Attention! The saddlebag will go online on this Saturday, December 2nd, 7.00 am JST via www.morimono.jp Follow Morimono on instagram as well for more info instagram.com/morimono_jp/ Again, I'm not sponsored and won't make a singe dime if you buy one so don't buy one to support this channel, Only buy it if you think it will improve you own kit, and you want nothing but the best ;)
Hi! Morimono products look amazing but right now they're out of stock and it doesn't look they'll be available soon. Do you have any alternative to recomment that perhaphs is available in Europe? Thanks in advance and congratulations for the amazing videos. Cheers from Spain
I love these videos. All the weight saving is fascinating. Then I go ride with 10 pounds of gear because I'm paranoid about getting stranded without the things I need.
Your videos generally cost me money! I ordered and received the Daysaver 5 and 8. Small and fit together beautifully. Can confirm they work like real tools! Not flimsy or too lightweight to be strong and effective. Great addition to my saddlebag.
We’ve been doing this dance for a long time now. Here’s hoping that we can continue on this journey for a long while to come. I’ve learned so many things from you and I’m very grateful.
What I love about this channel, apart from the cinematography, is that although it is (mostly) about weight weenie stuff, it's just always so tasteful. And useful!
Fun fact: Parts permanently added to the bike is also counted as bike weight on the pro tour. Some teams actually screw in the bike computer to make the bike “heavier”
The butyl over the lezyne pump is absolutely genius, mine was always getting dirty after a few weeks of riding, with some grit/sand making its way there and making pumping not as smooth and had to clean the whole thing often. I'm definitely adopting this trick, thank you!
My favorite you tube channel, I've orderd the multitool and during my investigation of lightweight stuff I've discoverd the "Ipump" only 21grams from someone living in Japan.
Like others, I'm a little surprised you haven't checked out or added the iPump Micro. If it works well as a road pump, you can't beat the weight of that thing. Made in Japan too.👍
After watching your latest ERC-Kit Video I've had Insomnia (unrelated) and used my time to research if there is a Kit Combination out there that's lighter while still offering the same functionality, and guess what I ended up with (as virtual slayer of grams for one night): pretty much exactly what you have now 😂😂😂 There was one Combination which I thought was slightly lighter with Wolftooth EnCase (Chainbreaker + Tubeless repair Kit Combo 45g) but then I had to add 1 Large SKS Tirelever (11g) to be fair and still ended up with the Coworking 5 😅
great tip on using the innertube to prevent the pump from folding out. After watching your video on it, i bought the same one and the only downside i found was exactly that
You might like the Wera Bicycle Kit 15. It’s a small kit with 3 tyre levers, a 2.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6mm hex, and a Torx T25. The tyre levers stack together to form a handle that apparently is good for 20Nm. It’s also got other features like a valve ejector and a spoke tensioner I believe. It’s 46g.
I've had this tool for a year and loved it until the plastic hole where the bit attaches cammed out when trying to remove a 6mm through axle that I torque to 10Nm with anti seize. After caming out the bit would rotate in the hole which rendered the tool useless which cannot happen to a metal hex wrench. I no longer trust this tool for anything over say 5nm so I replaced it. Thankfully I was able to borrow a conventional 6mm hex which removed the axle easily. The wera also does not have the ability to easily add other bits like a t20 and t15.
Absolutely love your ERC videos (and all the other ones as well)! I’m going to order some of those Daysaver tools. You’re always ahead on all this weight saving but practical stuff. Thank you for sharing this.
I have the same pump and bought it with the bottle cage holder. Love the idea of using old innertube as a sleeve. I have been looking to see if I could get 2 clips that bolt directly into the second set of bolts to hold the pump instead of the second water bottle as I am doing much less distance than you, and know I can stop for a refill some place
I recommend looking into iPump. 29g micro pump with extending hose, I have no issues pumping 6bar with it. Will be great weight savings. It is a really nice piece of equipment also, with carbon/cnc alu construction!
