This is vital, so many go riding without anything apart from a phone. Well done. Also, it's useful to note that small, light, and strong tools are not cheap. You don't want something snapping when you need it to fix your bike to enable you to get home. Zip ties, and duct tape are so useful. Keep the great videos coming, thank you.
I used to work as a cyclist messenger, so I'm used to carry a huge backpack with all essential stuff that was mentioned in the video.
But still there are some things I use to carry around while riding, which weren't mentioned for example a small saw to remove branches and trees from a trail after a storm, or after some nutjob tried to block a trail with it. Another usefull thing I allways carry in my backpack while ridin' is a first aid kid, because accidents happen and it's up to you whether you go prepared or unprepared.
The Topeak Ratchet Rocket is essential for me
Always take a small first aid kit. ACE bandage, an assortment of band-aids and gauze pads, some of that wrap that sticks to itself. Rarely used on myself, but patched up some pretty knarly cuts and sprains with my kit.
Topeak mini 20 I’ve just purchased awesome
Topeak Hexus X for me. Tyre levers, all the allen keys I need, checked against what my bike uses. The only issue is the 5mm is a bit short to get to one of my rear caliper mounting bolts (pretty sure would have same problem with most multi tools), so I also carry a 5mm single allen key.
I started bringing tweezers with to pull stubborn thorns. I highly recommend it if you live in the Southwest.
good show as always. I have bought some subpar multi-tools in the past. seriously a proper tool is a good investment. it will not strip your bolt head and last a long time. everybody should invest in good and proper tools.
What brand do you suggest?
@@1975normal crank brothers for starter I have good experience with those specifically their m19. some times a good indicator of a good tool is the price. haha
You need to have FRIENDS, carrying that all :D
Also, check that your multi-tool can adjust the largest Hex/Allen bolts and Torx bolts on your bike. Some bikes are now using 10 or even in rare cases 12mm hex bolts in the crankset and few multitools will have the larger sizes. I carry an extra hex key that I know covers the largest bolt on the bike as I know my multitool doesn't have it. Best practice is to at home do a full bike check-over using only the multi-tool as it is then that you will discover the important tool that it doesn't have. 😞 Also, if running tubeless make sure that know how to break the bead of a tubeless tyre from the rim while out on the trail, as these can be very difficult to do away from the workshop and they can get very stuck. I have watched people who have put large holes in their tyres struggling for 30 minutes to get the tubeless tyre off the rim so that they can add a sidewall patch and a tube. Hooked rims are the worst. GMBN should do a video on this. 👍
Please add links for each of the recommended tools. Sometimes the audio doesn’t capture exact brand names accurately (the CZcams “CC” option is useless). Thanks.
The Topeka ratchet rocket some tubes and a pump will do fone
I always take beers and weed with me on a MTB ride 😂 Bikes,Beers and Buds the three B's
I wanna see you fix a puncture with weed 😂
I always take a bike with me.
I was gonna say Bosch GKS 190 Professional| Heavy Duty Wood Cutter but you are right, I probably take my Bike.
My bike is a 2018 Norco Fluid HT and has tube tires.
Would a small patch kit and basic hand pump be sufficient instead of an entire spare tube?
I feel like just a multi-tool would be great too but I do not plan on doing trailside repairs, I'd rather just call it a day and go home lol.
After just buying my first used bike and all my gear. Helmet, knee pads, gloves. All I was planning on packing was a ziplock with first aid stuff, but what order would this stuff be most useful? Thanks!
It would be nice to have both. You can patch a tube, but you cant patch a broken valve for example.
Backpack, sadle bag, frame bag or a hip bag.
I think it's been ten years since I carried a tube. Could there be a situation where I would need one? Sure. But it's not like I'm going to die of starvation if I have to hike out so it doesn't even seem worth it anymore.
Have fun walking here in Switzerland from 10826 feet to 2624 😁
Please kindly ask someone to regulate the helmet for you, so you don't set a bad example.
I only need snacks. 😅
God Save The King!!🇬🇧
Zip ties and duct tape. Lots of zip ties...
Yeah, and don't forget about the rope and shovel too. 😁
@@krisqz and a Hilleberg black label tent, never go without one in case of a Blizzard!
@@krisqz What happens on the trail, stays on the trail. q8)
Bottle opener
Am I the only one who doesn’t understand tyre levers? Just push down from above and tyres come off easily.
all those tools plus toilet paper ;-)
