Usefull things to keep in your riding pack

We’ve all been in this position, end up breaking something on your bike with it be your derailleur or your chain. Of course if you’ve ever been in the position changing your role to a trail mechanic you know its very hard to repair a bike without the proper tools and a handy bike maintainence stand.

You cant prepare for every eventuality but here’s a list of a few essentials worth packing in your bag.

• Pocket multitool with all allen keys required for you bike and even your mates if your that carefull!
• A few spare innertubes, make sure they are the correct size and valve for your bike for example presta or shrada.
• Zip ties! These are great but often underestimated. They can hold components in place for example a broken seat post bolt, a zip tie could replace the bolt while you ride home.
• Monies! Think about a tenner, could always get you a taxi home or a quick repair from the local bike shop.

Just a few things for you to consider, some of you might think im stating the obvious, but for many a good bit of advice, but chin up your not going to have an incident are you? haha.

Safe Riding
