Why would you have a chain breaker without a spare link?
-
thanks for all your vids... new to bike and cycle.... great information
-
@VeniVidi u can get spare links witch go on easy
-
seems to me that if you break a link- it would only be one link-haven't seen more than a link or two go bad-shouldn't need more than a chain tool and a master link ??? and possibly putting the money in zip lock bags ???? just some ideas :>)

The patches & money should not be loose on a windy day. The tool pouch should be larger to allow for individual containers for organizing. There's nothing more aggravating than the wind blowing your stuff around.

its just in case you snap a link in your chain. some people use the same chain they have been riding on for the past 15 years, so its not uncommon for an old, rusted chain to snap.

No point in bringing the chain tool. It's a heavy chunk of metal that you'll never use on a ride. In 30 years of riding, I've never ever needed to take off my bike chain while on a trip. It's like needing to take off your handlebars. You just don't ever do that. What would be more useful is bringing some spare batteries for your bike light.

thanks for the vid
Best to carry your spare inner tube inside a solid plastic container. Otherwise it will have been damaged/holed by the rest of the luggage in your backpack by the time you come to use it.
I didn't see what the point of carrying a chain remover is, though? If you haven't got a replacement chain with you when you're out and about, why would you be removing the existing one?

Simple addition 1: put the inner tube in a plastic baggie with a little talcum powder. It'll make installation much easier. Great video!
