Cycling products, for when you want to go fast.

more_vert
The products in this community are focused on activities like camping, backpacking, hiking. Cycling is sport or activity (depending on who you ask) which also benefits from the Ultralight ideal. There are locks, tubes, reflectors, shoes, pedals (standard, strap, clip), brakes, chain, gears, maintenance tools and products and more that apply to this. It is my hope that cycling related products are welcomed by the community in the future, from commuters as myself to die-hard cyclists.
Feel free to leave comments and share your opinion.

Great response so far, I am keeping a close eye on this conversation. I ride a 2012 Masi Evoluzione that I've built up with SRAM Rival components and I wish I could have done that shopping here!
Much of what's been mentioned in terms of products would fall into the Accessories category, generally. I am curious to know if members would be interested in...
* Components; Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo, etc. What if we could only do this in complete sets, like Drivetrain Bundle or Brakes Bundle? * Frames; anyone want to build a bike, or more interested in complete setups? * Expendables; when you need a chain or a tire (or tyre, for some of you) would you buy them from us ahead of time knowing there is a wait, or do you just grab those locally because OMG FINALLY SUNSHINE GOTTA RIDE RIGHT NOW! <-- that's what is happening in CA right now

I've seen 2-3 bike items drop since this conversation. I joined a drop for some gloves last week. I bought a lock a good while back too. A few of them have been happening. Not sure if they're getting good results on the drops or not though.

HeeftyI'll definitely check for them. It would be cool if they sold enough to have it's own community.

Bike panniers, or any bike-mount bags, would be good

I'd love to see a cycling community under the new Outdoors Hub. Drops that could be useful to both bikepackers and ultralight backpackers could be cross-marketed...

Will keep this in mind @WJGhouse . I think Outdoors will allow us some more flexibility in products. Though, I see bikepacking and ultralight backpacking closely aligned in needs and more possibility there too. What companies would you all like to see here?

DannyMilksThings that ultralight backpackers and bicycle tourists/bikepackers might share in common include shelters/hammocks, sleep systems, and cooking stuff. Both would benifit from lower weight and volume. Clothing, gloves, shoes are all pretty specific. Except maybe everyone can agree that merino tee shirts are da bomb ...
Shelters Big Agnes - Their Fly Creek UL 1 is a pretty common site on the long trails Lightheart Gear - Made in USA - I have their Solo and love it. The SoLong is a bit roomier TarpTent - Also made in USA - Their Notch and Moment are neat designs Six Moons Design
Hammocks - (Besides Eno, Hennessy and Warbonnet) Butt In A Sling - Weight Weenie Dutchware - The new Chameleon Hammock is worth looking at Simply Light Designs - Streamliner SL
Quilts - 30° & 40° top quilts are popular among ultralight backpackers whether or not they hang, and bikepackers ought to be interested in saving weight and bulk this way. Hammockgear Enlightened Equipment Jacks R Better
Pads - (I love what yer doing with Klymet ....) Exped Klymet Thermorest - Neoair Xlite (The Women's model is an interesting version any gender should appreciate
Cook pots - Mostly in the 600-700ml range but maybe larger options for couples Evernew Snow Peak
Stoves - Small lightweight canister stoves. lightweight alcohol stoves. Folding wood stoves... Maybe drop something more cold wx worthy in fall for winter camping ... MSR - PocketRocket 2, Superfly, WindPro II Fire Maple - FMS-116t - Back when I was first planning a long hike, BackpackingLight was raving about the Monatuak Gnat as the lightest canister stove on the market. Made by Fire Maple in China and rebadged. Monatauk is closed, but Fire Maple still makes it and lots of folks rebadge it.
Spoons - Long-handled, titanium to get to the bottom of the pot, and to scrape it clean when done. Toaks Vargo Sea-to-Summit
Dry bag stuff sacks - 10- 15 liter bags for food/bear bagging, clothing, sleeping bags Sea to Summit - Ultra-Sil Nano Dry Zpacks - Dyneema/Cuben Fiber roll-top bags
Cup - Shirley a violation of all Orthodox UL Laws and Customs. But ... Kupilka - I love the Kulpilka 21 my son gave me as I was leaving for the AT ...
Things specific to bicyclists ... Not as familiar nor up to date. Old-school front and rear panniers, and handlebar bags in updated, light, waterproof designs. New, hip bikepacking under-seat, frame, and handlebar bags would be worth a survey or 10 ... Tools, water bottles, helmets, gloves, shorts, shoes, pedals, lights, jerseys! (I'd buy a MassDrop cycling jersey!) Handlebar mounts for smartphones ...
Thanks for all you do! L Dog

Don't forget those of us that enjoy bikepacking that would enjoy lightweight bags for the purpose!

Bedrock Bags, Revelate Designs, and Apidura all seem like good brands with good quality product. Been waiting for a deal before pulling the trigger on them though.

I'll throw in my support to introduce an additional category for cycling. I've recently purchased a number of items from the 'ultralight' forum to support my habit of bike touring and bikepacking. There is a lot of overlap for these communities, and there are many additional things that cyclists purchase that could fit well within the Massdrop community. Thanks for the consideration!

YES! I actually emailed Massdrop a year or so ago and asked them to consider a triathlon community. Obviously no answer, but I would still love to see some of the gear that I utilize in my beloved sport show up here. If Ultralight is the only way to get it done, I still say "YES!"
