Hi y’all,

I’m kind of a beginner cyclist and looking for a repair kit for tires on my road bike that I can carry with me. Ideally something that I could connect to the bike.

I used to go to Reddit for this kind of stuff but, well, you know.

Thank you!

    I’d say it depends on the type of bike and tire.

    Tubed or tubeless? For tubed, I’d recommend 1-2 spare tubes put in a saddle bag or one of those fake bottle kits that mounts in a bottle carrier, a small co2 pump, a few cartridges and a tire lever if yours are not easy to remove and install by hand. If you have a flat, replace the tube, then patch old tubes at home. For tubeless I recommend the dynaplug tool, optionally a small bottle of extra sealant and a valve tool. Small hand pump as co2 can interfere with tubeless sealant. I ride tubeless and just chuck these items in a jersey pocket.