Great kit and excellent production values - your vids are better looking all the time. That bag you have slung under the seat looks great so form fitting maybe it gives an aero gain. I saw research recently where a bike with a randonneur bag on the front of the handlebars was faster than without the bag. Aero gains can come from weird places (like putting a Camelback bag on your chest instead of back - a legal body “fairing” that some pros have actually started to employ!)
Wow that’s a heavy kit you have! 😜 Did you see my latest video on my super light EDC? (Was I your inspiration to lighten your kit?) My tool kit is 42g, (a few more tools than yours) 64g with chain splitter and it’s smaller. And my pump is only 21g 😎 My total kit (similar load out to yours) is about 148g! ☺️ Beautiful video as ever by the way. 👍🏻
It's starting to feel like we've put some miles behind us together, 'old friend.' I've been around since before the last ERC video, and long enough to believe that Peace is more than a just a parting word to you. I'm mostly tubeless now, and my tires are 32s. What world is this? I used the Daysaver in my roll from the drop. I've had to actually USE it, searching the gravel for the bits on the strange quiet roads of the Driftless region, aka 'the Coulees' -- near the native homeland of Trek. It was distressing enough for me that I carry my Topeak X-tool+ -- and nothing else -- if I know I'm likely to adjust something on a shorter ride 'around the local park'- bike paths around chain of lakes -- which nearly all of them are for me. Peace! I mean it!
My kit is exactly like yours! Well, except I have butyl tubes. And a Crank Bros multi-tool. And a Wolftooth Chain tool. And (the same) pump + CO2. And it weighs about 3x as much. But other than that, it's exactly the same! :-)
I was thinking the 2025 version might have an electric pump. Those are obviously still way too heavy from what I've seen, but might get closer to workable in 2 years.
The battery alone would already weigh too much. It would also be impractical in terms of redundancy as you might only get one or two tyres pumped up, compared to any number with a hand pump.
@@ridesofjapan some "stupid electric pumps" are lighter than 2 CO2 cartridges + adapter. And you don't need a pump either. Concerning running out of battery: they have USB-C, so if you have a phone with USB-C that can be used as power bank (iPhone 15 for example) you can always top it up worst case with a small USB-C to USB-C dongle
Hello RoJ - thank you for another great vid. The Daysaver tools look good and will even fit in my Arudel Pico (inspired by a longago previous edition methinks). Also convering to TPU tube now makes sense as my tubeless road set up seems more stable....famouse last words. Peace, bruvver!
Wouldnt a tubeless.set up encountering a puncture that causes a total loss of pressure need the fast pressure transfer of CO2 everytime? To seat the bead.
This video made me reevaluate my toolbag of a few years... Apparently I kept on sliding CR2032 batteries in it, it had THREE of them. One tubolito punctured, another unusable due to valve extension issues (possibly punctured as well). 2 pairs power links, partially rusted 🤬🤬 So apart from making me get the daysaver kit (love it, but I need to put it in the actual saddlebag and not keep it as a fidget toy on my desk) I now need to order more TPU tubes and power locks 😂
Been saying for a while that TPU tube storage options are limited, or nonexistent, especially since CO2 isn’t a great option for tubeless tires…plugs, TPU tube, mini tool, tiny pump all in the smallest saddle bag possible is the target right now. Awesome video!
Cool Video, being a WW myself, I have a similar kit, based on PB tools with custom bits. One thing surprised me though, that pump is way too heavy for your standards ;) I use Barbieri Nana Carbon pump, 35gr, suggested you check it out!
Super interesting! I need to pick up a DaySaver now! On my MTB I use a small Wolftooth Rolltop bag secured under my saddle with a Voile strap. Small, clean, weatherproof and secure. Levers, a tubolito, a cleat bolt. I use a OneUp EDC tool in the head tube - also small and light plus invisible on the bike. So - what's the purpose of the zip tie on your seat post? Greeting from Atlanta, Georgia, USA!
hey, if you want to go even lighter, you should really check out the Canyon 3 in 1 Tool,. It combines a small ratchet with a dynaplug and co2 inflator.
