Zula Posted June 23, 2010 Share Afternoon one and all I am entered for the Subaru Kalahari Challenge in July, and while I have a vague Idea of what to bring, I was wondering if there is anything I could be leaving out which maybe some kind people could assist me with. As it stands I have thought of the following - bike related for now, but feel free to post anything else you may think I will find usefull Spare chainChain linksQuick linksSpare rear derailerShock pump and tyre pumpLubeBrushes and clean greenHangerSpare tyreSpare tubes (3?)Cable tiesDuct tapePocket knifeMulti toolTyre leversbombs and hand pumpPuncture repair kit Gators All I can think of for now. Any advice or comment would be welcome and appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted June 23, 2010 Share Perhaps upgrade to full outer cables (if you haven't already) and take a spare set along.I assume your multi tool has a chain breaker?Possibly add a pair or two of brake pads.A UST valve (?)A few spokes (especially if they are unusual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
