    if it has the tools you need and its not too heavy or spendy then get it. it wieghs very little and it can mean the difference between a great day out and a total disaster.

    Hi

    personally I prefer to carry my tools in my hydration pack, things can get a bit cruddy under the seat, even with a mudguard. Personal choice though, either way get some tyre levers, chain tool and at a minimum a 4 & 5mm allen key. Is it big enough to pop in a spare inner tube / couple of cable ties (you can bodge a lot with cable ties :wink: )?
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result
