Basic Bicycle Repair Kit
Here are the tools that make up a basic repair kit and the ones marked with an asterisk should be carried at all times. If you are riding in a small group (or alone) you should
have at least one complete repair kit with you at all times.
- Spare tube of the appropriate size for your bicycle*
- Tube patch kit *(contains patches, glue, and sandpaper. Check the glue frequently since it tends to dry out once opened)
- Tire boots (a piece of inner tube will work in a pinch)
- Tire levers*
-
Frame style air pump, mini pump or CO2 cartridge inflator* (set
up to fit your type of valve stem)
-
Hex keys of 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6&8mm; chain tool, flat &
Phillips screwdrivers, T-25 torx key, spoke wrench, 8 & 10mm open
end wrenches (an all-in-one multi tool contains most of these items)
-
Small length of wire and some electrical tape
-
Emergency money*
