06 Feb 08 - Accessories on a budget...

I’m a bit of a boy scout when it comes to being prepared for both the inevitable and the unknown but I’m also a bit of a miser out of necessity. So here is what I have put together for the bike.

Under saddle tool bag – Huffy Brand - $9:00 from BigW. Kmart does cheapies also..

Couple of spare tubes. - $15

Topeak Hexus 16 multi-tool - $40

Topeak Mini MasterBlaster pump - $20

Set of plastic bike levers from Big W - $6

Chain Links $3 from any LBS (Local Bike Store).

A basic setup but enough to get you going..

If you're after a Backpack, check out the range at Anaconda. They do a great Fluid brand cycling backpack with support frame and built in hydration back for under $40. (You can actually pick this up for about $25 during member specials)..
