Have you brought all the riding equipment?

As a professional cyclist, having good physical strength is a prerequisite, but more importantly, riding is handsome.

If you want to ride fast and handsome, the lightweight and simplification of knights and equipment is a major focus, but you will inevitably encounter problems when you go out to ride, such as mechanical failure, flat tire, etc.

Therefore, cyclists always plan ahead and fill their clothes pockets or seat cushion bags with repair products, but no matter how much they take or how little they take, they always feel that they don’t take enough.

What kind of repairs should I take when I go out cycling? How can I bring it well and skillfully? Taking mountain riding as an example, this article is divided into three kinds of repair carrying guidelines according to the length of riding mileage.

Level 1: applicable to short-range riding.

This level does not need to bring too many repairs, but each item is a necessary rescue tool.

Maybe some people don’t take it, but in case of a flat tire, it will be troublesome to take a car all the way home.

➤ portable air pump short and compact pocket air pump is the first choice, and choose a style with smart mouth, which corresponds to American / French air nozzle at the same time.

➤ tire digging stick is small and light, but it can be your hero in an emergency.

It is better to choose plastic steel material.

The end should be decorated into a smooth arc shape to avoid damaging the wheel frame when digging the tire.

The other end of the handle should also be able to buckle the strip.

➤ tire patch this self-adhesive inner tube patch is easy to use and easy to carry.

It’s only a few grams more to bring.

➤ what are the functions of the multi-functional folding tool? Basically, it depends on the car you ride.

Just enough.

Generally speaking, it is mainly hexagonal tools, but some models will use T25 star screws, which should be paid special attention.

In addition, slotted and cross screwdriver are also required.

These tools can be used when adjusting the transmission or replacing the rear claw.

The advantage of the first level is that it is easy to carry.

The portable air pump can be fixed at the hole of the kettle frame of the frame, and other repair products can be stuffed into the seat cushion bag, or if there is no seat cushion bag, they can also be packed in the sealing bag and attached to the seat bow with adhesive tape, which will not occupy the pocket of the car clothes at all.

Level 2: it is suitable for medium-range riding.

If you want to ride a little farther, please bring more repair products…

➤ when the spare tire breaks, changing into the spare inner tube is definitely faster and more effective than using tire patch.

It should be noted that if you have multiple mountain bikes, you should pay special attention to the wheel diameter.

It’s embarrassing that you can’t install them smoothly with the wrong specification.

➤ chain breaking tools although it is said that chain breaking is not common, in case of chain breaking and no chain breaking tools, it will really kill people! ➤ several groups of chain quick buckles / pins are provided for the spare chain quick buckles / pins, which can be eliminated in real time in case of chain problems.

However, it should be noted that each chain has its own corresponding chain fast buckle / pin, so keep your eyes open and don’t bring it wrong.

➤ ten straps can only add a few grams, but they are a vehicle rescue artifact in an emergency! ➤ insulating tape a few meters of insulating tape will not add too much weight, but it can become a universal tape in an emergency.

➤ it is recommended to order more than one group when buying a car in case of accidental crash.

Moreover, the claw made of aluminum alloy is only a few grams light.

The advantage of the second level is that there are not many and many.

Generally speaking, bringing more of the above six repairs will increase by about 320 grams, but it can greatly improve the self rescue ability of equipment failure.

The weight of 320 grams, of which 200 grams come from the inner tube, while the mini version of the chain tool is only about 70 grams.

Level 3: it is suitable for long-distance riding.

If you want to ride a little farther, please bring more repairs…

➤ compass, so you will always bring keys when you go out! Therefore, the mini compass key ring can have the best of both worlds, and it is also very lightweight; But it should be noted that if the key or sensor card you bring is magnetic, stay away from them when looking at the compass to avoid misjudging the direction.

➤ in case of getting lost and it’s late, you can’t see the village in front and the shop in the wilderness, but the black paint is black and you can’t see your fingers.

So you need a set of lighting lamps.

It’s better if it’s a head mounted headlamp.

➤ windbreaker coat today’s textile technology can create a windbreaker coat less than 100g, which is not only very warm, but also easy to carry, Also easy to store and fold (when the windbreaker jacket is stored, other repair products can be covered together to improve the stability during placement).

➤ the neck cover or headscarf is increased by a few grams, but it can be used in hot summer and used for sunscreen in summer.

➤ the warm knee cover has the same effect as the above neck cover.

➤ the spare gloves get wet in rainy days and lose grip.

It’s really enjoyable to replace a pair of dry gloves! ➤ eggs There are three holes in a cake, and there are three pockets in the car clothes.

Why not save one for an attractive and delicious cake.

After all, mountain riding is very physical, and only eating high calorie food can have endurance.

The advantage of the third level is that there is always a lot of preparation in advance.

When you come to the ultimate third level, basically, the repair products you prepare, even if there is a mechanical failure, getting lost, falling into a car, etc., can basically let you eliminate the problem and get out of the body as long as the temperature doesn’t drop too fast.

In addition, the extra 7 items of repair products will not add too much weight.
