So, over the years I learnt what I needed to be ready to solve a flat on the go.

Back then I wasn’t aware of the pre-made kits (or maybe they weren’t even around), so I made mine.

  • One glove for the really dirty patrts. I use it also when the chain falls

  • one tube because I don’t want to deal with patches and glue while in a hurry

  • flat wrench since I don’t have quick realase on my wheels

  • a small pump

  • the (usual) 3 plastic tools to remove the tire

This is how I wrap it up to keep i compact:

the kit wrapped up in a cloth pack

What do you use? Do you carry a kit at all?

    I’ve seen one of them once in my city, so I think it was more of a one off ran by an LBS, so I definitely think that is a perk of where ever you are located.

    Armourer tyres more than do the job for me and I am already carrying my lunch and clothes and other shit in my backpack, I don’t need innertubes and tools adding to that weight :D
