TOOLS/SPARE PARTS TO BRING:
For those bringing their own bikes – we recommend bringing the following tools with you. Rest assured your guides will have a full tool kit, but it’s a good idea to have the following items with you in case of trailside breakdowns:
- multi-tool (preferably with chain breaker)
- tire levers
- small tire pump
- 1-2 spare tubes (our guides can’t realistically carry enough 26″, 27.5″, and 29″ tubes for everyone)
- Any rare parts that might be hard to find locally for your brand of bike
