jonnybmac Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I was out today and my friend bent his handlebars quite badly flipping on a huge rock and another lad whos a plumber came up in his van, we used his blow torch and a socket on a extention bar to bend it back into a considerable position and quenched it with some water just so it didnt ruin his day so id well recomend a blow torch in the mix. Odd one but comes in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02-apr Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Take whatever you've got !! Believe me if you leave something at home you'll need it !! Phil Particularly spare handlebars! Lever blades handy too. And dare one say spare contact lenses if used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Agree take what you have got. Get a small tool box and use it when fettling the bike (this way you know what you have and that it works) and take it with you. Mole grips, junior hack saw also useful. Spare brake levers front and back, clutch lever, front brake, pads, spare chain. Front tube, dog turds, Tyre levers. Keep any usable spare you replace such as grips, tensioner pads, mudguards etc that would do to get you to the finish. Best plan is you have it you won't need it. And yes spare handle bars with a grip fixed to clutch end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
