wheelsucker Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 What tools do you have on your bikes? Besides the normal toolkit for the bike, what extra do you keep on the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nogbad Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 None. This is the most reliable bike I have owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbennett Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 While maybe these are not the tools you had in mind: I usually carry some fuses and (in winter when wearing an electric vest) a set of portable jumper cables that easily clip onto the battery. If I am on a ride with buddies one of us usually carries a portable tow strap. I have never been stranded, bike has never been on a truck so far.

jrt Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 cell phone, credit card, MGNOC contact directory. That's all you'll need. Oh, I've been known to take a multimeter but that's for other people's bikes. On my Eldo, I take ~25 pounds of tools and I've never used them either.

Guest ckamin Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Aside form that thing resembling a tool kit from the factory, I have a Cruz Tools metric kit, AAA membership (with rv/bike service), a cell, and someone in the family with a motorcycle trailer!! Fortunately, the bike is reliable. My biggest fear is a flat, so I should probabaly get an emergency flat repair kit, though........... -Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
