Let's build your ultimate bikepacking repair kit! In this video I’ll take you through my complete kit that I take on multi day, 1000+ km rides. This is my mechanical lifeline, and has got me through some real binds in the middle of nowhere.

I have selected these tools with knowledge from working at Pushbikes, listening to others experiences, having been a mechanic myself, and learning first hand out on the trail.

The main takeaway points

Know your tools. It’s super important to know and understand your tools, exactly what they're going to do, how they're going to help you and that they fit the multitude of different sized bolts on your bike.

How to use them. There's no point taking anything unless you know how to actually use it, and that includes having done it yourself. Watching YouTube videos on how to fix punctures or repair a broken, is not the same as having actually done this yourself. It makes a huge difference out on the trail when you'll be under a little more pressure. Pushbikes runs hour long, hand on training courses to help you get more confident with your bike.

Know your bike. Your bike has a multitude of different parts on it, get confident by understanding each and everyone and how they operate.

Don't be a weight weenie. This is only going to cost you if and when something actually goes wrong. The tools I have selected are more ‘individual tools’, there's no point taking a multi-tool with a multitude of tiny parts/tools that just make life harder and cause frustration on the trail. My entire tool kit is under 1kg of weight, which is about 10% of my total pack setup of 10-11kg.