I carry a lot more (and used most of it at least once), the Topeak P20 and Topeak Roadie TT (together with a CO2 pump) are my recommendations. Also I would highly recommend to take at least 2 zipties I've used them for everything from fixing a broken shoe to fixing mudguards. But man stop with the Lezyne pump, they SUCK, I've had to throw away 3 of them, they all broke!
Hehe my ERC bag is 800 grams and I also carry a 300 gram first aid kit. And two spare tubes 50 grams each. And bike lock 1 kg. A total of 2200 grams. But still this is nothing compared with my laptop. 😀 Btw. I have ruined a lot of pumps which was attached to my frame. Now I carry it in my bag. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Have you looked at the iPump? it's a 30gram pump. I've only had to use it twice but it worked well to get me back on the road pumping up a 28c tire. That frees up an extra 60 grams from your pump!
Your usual insightful video. You should consider CYCPLUS Tiny Cube Bike Pump. It beats the canisters and less time pumping, hence less potential damage to the valve
a truly next level minimalist setup. i need to check out your new multi tool. i have currently been using a Fix Manufacturing Wheelie Wrench Pro. It's also incredibly minimalist but offers a ton of versatility. Its biggest flaw is that the integrated tire level is not nylon and also shares the common flaw with your setup in those very rare occasions when you might need some pliers to pull a thorn or wire out of a tire. That's less problematic on tubeless though.
Another +1 for the CYCPLUS mini pump. It's lighter than 2 CO2 cartridges and an inflator. I fly several times a year and despise the hassle of going through x-ray machines. The CYCPLUS has worked on 2 flats (neither were my own) and can happily tell the check-in staff that ***NO***, I am not carrying CO2.
The daysaver 8 looks amazing. I recently got myself a new tool for basically that feature set (also got two tyre levers) and it's 85g. Granted, it was cheap, but 70g for your combo is really nice.
An obvious upgrade to your set would be Airbone Supernova pump that weights just 59 grams. It is so ridiculously good that I’ve just posted about it in my blog (the link is in my channel profile)
My experience with the Leznye pumps is that the thread wears out quickly and I got 2 times when the valve top got stuck in the pump hose top... only way to get it off of the wheel was to break off the valve tip, both wasting the pump and the tube... Had this twice, so that was 80€ wasted, I've switched to TopPeak now, also small & light, only used once, so too early to rate. Also using a lezyne trackpump (the one for tubeless...) also for that onthe the thread is already wearing out quickly...
My tools are similar weights, but i use a far bigger bag so i can pack it full of little zip lock bags containing sugar and salt (which i add to water as my prinary ride food) and a little bit of sunblock)
I’m currently using the smallest SpeedSleev @ 42g. Perhaps I’m due a upgrade? 😊 I found a Syncros multitool, though 116g, it has everything I need and everyone else I run into. Upgrade time? I’m still a CO2 user, thought the whole set, inflator, canister and rubber sleeve is just 85g. I do have a mini pump for the longer rides, I’m gonna use that tube hack of yours, and will add an additional TPU tube. I’m at 290g total, without the mini pump/second TPU tube. But just to be safe, I throw in a tire lever w/a few wraps of duct tape, small cable ties, wipes, and $20 cash, for an additional penalty of 25g.
I carry a Barbieri Nana pump (the iPump is lighter but borderline useless IMO), 2 RideNow TPU inner tubes (24g version), and a 6mm titanium allen key from a Chinese brand called "Wedu" in a Gobik saddle bag and it adds up to 134 grams. With the Morimono bag that would come down to 116 grams ...
Been following ur vids for a while & love them! My own kit weighs in @ 141g..minus e pump, which I too am ocd - need to know e exact psi thus e Lezyne Digital Pressure Drive hand pump attached behind my bottle cage. (Or if u have an even lighter, smaller recommendations?) Anyway, was out on my ride recently & my chain managed to pop out of e jockey wheel. Which made me realise e 1 tool I didn't have - quick link pliers. Could have used e chain breaker (part of e coworking5) w spare links. But that would mean I needed to change a new chain when I got home. Fortunately a mate had a plier tool & that saved my ride. Opened & re-routed e chain thru & was able continue on my journey. So if u have any lightweight & mini (10 x 3cm) plier tool to recommend, please do share! 😁
I have the exact same kit except for the standard dynaplug racer and an 8g tyvek pouch. I put it in my middle jersey pocket as I mount an exposure rear light on my saddle rails. Although if there's a RoJ discount code for the morimono bag......
