OK what tools and spares should I take for a few odd days in the Alps? I still have painfull memories of making payment in blood for some Michelin downhill tyres in Les Gets back in 2000.
Spares wise I was going to take spokes, nipples, spare DH tyre, tubeless tape and sealant, brake pads, gear cable & outer and some spare tubes just in case.
Toolwise I was thinking adjustable spanner, allen & torqs keys, cassette tool, chain whip, tyre levers, pliers, wire cutters, track pump…
I am off to Morzine to meet up with an old biking mate for some trail action and then onto Lac d’Annecy for more family orientated fun but I may sneak out for more uplift assisted riding. After that I think we are heading towards Provence so there will be some more riding before we head west across towards the Dordogne.
