For shorter rides and training spins a compact sized saddle bag is perfect. Always be sure you pack the following tools and spare parts:
· spare inner tube
· set of tyre levers (they could make life really easy in case you need to fix a puncture)
· multitool
· chain breaker and quick-link that’s compatible with your chain
· mini pump
The modern mini pumps can either be fitted on the frame or can be carried easily in a jersey's back pocket.
Tip:
· If we don’t have enough storage capacity, the spare tube can be taped to the seat post easily with a piece of insulating tape
· A few pieces of cable ties can do miracle, a lot of problems can be solved by them. Always take a few pieces!
· Always take 2-3 tyre levers. You are going to need them if the tyre is too tight on the rim.