Hi :) Nice video! Since you live in Japan, I was wondering why you haven't yet switched to the Japanese-made ipump mirco with only 21 g or the ipump twist with 26 g :)
Hey RoJ, thanks for the video. Never heard of Daysaver until now. Looks awesome, but it doesn't have a tool to open a chain quick link. I presume you don't expect having to open one on the road?
Try using a keg container. This way you can put a couple of paper towels, zip ties, etc. along with anything else, and you won't need to strap anything to back of your seat.
For me personally, In the summer here double water bottles is a must. I still use a keg now when we hit the cooler months of the year, but I use them for extra layers of clothing.
For me, a big advantage of a keg is that it is totally waterproof. That bag is beautiful and although the material is waterfproof, looking at the opening, I'd be surprised if it didn't let in water. Not a problem if you don't ride in the rain, but being UK based, that's a reality of life.

BC Valve Adapter Presta to SV: let’s you use the air at a gas station. Weighs nothing. Costs $2. Good addition to having a pump.
Good point. I have one installed on my rear wheel as a just-in-case solution.

You definitely want to do the former when attempting the latter.
We’ve been doing this dance for a long time now. Here’s hoping that we can continue on this journey for a long while to come. I’ve learned so many things from you and I’m very grateful.
That's exactly how I feel.
The inner tube over the pump is a great tip! More grip + prevents it from rattling around
Use latex tubes for that extra amount of protection! Just in case.
What I love about this channel, apart from the cinematography, is that although it is (mostly) about weight weenie stuff, it's just always so tasteful. And useful!
My budget solution includes just the few hex wrenches that my bike needs, held together with an elastic band.
10:21 Genius! I’m stealing this Idea for my oneup pump!
Fun fact: Parts permanently added to the bike is also counted as bike weight on the pro tour. Some teams actually screw in the bike computer to make the bike “heavier”
The Japanese made iPump Micro is 21gr, quite a quality bit of kit too.
Agreed the 25.4g one with a handle is worth the grams though.
and it works with TPU tubes (in my case aerothan) that doesn't have threaded stems
Never heard of the daysaver brand, thats a really clean solution (albeit pretty pricey)!
The butyl over the lezyne pump is absolutely genius, mine was always getting dirty after a few weeks of riding, with some grit/sand making its way there and making pumping not as smooth and had to clean the whole thing often. I'm definitely adopting this trick, thank you!
It's been said before, but you are one sick puppy. In the sweetest way ❤
You read my mind. I was looking at your old video. And thinking I need to make one of these.

That saddle bag is really nice piece
Tobi, another banger.
I thought I was a genius by switching to TPU Tubes and saving 400g.
But you're on another level.
Delighted to see this pop up first on my feed

Btw. I have ruined a lot of pumps which was attached to my frame. Now I carry it in my bag.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Have you looked at the iPump? it's a 30gram pump. I've only had to use it twice but it worked well to get me back on the road pumping up a 28c tire. That frees up an extra 60 grams from your pump!
Your usual insightful video. You should consider CYCPLUS Tiny Cube Bike Pump. It beats the canisters and less time pumping, hence less potential damage to the valve
It would be too risky on a really long ride to rely on that pump. Battery life isn't enough to get you through worst case scenario.
Also more tubeless sealant friendly than CO2. But the lack of redundancy on a long ride is concerning.
Love my cycplus. Added benefit is I can fly with it. US airlines don't allow co2.
I want that saddlebag in time for christmas 😋
I ordered essential8 and coworking5 bundle before I finished watching this video, i hate you :D

The big downside of putting the pump at the side of the downtube is that it's not aero!

Had this twice, so that was 80€ wasted, I've switched to TopPeak now, also small & light, only used once, so too early to rate. Also using a lezyne trackpump (the one for tubeless...) also for that onthe the thread is already wearing out quickly...
