yes, ample tire repair stuff and spares.

The other week I had a 3 day riding vacation, two days of bliss, one day so frustrating it almost made me give up on biking alltogether

puncture one: 1 km in the ride, I had to pass some sports field, F+R flat because some ******* hooligans left broken beer bottles after the match.

right, on patch, one spare gone. Stupid jersey pocket pump was inadequate, couldn't get the tire up to the required pressure for the rocky section ahead. Two snakebite flats, FR. Call of shame, had to call in the family minivan.


one of those days. Please test your pump before striking out. the extra weight of a better pump is totally irrelevant compared to the frustration of hard pumping with no effect and a tire that's unusable in the condition you're riding in.
