nigel dabster Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 When riding today we had a little trouble, and we had one lad carry the tools and it might be strange but before I spill the beans I wondered what sensible folk have in theirs?

thespikeyone Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Don't normally carry one unless it is abig loop (not many of them in lincolnshire) but for the SSDT, I had -set of allen keys (the swiss army knife stylee) -three short tyre levers -9 inch extension bar with 14mm allen key on the end (I also cut a slot in the end of the extension bar so I can use one of the tyre levers to un-screw the front axle) -combi screw driver (normally found in car spare wheel kits) -long nose pliers -small adjustable spanner -dog turd kit -pump and gas bottles (hebo one, it's tiny) -valve key and spare valve core -brake and clutch levers -spare X-Blok -split link -front tube -throttle wheel -few nuts and bolts Didn't realise how much I took with me!!!!!!! it's all pretty small and packs away nice in a mudguard pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw dave Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 To be sure that all those tools stay where you need them - be sure to buy a hand made Canadian one!! Even Dougie has used these and Inspector Huddleston swears by 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Yes thought so thats the kind of thing I would expect and carry my self. Not too sure why Perce needs a highlighter, biro (nothing to write on), and bizarrly a ladies compact mirror! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Yes thought so thats the kind of thing I would expect and carry my self.Not too sure why Perce needs a highlighter, biro (nothing to write on), and bizarrly a ladies compact mirror! The mirror was probably left in there from last year's SSDT. It'll be Kinell's signalling mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, surely we all need the compact mirror to apply the lipstick. For prevention of chapped lips of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 What does dog turd kit consist of?,Just out of interest. Desperately trying to resist the comedy answer here - Dog turd kit is otherwise known as puncture repair kit for tubeless tyres. They are sticky brown things (hence dog turds) which you push into a tyre using a special tool. Quite effective for a temporary repair and no need to even take the wheel out of the bike.
