Collective Favourites - All the favourite on-ride spares and tools

New favourites category time… We hinted on this one in last week’s GW pod, where we talked about the tools and spares we carry on our rides. So now, I’d like to hear what you carry. Are you like Dave and opt for individual tool kits for each bike, and carry only one Pedro’s tyre lever? Or are you more of a kitchen-sink type rider?

Form to submit your faves is over here, or feel free to also comment them below.

The biggest improvement to my spare kit in the past ten years has been the TPU tube. Far more compact and lighter than a butyl or latex tube. Lets me use much smaller bags.

Where’s that form link?

It was still on my clipboard, now in post :slight_smile:

I have one of those small Continental saddle bags that comes with a tube and tire levers. I pulled out the tube and levers and load in the following:

  • Tubolito TPU Tube
  • Silca Electtrico Mini Inflator
  • Daysaver Essential 8 Multi-Tool
  • Park Tool Boot
  • Dynaplug Racer Plug Kit
  • Small Flat Valve Core Tool (leftover from when i used to use a Lezyne pump)
  • No Levers (but the ones that come with the Continental saddle bag are very compact)

It’s super compact and has everything I need.
