This is JUS.
I'd like to introduce some items that I've been using for recent trail rides and at the recent OMM BIKE, as they have been performing exceptionally well.
At first glance, it looks like an ankle band for keeping your pant legs tucked in, but it’s actually a product that allows you to bundle and secure items like a tire tube and multi-tool to your bike frame. With a rich variety of colors available—black, red, green, orange, and blue—you can even choose one to match your frame color.
The velcro strap features a built-in secondary strap for securing a tube or tools inside, which is extremely convenient.
The side of the strap that attaches to the frame has a non-slip material sewn onto it, so it won’t shift even during aggressive riding. I actually used this RockBand Strap during the aforementioned OMM BIKE, as well as on several downhill trail rides, and it never slipped once.
It can be attached anywhere—the top tube, down tube, seat tube, etc.—which is a nice feature because you can position it somewhere where it won't get in the way when you need to carry your bike. It’s especially recommended for bikes equipped with dropper posts that can't take a saddlebag, or full-suspension bikes where a frame bag is difficult to mount.
By sandwiching items like tire levers or CO2 cartridges with the tire tube like this, you get an even better hold, and if you get a flat, you can perform repairs without needing to take off your backpack or open your saddlebag.
The ability to add storage space to small frames or tight areas on an MTB frame, and to reduce even a little bit of the load in your backpack, is a major benefit for trail riding.
At ¥852 (excl. tax), the price is also very reasonable, making it an item worth trying!
And speaking of Granite Design, there's also this!
This is a foldable, simple stand that inserts into a Hollowtech-type crank spindle. It also comes with a dedicated storage pouch.
The best thing about this Hex Stand is that you can turn the crank while the bike is mounted on it! With its lightweight aluminum body, it’s also suitable for travel, allowing you to perform maintenance, adjust shifting, or wash your bike on-site at race venues or trail parks.
For Shimano Hollowtech-style road cranks, you can use this stand by installing the included left crank cap bolt.
The height is adjustable by 65mm, supporting bikes with a BB height of up to 400mm.
It will be a huge help during the winter cyclocross season and the upcoming trail park season, and it's also great for home maintenance!
You can also try mounting your own bike on it at the shop, so please don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks!
