Had a blowout over the weekend and was restocking my bag, so I thought to share.

I’ve got:

  • Tire levers
  • Combination allen key
  • $20
  • Tube w cellophane
  • CO2 w cracker

Looking at this list, I should probably add a quick link. They’re sitting in my tool chest right next to me. My saddle bag is also right next to me… now would be a great time to do that.

Anyways? How do you all pack?

    On my road bike:

    • spare TPU tube
    • TPU patch kit
    • minimal multi tool
    • tyre levers
    • quick link
    • a few zip ties
    • small abus wire lock (combiflex)
    • 20€
    • a few small odds and ends

    + a mini pump mounted to my frame and a small electric pump in my jersey pocket

    It sounds a lot, but it all fits in a small saddle bag.

    On my gravel bike I have all of the above plus:

    • tyre boots (saved my arse once)
    • latex gloves
    • a pocket sized torque wrench
    • spare battery for power meter and speed sensor

    Maybe a bit over the top, but it still fits in a medium sized saddle bag.

      I’ve always been curious about TPU, love that it packs so small. Do you ride them all the time or just after a puncture?

        I ride them all the time. I’m completely sold on them and would use them on any bike except a commuter.

        The only disadvantages are the price and them holding air a bit worse than standard tubes so you need to pump them up a bit more often.
