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

    Since I threw in the Tire Armor inserts I quit carrying a pump except on longer rides.

    I have a wrench that fits everything except the front tire ( has extra slots ) and a wrench that fits the front tire.

    I bike multi tool ( Allen wrenches, Phillips+ Flathead screwdrivers, some small mm sockets )

    A battery powered pump.

    Zipties and hose clamps.

    I’ll try to remember to take a photo, feel free to remind me. I’m sure I’m missing a few items.