My tools are similar weights, but i use a far bigger bag so i can pack it full of little zip lock bags containing sugar and salt (which i add to water as my prinary ride food) and a little bit of sunblock)
Have you been thinking about the iPump? Made in Japan
Get rid of that pump cage. Throw it in your pocket.
If you crash with a pump in your pocket it can really hurt you.

This video is outstanding!
I’m currently using the smallest SpeedSleev @ 42g. Perhaps I’m due a upgrade? 😊 I found a Syncros multitool, though 116g, it has everything I need and everyone else I run into. Upgrade time? I’m still a CO2 user, thought the whole set, inflator, canister and rubber sleeve is just 85g. I do have a mini pump for the longer rides, I’m gonna use that tube hack of yours, and will add an additional TPU tube. I’m at 290g total, without the mini pump/second TPU tube. But just to be safe, I throw in a tire lever w/a few wraps of duct tape, small cable ties, wipes, and $20 cash, for an additional penalty of 25g.
Why not just the back pocket for the mini pump?
BOY I WANT THIS MULTITOOL
Another great video. Thanks
I carry a Barbieri Nana pump (the iPump is lighter but borderline useless IMO), 2 RideNow TPU inner tubes (24g version), and a 6mm titanium allen key from a Chinese brand called "Wedu" in a Gobik saddle bag and it adds up to 134 grams. With the Morimono bag that would come down to 116 grams ...
Been following ur vids for a while & love them! My own kit weighs in @ 141g..minus e pump, which I too am ocd - need to know e exact psi thus e Lezyne Digital Pressure Drive hand pump attached behind my bottle cage. (Or if u have an even lighter, smaller recommendations?)
Anyway, was out on my ride recently & my chain managed to pop out of e jockey wheel. Which made me realise e 1 tool I didn't have - quick link pliers.
Could have used e chain breaker (part of e coworking5) w spare links. But that would mean I needed to change a new chain when I got home.
Fortunately a mate had a plier tool & that saved my ride. Opened & re-routed e chain thru & was able continue on my journey.
So if u have any lightweight & mini (10 x 3cm) plier tool to recommend, please do share! 😁
I bought all of this! And absolutely love it… everything except for the pump. Did you figure out a new one yet? 😎🙏
Check out Bontrager Air Rush bike pump. Its smaller and has a Co2 inflator inside. It has a advertised weight of 72g
Not keep on the pump on the bike, maybe above the seat tube bottle? Or and this is crazy, in rear jersey pocket?
where is the quick patch case from? i need one in my life
I have the exact same kit except for the standard dynaplug racer and an 8g tyvek pouch. I put it in my middle jersey pocket as I mount an exposure rear light on my saddle rails. Although if there's a RoJ discount code for the morimono bag......
Crafty! Thank you!
Hi :) Nice video! Since you live in Japan, I was wondering why you haven't yet switched to the Japanese-made ipump mirco with only 21 g or the ipump twist with 26 g :)
I’ve missed you
I always carry two tubes after experiencing a double impact blow out once, and patches for redundancy.
I want that bag. Do I need it? No, I am to fat. But you do not buy for now but for the future!
You can save 65g 😉 with a different mini pump
Hey RoJ, thanks for the video. Never heard of Daysaver until now. Looks awesome, but it doesn't have a tool to open a chain quick link. I presume you don't expect having to open one on the road?
Try using a keg container. This way you can put a couple of paper towels, zip ties, etc. along with anything else, and you won't need to strap anything to back of your seat.
For me personally, In the summer here double water bottles is a must. I still use a keg now when we hit the cooler months of the year, but I use them for extra layers of clothing.
For me, a big advantage of a keg is that it is totally waterproof. That bag is beautiful and although the material is waterfproof, looking at the opening, I'd be surprised if it didn't let in water. Not a problem if you don't ride in the rain, but being UK based, that's a reality of life.
@ridesofjapan I'm in Seattle, so it's rarely necessary to carry two bottles!
I need to pare down my ERC kit. No need to carry the same multi tool as my bikepacking trips
Love those videos :D
