When we set out for a ride there is always the expectation that it will be fun and enjoyable. But we should also be ready for the unexpected. Once in a while things go wrong on a bike ride and if you have brought with you the right items the question will be minimized and short lived. Here are the most foremost tools every rider should take with them on every ride.
Bike Pump
Rack Frames 19
Always, always bring a small bike pump. The best ones mount or clip to the frame of the bike. Be sure to test it to make sure it is working before you take off. Make sure the hose is not cracked and air pumps through.
Tire Patch Kit
Long with the pump you should carry a small tire patch kit. They are small, take up very itsybitsy space and very foremost if you get a flat. Especially if your patch kit is older check it to make sure the rubber patches have not dried out.
Spare Inner Tube
A spare inner tube is also a good idea to take with you on a ride. It is not uncommon to get a unblemished tube blow out. If you have a spare tube (or two) with you that will save a lot of discontentment and help you get back home. Once again be sure to give the tube a good optical inspection before you take off.
Assorted Tools and Wrenches
Carry a small pack of the definite Allen wrenches that fit your bike. Along with that bring small screw drivers (flat head and Phillips), pliers and a spoke wrench that fits for your spokes. It is easy to assume the definite Allen wrenches are with you-check to make sure. All too often the one wrench you need most gets left behind on a work bench at home. I'm just saying......yes it has happened to me.
Flashlight and Spare Glasses
It's also a good idea to take a small flashlight and for those who wear glasses a spare pair. If you damage your regular glasses and need them to see close up, having a spare pair will in fact come in handy so you can see what you are doing as you fix your bike.
Duct Tape
Duct tape. always carry a bit of duct tape with you. You never know when you might just need to hold something together until you get back home. This all-purpose tape can come in very handy at times.
Cloth
This may seem too simple-but don't forget a cloth or towel to wipe your hands on. There is nothing worse than taking off again, following your heal with grimy, greasy hands.
These are all recommended tools and items you should take with you on every ride. If you are going on a long ride you may want to take a few further items.
For a longer ride spare parts that can help you out of a jam would include: spare cables, spare spokes, extra tubes, spare tire, chain links. You should also take lubrication for your chain, cable and other areas. If you have problems with the chain be sure to bring along a tool that will allow you to fix it.
