+1 for the pump. I've lent my pump to plenty of riders who've run out of cartridges.
A separate spoke wrench is easier to use than the one in a multi- toool. Since the rear drive side spokes are the ones most likely to fail, the tool for removing your cluster (FW or cassette) is needed for on-road spoke replacement. OTH, a well built, touring grade wheel should be able to limp to the next LBS with a broken spoke. dougP On Jul 26, 7:52 am, Anne Paulson <anne.paul...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 3:48 AM, Angus <angusle...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > > This is what I do: > > Pump not CO2 (you won't run out of cartridges and you can top up the > > tire pressure over time) > > Tools: Just enough to tighten/adjust every fastener on the bike (may > > be one small multi-tool) + small chain breaker (if not in multi-tool) > > + tire levers > > Spares: Tubes (2) + spokes (3-4) + zip ties + duct tape (a foot or so > > wrapped around a small wood dowel) + patch kit + tire boot + 2 bolts > > that can replace rack bolts + 2 brake pads (if you think you'll wear > > them out) + chain master link, derailleur & brake cables if you want. > > That's pretty much what I bring also, except I don't bring spokes or cables. > > I also bring a spare folding tire, and of course a bottle of chain > lube and a rag. > > CO2 cartridges don't fit in with the Riv esthetic, I don't think, > whether on tour or just riding around. > > -- > -- Anne Paulson > > My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
