Every Day Carry (EDC), and new Fumpa Pump

[DaveMatthews]

EDC... and a new bike pump...

Well here's the stuff that has found its way into the trunk bag over time...




And here's the new guy. A Fumpa pump. Will do Presta or Schrader, up to 120psi. 0-100psi in 25 seconds (700x23c), and it'll do up to 6 tires on one charge.



And here's the list of stuff after culling the CO2, adapters, extra wrenches, and bacon strips.



The new pump is not for weight weenies, but on an ebike what the heck.





Does psi, bar, kpa. 380 grams.
Tucked in with a rag for cleaning the potential work location...



No need to expand the trunk bag



For people worried about weight there's a mini Fumpa. It'll do 2 tires to 100psi, and is Presta only. 190 grams.
What's your every day carry?

Nice setup Dave! Looks like you’re all set for a worry-free ride. Ditching the strips for the dart….good call especially if you suffer a side puncture.

Thanks mate!
I'm sure there's some other trinkets I can add, but the pump really helps complete the kit.

My bike is a daily driver, so I've got quite a different kind of kit. Beyond flat repair, I like to be able to fix any common thing. especially on a bike that can't fit on even an extended truck bed. The bike in this case is a cargo bike: A Bullitt. This type of bike is known as a 'frontloader' or a 'bakfiets' and is very common in Europe. The benefit of a bike like this is you can load it up to 400 + lbs and it suffers no loss of stability, unlike a mid- or longtail.

Anyway... its a big bike and it has to keep rolling day in and day out on city streets. I have a tool area with two pouches. These pouches themselves have inner pouches as if I hit the store they go inside with me in the bottom of my shopping cart (over $100 worth of gear here), so I want to be able to just pull them out and toss them into my cart.

You see cords as the bike is in my office garage and I am charging the battery and the headlights.

Here's whats in the left pack. Whether I am in my comfy garage or sitting on the curb under a streetlight, I use the tools in my on-bike kit. I want to be comfortable with whatever I am working with in bad conditions. The motorcycle tire iron is emergency-only as the Park levers should do the trick. The T25 wrench is required by my Magura brakes. The needlenose pliers are for pulling something sharp/jagged out of a tire with something besides my fingers. Yes I have too many hex keys. The knife is because you never know when you need one. That pump is a high volume pump that is being replaced by something smaller that will fit in the bag... and its just a backup because ...

This is the contents of the bag on the right:

My primary emergency pump is a 48v compressor that runs directly off my ebike battery (doesn't use any power to speak of). Because this bike is a mid drive, and I don't care to be stranded, I could use the chainbreaker and master links to repair the existing (mid-drive-strength) chain if it has an issue, or if things are very bad I can just replace it with this spare. Also in the bag is a packet of tire patches in case I tear up the tire casing (belted Schwalbe Marathon Pros so almost no chance of that happening) a sterile bandage wrap and... two hockey pucks. The bike stands on a dual center stand and two solid rubber hockey pucks will lift the wheels up off the ground for emergency service.

Its 102 today and an 8 ft long bike like this doesn't even fit onto a pickup truck bed. If stuff goes wrong it has to be dealt with directly.

Also note I have no tubes in the pack. I'm using an effectively flatless tire, with Tannus under that, and a thornproof tube under the Tannus, and Flatout sealant inside the tube. And a little air.

I carry a pump like this. Costs 5 bucks and pumps a tire no probs.
Your pump is $200plus. Playing guitar is doing you good.

The evolving EDC:

The pink thingies are Pedro's Mini Tire Levers (they also have a builtin valve core tool and space to carry quick links).

The mini sharpie is used to mark holes in tubes for patching.

Note I carry duct tape on the pump.

This a spare phone charger and a first aid kit are all I carry in the Topeak!

 

[m@Robertson]

The evolving EDC:

How are those Knipex wrenches compared to an adjustable crescent? Will they lock onto an axle bolt and be able to both loosen one and tighten it back to sufficient torque? I've halfway had my eye on them for a long time.

They are awesome and well worth the money. That is a mini rather than a full-size model.

Question on the security chain @m@Robertson, how long and who made it?

Question on the pump @DaveMatthews, what's the power source?

Question on the security chain @m@Robertson, how long and who made it?

Its a 2-meter noose chain. Pragmasis long link, with one of their motorcycle grade DIB locks. They are sold in the USA at lockitt.com. This one is 11mm which is a nice balance between being resistant to bolt cutters/angle grinders and sheer weight. I usually do two U locks, actually. More recent picture below The second one in the back is just there locking the wheel to the frame a second time to add another 2 minutes to an angle grinder attack.

The nice thing about long link chains is they are lighter per meter than short link chains but provide the same protection. Still not featherweight but when you are talking two meters of the stuff I will take what I can get.

I like that tube. I run tubeless obvs, but if the gash is big enough I wonder if a tube or a patch would be better. Good rig!

I get it. Nicely played!

Unfortunately at one time or another over the years I've needed all that stuff. If I were to order it by frequency of need... the patch kit, compressor, tire irons and needlenose pliers.

A never-ending lightweight compressor is just flat out a gift from God.

That is VERY cool!

I don't have any pictures at the moment, but I carry a couple of CO2 cartridges and a small manual pump as a backup. The Fumpa pump is tempting or maybe the one m@Robertson carries. I could ditch the manual pump, so the weight difference wouldn't be too much.

Question on the pump @DaveMatthews, what's the power source?

Power source is an internal Lion battery. 11.1V, 0.55AH, 6.1Wh
Recharged via micro USB, and that doesn't seem to take too long.

 

[m@Robertson]

The Luna pump is no longer sold, but I found one like it on Amazon. Only rub is you have to do your own connection for battery power. Wrote up what to do here:

A Lightweight Electric Emergency Bike Pump

Got an ebike? Use the big battery you are already lugging around to power a small portable pump.

I think I have four of these total now since I like to do a tool kit for a bike that never leaves that individual bike. They have gotten plenty of use (including a strip of roofing nails on a fat tubeless cargo bike that needed 4 refills before the sealant plugged all the holes) and have never failed me... but I still don't want to let go of the backup manual pump.
