if we want to be prepared for any eventuality’s we have to bring rims, spokes, saddle rails, all what could maybe maybe 🤔 break. a bike hanger full of spare parts.
so i bring nothing, just two chain locks and piece of chain. not even shifter cables, i make sure that my shifter cables are not 20 years old before leaving.
Reminds me of a few weeks ago when I was hiking a mountain with my daughter and we kept being passed by people with only running shoes and a cellphone in hand. I wondered out loud what these people did if something went wrong and my daughter replied "they phone for help". It's a new world :-)
In my small day backpack I have a complete first aid kit and I could spend the night in the forest if I had to. Where I intend to go cycling there's a good chance there won't be cell service (unless things have drastically evolved recently) making phoning for help a bit difficult.
