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

    A little multi tool hex and screwdriver setup that fits in my under seat pouch, a spare tube, and a mini pump (I don’t like CO2). Haven’t had to change a tube during a race yet but it’s bound to happen eventually.
