Is that the new Giant Defy SL u are riding on?
Wow!!! Thought I carried a lot of stuff. Very well done. Take care, Al
I love the axe clickbait, but what does Nic Vieri actually think about bringing an axe to a bikepacking trip?
Small needle nose plier. To pull out the pin holding the brake pad in place, so you can change them. Tough to do with just a screwdriver head from your multi-tool.
old toothbrush to clean the chain. Or, use your main toothbrush: clean your teeth, clean the chain 🙂
This is an excellent video.
Thank you for this vid! Very informative! Congrats to Nic on the new shop.
Very good! I always keep 30-50cm of duck tape wrapped onto my pump.
I wrap gorilla tape around my pump.
Also, even though I don’t know how to replace a spoke, I still carry it. If I can find a bike shop, at least I already have the correct length spokes
Any issues with using co2 on TPU tubes?
How can you re-seat a tubeless tire with a mini pump?
I use Dynaplugs too, but there's a potential issue if you use them and later end up having to put a tube in. Maybe worms are a safer bet after all?
Glad to see you've made it out of the big city, Northumberland makes me feel connected.
Great video, some good tips in there that I may try. Especially that valve adaptor.
This guy hasn’t rejected one of the ridiculous items he’s picked up and explained for no good reason! I shut it down at spare rim tape! 👎
This is very useful, a lot of this stuff I already pack for long multi day / ultra events, but there are a few bits in there that I hadn’t considered but are a good idea 👍
Nick is cool
13:39. I go to oil my lock which I keep remembering I really need to do every time I lock the bike.
And how to remove sprockets, when change of spoke is needed? I'm not see the tool for that in the list.
Trick with the TPU tubes… you have to have the appropriate size for the tire… so you can't put one designed for a maximum tire of 32mm into a 38mm tire, unlike the rubber inner tubes that will work in that manner.
Cool mechanic
6 bolt brake rotors use the same threads as spd cleats. I always replace one bolt on each rotor with an spd bolt. It has saved rides.
Brillant video! Thank you very much! Learned a lot! I always carry the Topeak Ratchet Rocket Lite DX. Sometimes I am too weak and the ratched saved me a lot of times 😀
Nice review – I also add a spare bottle cage bolt and spare bolts for my rack.
Big fan of those swiss stop exotherm brake pads.
Great tips!
Great video! Something to think about too is that tubolito tubes need their own tubolito patch kits.
Another great vid, thanks! I carry spare spokes but in case of broken spokes on the rear driveside I recommend a couple of Fiberfix spoke repair kits.
What is the model name of the smaller leatherman?
Mini Cassette Lock ring Remover for broken spokes on the drive side
Small tweezer for stubborn objects lodged in tyre
