When out on long rides if something goes wrong it’s important to have a few essentials to get you home. We lake tools where the designer has put some real though into it and that’s the case with this little tool.

There are the usual 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6mm Allen keys a M25 Torx driver and both Phillips and flat head screw drivers. Which all quite standard however it also has replacement rear derailleur mount which as long as you have a standard quick release setup may just get you home. Its one of those features you don’t appreciate until you use it – but all the same a great idea.

It’s quite a compact tool so can’t be used for every day large changes but while out and about it’s great.

This fairly basic offering form Bontrager offer slick tread for minimum rolling resistance and a Kevlar belt for puncture prevention. They come in between 225g and 450g. We have had these on long term test over the winter miles and with winter riding there is always a lot of debris on the roads.

We fond that these tyres preformed very well, the rolling resistance is low but there is still enough grip to get you around the wet corners. We found that the puncture prevention seems to work as we didn’t take care to avoid the glass and small stones on the roads but still didn’t get a flat. These may not be the most advanced tyres but they are a good offering for the price.

When you have a puncher out on a ride the last thing you want is a pump that has nothing to offer. We have heard good things about this pocket rocket so decided to give it a shot.

The manufacture claims that the light weight aluminium shafted pump can easily go to 160psi. We give this a shot and found it went up to 100psi easily enough and 120psi wasn’t too much effort after that. There are a couple of features that make this possible that other mini pumps don’t have, this includes the locking head and the well shaped grippy head.

If you want a mini pump that works and gets you back on the bike quick this is the for you.
