I need some accessories now my new bike. Already came with lights, wireless computer, mud gaurds & pump.

I will be buying a hydrogen back pack and punture repair kit. what else should i buy ?

I need some sort of an all in one tool kit to carry in the bag.

Also what type of lock do you recommend ? something that can be carried in a back pack.

    What's the bike to be used for? Just road use? Just trail use or a mixture of both?

    Maybe buy some tyres for commuting?

    I've got a toolkit from Halfords which I keep in my shed and going to buy a smaller toolkit to keep in my hydration bag for if I need it for smaller jobs when out riding.

    Got a track pump at home and buying a smaller pump for my bag...

    Shock pump if it has air forks, otherwise a decent multitool, spare tubes, tyre levers, chain tool, chain lube, job done.

    If you're OK with something that goes around your waist, try the Hiplock - maybe not a lock for all day at a station, but good enough for a few minutes outside a shop or cafe
