I. Tools to bring in a bicycle repair kit
When cycling outside, especially on long trips, having a good bike repair kit is essential to keep your bike running well. You can make repairs as soon as they break down or make adjustments to improve your bike’s performance as needed. A basic bike repair kit will include the following tools:
1. Spare tube or patch kit
The most common problem cyclists face is a flat tire. It is essential to always carry a spare tube or a patch kit with you. If the flat tire is caused by a small puncture, you can use a patch kit to fix it. For larger punctures, replacing the tube is the best option.

2. Tire lever tool
A tire lever is a tool that helps you pry a tire off the rim when you are trying to open a tire position. A tire lever is especially useful when removing a mountain bike tire, because mountain bike tires are usually tight fitting on the rim, and removing the tire without a tire lever can be extremely difficult.

3. Bicycle pump
If you get a flat tire while on the road, you will need a pump to inflate it after patching or replacing the tube. If the tube deflates during cycling, the tire will also need to be inflated. So always carry a small hand pump or CO2 inflator that fits in your backpack or attaches to your bike frame.

4. Basic tool kit
On longer trips, especially in areas where there are no repair shops, you should bring more than one bike repair tool. Many simple problems or damages can be easily fixed with basic adjustments if you have the right tools. You can bring tools such as pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers… or the most convenient is to bring a multi-tool, combining many tools into one.

5. Lubricant
When riding for multiple days and riding on terrain with lots of dirt or trails, it's a good idea to occasionally clean and re-lubricate certain parts of your bike to maintain good performance.
Carry a small can of chain lube and a few clean rags to keep your bike running smoothly.

6. Spare parts: bolts, nuts, spare links
When cycling long distances, it is possible that parts will break down beyond repair. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare some of the most important spare parts so that they can be replaced immediately when necessary.
- Spare tire : Reserve when tire is too worn or has a large puncture that cannot be repaired
- Brake cable : Brakes are a very important part of the vehicle, so bring a brake cable to replace in case the brake cable breaks.
- Bolts and screws : Long periods of cycling can loosen even the tightest nuts and bolts over time, so carrying spare bolts and screws is a must.
- Replacement Chain Link : If your chain breaks while you're riding, you'll need a replacement. They're small and lightweight, so keep one handy.
