• Can I leave the knives in?

    I don't want something heavy/bulky like leather. I wonder what the lightest but most abrassion resistant material is? Where's @Chopsicle when you need him? :)

    I could just find another thick plastic shopping bag. Reduce Reuse Recycle

  • I use 1L dry bags for this sort of thing, though I'm not doing anything as gooch-destroying as you. For audax/touring I have two: one with medical-adjacent stuff in and one with tools that are additional to my normal ride tools

    tricky question; there's some super-light cuben fibre/Dyneema/aramid-fibre stuff which is technically highly abrasion resistant, but prone to punctures. Plus it's so light, anything dense jiggles about, and needs securing. I'd say you need a mix of a fabric with a bit of body to it, the durability, plus stability.

    Skinny has a good point too about something big enough (and light coloured!) to lay parts/equipment on while fixing, so you don't leave anything behind.

    Insane idea would be a dynema wallet thing with inflatable section; lash the roll onto the bike, few pumps and it makes it super secure and stops tools rattling....
