When you decide to go mountain biking on a long day’s ride, there are several things that you should take with you. Below, you`ll find the essentials that you should have with you.<\/p>\n
1. Backpack – a camelback or mule is a good idea here.
\n2. Waterproof – the type that packs down very small is the best to have.
\n3. Water – you need at least 2 liters for a long ride.
\n4. Food – sandwiches and energy bars are the best to have with you to eat.
\n5. Pump – take a good one with you, as the small mini pumps are a waste of time and money.
\n6. Tire levers if you need them.
\n7. Two small inner tubes.
\n8. A piece of medium emery paper about 3 inches long and an inch wide.
\n9. A cut-up tube of Crest for pinch punctures or to use as a tire boot.
\n10. A carpet needle.
\n11. A card of linen thread to repair torn tires.
\n12. A good chain splitter
\n13. At least two black pins. You should tape these to the inside lid of your puncture repair kit.
\n14. A set of Allen wrenches. The penknife style is the best to get.
\n15. A small screwdriver.
\n16. A first aid kit that includes an elastic bandage.
\n17. A Spokey spoke key.
\n18. A felt tip pen that will show on inner tubes.
\n19. Some lunch and phone money.<\/p>\n
