  1. What are people bringing to Moab uni wise? I'm trying to figure out what
    I should bring, and what I don't need. Right now I'm looking at
    bringing the 26er, my trials and maybe if I have room/weight
    permitting, my bc wheel. Then my camel pack (which I should probably
    clean since I havn't used it since the summer), some extra seat bits, a
    spare tube for the 26er, some tools and a camera that semi works. Well
    besides the basics.

    Is there anything else I'm leaving out? What else are people bringing,
    is it worth bringing the bc wheel? Are there any other things that tend
    to break alot at Moabs?

  2. I am bringing a bc. I rode mine a little last year. It is fun to have
    stuff to play around on at the dinner on saturday. I'm bringing my muni
    and trials uni too and a bunch of spare parts.
    We are driving though so I am less limited with space (I assume you are
    flying).

    Yeah I'm flying in, but I'm aloud a fair amount of luggage so I don't
    see why it should be too bad. I need to figure out a way to keep my
    brakes safe though.

  4. Frankly, unless you're a crazy BC guy, or you're driving and so don't
    have to carry the thing on the airplane with you, I wouldn't bother
    with the BC. You'll ride it maybe once.

    I'm bringing my KH XC (24x2.6"😉 with 165mm cranks, a 3-liter Camelbak,
    my standard repair kit (Alien tool, patch kit, stupid Profile crank
    bolt Allen key, spoke wrench, probably a spare tube this time because I
    have a slow leak, pump), my full-on armor suit (Active Ankles, 661,
    Harbinger, KH elbow pads), camera (Canon PowerShot S2 IS), tripod.

  8. I'm bringing my Wilder. I'm thinking about bringing my Carbon MUni for
    the competition events, but don't know if it will be useful or not. So
    don't know yet if I want to hassle with the extra cycle (and weight).

    Then I always bring:
    - Camelbak
    - Kneepads
    - Leg armor (kneepads for light riding, armor for the hard stuff)
    - Gloves
    - Helmet
    - Tools: allen wrenches, small pedal wrench, 10mm box wrench, maybe a
    ratchet with 10, 13 and 14mm sockets, maybe my crank tool for people
    with cotterless cranks, tire irons
    - Spare tube(s)
    - Minipump
    - Layers of clothing to wear

    If you're going to Moab, especially if you've never been there, make
    sure you read the *entire* web site, especially the advisories about
    weather, water and food. You're in a desert environment. It could go
    from 30 degrees in the morning to 80 in the afternoon. Dress in layers!
    It might rain. And you absolutely *must* bring water on all rides, and
    food for the longer ones. Don't rely on others! A phone is nice to have
    also, if you have one. Most seem to work on the Slickrock trail, as the
    back part of the loop is very close to town.

  15. The current number of signups allows me to use one of my favorite

    If you really wanted to know, by now you will have searched. If you
    don't want to search, well, whatever. Type this into your search engine
    of choice: moab muni fest.

    More items I'm bringing:
    - Sunscreen(!)
    - My book of Moab trails (purchased last time)
    - Cameras
    - Maybe my laptop. Then again, maybe a tripod instead...

    Not seriously. I just love the sound of the word. Ottantotto. I bet
    they put 88 keys in the pianoforte just so they could say it more
    often.
