Need a little help with my on the go kit.

Still relatively new to biking, and i can finally get the things i don't have. Just need to know if the stuff im looking at is good, or a waste of time.

I have a '13 Trek FX 7.2, only thing i have is a Bontrager A1, patches (no pump or CO2) and a lock set.

This is what im looking to get pending the advice i receive.

If there is anything on this list that i can get a better alternative thats....i'd say no more than 10 dollars more, i'll take it into consideration if its worth the upgrade...for the rest, if i can get something just as good for a cheaper price, PLEASE let me know

^ This seems very pricey for a bottle, but i don't want to drink from something thats not safe...i like that it keeps things cool longer than regular bottles.But that price....sheesh.


More questions, my tire was 700x35cc, i looked on a few sites and they all had 700x28-35cc or 700x31-44cc, there was another variation, but i don't remember what page it was on. Can i use either?Don't know how the tube sizing works, even after reading.

I also need a decent front light. I don't plan on riding in the dark, but id rather have it and not need it.

I looked on that site, they were either too expensive for me, or had bad reviews as far as build quality. thinking about using straps to mount a small flash light to my handle bar
