Needed Kits for a Mountain Biker
Kits are simplified versions of your workshop, medicine cabinet, bathroom, and kitchen drawers. Of course, you can’t bring them with you, so you need to you need to transform them in to small and practical quantities.
You can purchase prepackage kits in stores but to save money, you can assemble your own. Some needed materials are not even completely inside prepared kit, so your initiative can help.
Repair Kit, Essential
Always expect the unexpected during rides. Although you have the most quality bike set in the world, you need to be ready in all circumstances. You don’t want to go home leaving your bike, do you?
Unlike touring, mountain biking requires less repair materials. A patch kit, screwdriver, pliers, wrench, chain lubricant, spare brake cable, cable ties, and a manual will do. Just check your bike before riding it, to avoid damages.
In case you want a tough ride on tough terrains, you might consider bringing an extra tire. However, you can always replace a punctured tube by another one. I suggest you always bring a spare tube in more challenging rides. SEE the steps on how to replace tires.
