Bike Repair & Tools
Everything You Need for Your Next Ride!
“I haven’t had a flat tire in months!” – You should never say that out loud. Anyone who still makes that cardinal mistake usually gets punished with a flat tire in no time. Luckily, modern bikes and components are less prone to failures than before, but still, a breakdown can always happen. The flat tire continues to be undefeated at the top of the list. Despite all the innovations in the bike industry, there's still plenty of potential for defects, so you should ask yourself, which tools do you need for the kind of tour you're planning. Just the essentials or everything for any eventuality? How much extra weight are you willing to carry for peace of mind? We'll show you the most important and practical tools here, so you can help yourself at any time and make it home safely.
Tool Highlights
Tire punctures & broken chains
The flat tire is a classic. Failures and problems with the drivetrain rank second. Regardless of whether you ride tubeless or with a tube: Here we'll show you the most sensible tools to get your bike back on the road. A broken chain can also be fixed in no time, if you have the right little helper with you.
Multi-tools
The multitool is the Swiss Army knife for cyclists. No other tool offers so many practical functions. Depending on your need for security and the type of tour, you can choose a minimalist or more amply equipped tool. Make sure it provides all the tools you consider important.
Integrated tools
With system-integrated solutions, you can do without a backpack or even a hip bag - and if you don't want your bike to look like a rolling toolbox, integrated tools are a must. They can be almost invisibly hidden in the handlebars, steerer tube, or even the crankshaft and are always there when you need them.
Tools well stowed
To carry tools conveniently, there are various practical solutions: the small saddle bag, the tool strap, or the tool bottle for the bottle cage usually offer enough space. If you need to carry more tools, a hip bag makes sense – or you could just use the classic backpack.
