Custom bags for bike repair


Tired of spending hundreds of dollars on bike repair? Why not do it yourself? Custom bags can help. Some home items that would be useful to pick up from the store and shove in your custom bag are a bike pump, wrench (for lowering the seat and taking off the wheels), tire patching kit, and of course a helmet and lights for riding at night. Depending on your handlebars, you may also want to get tape to prevent blisters on your hands. Also, buy a spoke truer to keep your wheels in line. Custom bags make home maintenance easier by keeping all your bike stuff in one place. And for heftier repairs, head to a local co-op that provides tools and volunteers.
