersey. I don't wear headphones on the bike.. so no comment on that... smaller phone might not be an issue.

I try not to carry objects in my jersey that would impale me or damage my backbone should I fall. I prefer saddle bag.

^ I've had a WF laptop bag for years... yes they are really good stuff. The pouch is pretty solid as well... I don't think you have to worry about getting impaled by anything in it. It's nice to look at my bike sans saddlebag for a change.... I'm liking it so far.. Will have to see when it really get hot out here.. only 80 right now. Im doing a century soon.. so that will be the real long test.

I bought some cheap michelin tires 23c for the road bike because the last tires had a half inch slice in it.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to get a new front tire. Ordered a Kenda 830 with K-Shield - 700 x 35c, and put it on. I took a look at the bike, admiring the new tire, and decided it now needed a matching rear tire. So I ordered another one (but without the K-Shield this time) for the rear. While admiring the tires I noticed the rim was just a tad out of round. So I go online-shopping for a new wheel, and then I remember that my cassette is very old and wobbles a little on the freehub. Might as well get a complete assembly, right?
Just got it all back on the road yesterday.
But now I'm thinking about pulling the rear end off tomorrow, adjusting the bearing cone tension, and adding extra grease. (Didn't have the cone wrench or grease yesterday.)
The moral of the story? Beware that little purchase that you believe you can easily afford. It can start something.
