Most of the time I’m riding at a local bike park. A lot of kids have bikes that need basic maintenance and they have nobody to help. I started to bring an air pump, glueless patch kit, tire tools, a 15mm wrench, adjustable wrench, allen key set Park chain cleaner and some good chain lube.

Since I threw in the Tire Armor inserts I quit carrying a pump except on longer rides.

I have a wrench that fits everything except the front tire ( has extra slots ) and a wrench that fits the front tire.

I bike multi tool ( Allen wrenches, Phillips+ Flathead screwdrivers, some small mm sockets )

A battery powered pump.

Zipties and hose clamps.

I’ll try to remember to take a photo, feel free to remind me. I’m sure I’m missing a few items.

Pump, tube, CO2, spare cartridge, patch kit, levers, tire boot patch, spare missing link, 2 shrunken paper towel tablets (just add a bit of water to expand), $5, and a multitool.

A little multi tool hex and screwdriver setup that fits in my under seat pouch, a spare tube, and a mini pump (I don’t like CO2). Haven’t had to change a tube during a race yet but it’s bound to happen eventually.

A knife, folding saw, pump, patch kit, tire levers, hex keys, screw driver and a bit kit, chain breaker, inner tube, masterlinks, duct tape, zip ties, pruning shears, flashlight, head torch, a lighter, water filter …

I’m probably forgeting some stuff too

In the city? Nothing but the U-lock and coil.

Longer rides away from infrastructure? Hand pump, wrench set, patch kit, and water bottle.

I always carry:

• Spare tube
• tubeless plug set
• multitool with a chain breaker on it
• CO2 inflator
• tyre levers
• a little dry lube

If I’m on a longer ride I’ll forego the CO2 in preference of a lever - CO2 is only ever a “just get me home” type deal!
