10 Mountain Bike and Outdoor Products You May or May Not Need

With the broken collar bone keeping me off the bike, the time was right to reach into the product bin and show you guys some stuff. There are some pretty interesting mountain biking and outdoor products in this one, so I hope you enjoy it!
NOTE: On the Sci Con bag you're supposed to be able to pack your bike by simply "turning" the bars, not removing them. This didn't fit for me, even on my size small bike. I contacted Sci Con and they confirmed that my particular bag would require the removal of my bars, which was contrary to their instructions and marketing material. If their newer bags can successfully pack this way for mountain bikes it would be a leg up over the competition and warrant a better review. Some subscribers have confirmed with me that their triathlon bags do work perfectly with the bars on.

If you smear dielectric grease on the finger tips of any gloves, it will make them work on touch screens forever even after washing them. You only need a small amount and no it won't make you lose grip either. You can get it from auto parts stores, its used for electrical connectors.

@@stevenwaldon4469 Depends on how flexy and much of an drivetrain abuser the bike is, I managed to wear it very fast, but my bike wears all chains fast, I haven't noticed much difference performance with DLC & SL chains. i haven't tested it on my hardtail, but the SL chain worked well on my hardtail.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

The larger the pad, the more effective it is. Large surface area is important to generate the capacitive effect necessary for the touch screen to register the contact. If you cut it smaller, you reduce its effectiveness. It would make more sense to use a small fingertip wrap that has a little pointy stylus about 1/4" long.
