Throw the stick!!!!
Everything looks fine except for the light. What type of riding do you plan on doing with that light?
The toolset isn't really all that impressive either. It would be a start though.

Headlights come in 2 flavors: Those that allow you to be seen by others, and those that allow you to see. That one probably does neither very well. The tool kit is a good start if you're only a beginner though. I still have mine.

Bargain, Raiyn, bargain. Have you used that tool kit? I'm tired of everyone knocking it. Mine has survived mostly intact for about 4 or 5 years now. It pays for itself in one weekend.

It's the same knock off tool kit they sell in most shops. Like I said I wouldn't buy it.
You're way too sensitive about that bloody tool kit anyway. You'd think a guy who'd buy Ti rotors for his bike would invest in a good tol kit

I've got my Park Tool kit, thank you. And did I mention the custom titanium spanner? But for a beginner, there's nothing wrong with the cheap kit to get you started. I use the allen keys in there more than I do the Park T handle ones.

A fine computer. To give you an idea my old Mity 3 is still going strong and now they're up to version 8
Why do you "need" CO2? if you're not racing it's extra money down the crapper. I'd steer you to this https://www.performancebike.com/shop/...tegory_ID=4361
Crap on a stick.
Good basic trail use tool

I've got that light, bought it about a month ago. I plan on using it on evening road rides where things are already kind of lit up. It will work great as a way for people to see me and will put a little light on the road. I don't think it's bright enough to do actual night rides though.
