All my local bike shops do sell small tubes of cement, so you can buy them separately from the patch kit, as it's pretty much a given that the cement will quickly become useless after it's been used once. That's why they all have a seal that you have to puncture before you can use it. You can sometimes rescue a tube if it hasn't been too long by cutting it up on the other end and reach some of the cement that hasn't yet harden after contact with the air.

But I also carry a CO2 inflator in case I need to re-seat a tubeless tyre and need more flow rate than a small hand pump. More of a problem for my 29x2.5" mtb tyres than my 700x42c gravel tyres, but still. Also the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive pump has been the best portable pump i've ever bought. It's arguably too long to fit on the frame, but it can fit in a backpack or frame bag. The long hose, long stroke and foot hold have made inflating tyres SO much easier.

No. Can’t seat a tire. Like the Lezyne micro floor. Hate the thread in chuck design. Wish it had a flip chuck instead.

The only time I have ever needed a chain tool is when sizing a new chain. What do people use them for out on rides?
@DominiqueB2 жыл бұрын
late answer, but just in case... it's not that uncommon to break a link when riding, then you need the chain tool to remove the broken link, then possibly to put it back together if you don't have a quicklink.

@@DominiqueB Luckily, it still hasn't happened to me. But for this reason I will make room in my bag when I take a very long ride.

Water bottle, cell phone, and swiss army knife are my only 100 % all the time carries. Kinda wondering if you just assumed hydration and phone didn't need mentioning?

Yes. Assumed water bottles on a bike.

That chain tool also looks like a tire tool.

It is but I would never use it unless it was an absolute emergency. Too much opportunity to dent a rim with it.

About the Wolftooth pliers, don’t they always work as a tyre lever?
@PathLessPedaledTV5 жыл бұрын
Wouldn’t use them for that. Have to be super careful to not dent or break a rim.

Dude! You forgot the coolest part of the coolest tool. The end of the wolf tooth master link tool is a tyre lever
@PathLessPedaledTV5 жыл бұрын
I think it works OK as a tyre lever. Tried it and the metal on metal was a little sketch. Wouldn’t be my primary lever but an emergency back up.

Why do you carry a chain breaker on your rides? Just wondering, since I've never needed one outside.
@nelumbonucifera75375 жыл бұрын
For repairing a broken chain or damaged rear derailleur enough that you can ride out. Rare, but it happens - especially off-road.
