On the bike:
A buddy lost the cotter pin thing on his Shimano brakes. Fortunately someone in our group had one.
I had a presta valve core gum up so bad air wouldn’t go in or out. Discovered this at the top of a 2hr climb. Spent 45 min cleaning it out enough to keep going.
In the car:
Before I started building my own wheels, we would break spokes often enough that I travel with different length spokes for every wheel in our stable, spoke wrench, rim tape, Stans and CO2 to reset. Funny thing is, haven’t broken a spoke on any wheel I’ve built.
Edit: I’ve heard rumor of some people riding with a cassette lockring tool. Wonder if they have a 12” Crescent wrench and chain whip too.
