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?


For me, it is a lot of the same as others have listed.
For my shorter rides, I have;
I also have a pump attached to the frame.
On a long ride, I will add a café lock and a mech hanger at least, usually I throw in a 3rd tpu tube to my top tube bag.
I used to swear on co2 right up until I got a series of punctures, and not enough co2s. I now just take them in the winter alongside the pump. Just so I can reduce standing around in the wet. And if you’re taking 3 or 4 co2s, probably weighs close to a normal small pump at that point, but takes more space.
Daysaver! Never saw that before, its right up my alley. I’ll save up some scratch and replace that combination allen
Yea, it is expensive for an “allen key”, but it is one of the best purchases I have made. such a good tool.
