MTB - how much gear do you take along?

[andrecapetown]

Ok' I'm probably on of those guys that drag along too much gear, the chap that has a chain breaker + spare link etc. It's always someone else's chain that breaks!

 

I'm doing the grootbrak 42km tomorrow, bit of tar, gravel roads and some stream crossing.

 

- I have tubeless , do I take a spare tube?

 

- do I take a pump, if I leave above tube?

 

- do I take a chain breaker + link?

 

- if I take a tube - do I take those goodies to remove the tire?

 

I'm an average amateur, out to have some fun and would be pissed off if I have to retire because of anyl of the above!!!

Depends on where.

If you know the terrain, the stops etc, take as little as possible.

Most of the time on rides that I do, I take nothing.

 

Road bike I take the basics to change a tube. That's it.

[nickelass]

me,I would have all the above,but I always have a hydration pack, and never empty it,once carried a shock pump for a race that I had forgot about.If you are serious about time go light,depends how likey will you need it?

Hope ride goes well. Also suggest a small amount of lube if muddy. Chain suck sucks.
