A couple years ago, no tools 😅. I was commuting between home and campus just a mile away, so if something went wrong I’d just lock the bike and come for it later.

Nowadays, just a few to do an inner tube & chain replacement, and some other small bits that might come in handy.

  • 2 spanners (one adjustable)
  • Backup lights & head torch
  • Tyre levers & adhesive puncture patches
  • Mini track-style pump
  • Screwdriver for the chain enclosure
  • Pliers for the rollerbrakes and internal hub gear cables

I’ve found the head torch to be surprisingly helpful… Had a puncture in the dark once, and without that I would have been there a while lol

    Pump, tube, CO2, spare cartridge, patch kit, levers, tire boot patch, spare missing link, 2 shrunken paper towel tablets (just add a bit of water to expand), $5, and a multitool.

      That’s interesting, never heard of those. Are they like normal tissue when they’re expanded, or is it like a different kind of material?
