If you want to carry master link pliers on a ride then Wolfs Tooth Components do a couple of MLP based multi-tools. Also, regards names for vans, my mate drives a Mercedes Vito called Danny ;-) First aid kit tip, throw away your tube of anti-septic. Older first aid kits used to contain a *tube* of anti-septic, they don't any more because they were ironically a great place for bacteria to grow. Modern first aid kits have use-once anti-septic wipes or spray, so there is no contamination next time you use the kit.

Critical addition to the quick link pliers: extra large paper clip. Bend it open into a double hook so you can put it either side of the master link so your chain (and master link) doesn't go flying off into the bushes!! 🤣
@Dan_Kornfeld 2 жыл бұрын
Fenders are inexpensive, and come in a variety of sizes and graphics. Velcro or zip tying a fender onto the fork, not only helps deflect dirt, sand, and mud away from you, and your bike’s downtube, it also shields your fork stanchions from damaging flying debris. Hack: If the ride is going to be especially wet and muddy, I’ll zip tied a spare front fender onto my seat rails, with it sticking out behind my saddle. It really helps keep the skunk stripe of mud and water off your bottom and back.

One thing you missed is a piston press. We've all had that "oh shit" moment where we've accidentally hit the brakes with the wheel out - it's happened to me a few times where i've gone to test a brake after putting a wheel back in and then accidentally gone the wrong one.
@stallitite9157 2 жыл бұрын
Tell me about it. My little brother recently went “oh, what does this do?” And pulled the front brake lever while the wheel was off. I didn’t have a piston press so I had to use a screwdriver. They’ve been pretty dodgy since that.

I don't know about UK, but in every country I have lived, you are obliged to have a first aid kit in every car. Thus, if you go to the trail by car, the first aid kit is already there. Also: if you need one and aren't by car, or cannot get to your car easily, you should be able to ask any car driver to help you out, since they all should have a kit with them, and are obliged to help you to some extend (though as long as you can approach them, probably not, as things likely aren't severe enough). But if you can get to any parking lot with cars, just ask around. Someone will hopefully help you out.
