Roadside Repair KitUpdated 20 days ago

Mechanicals happen! Here's a quick list to ensure you've got the right tools and items to help keep you rolling in the event of an issue. 


Tools

  • Multitool
    • Your included Vvolt multitool has all the correct hex wrench sizes for making adjustments on the fly.
      • The most common sizes for components on your bike are 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. 
  • Tire Levers (2)
    • Tire levers remove the tire bead from the rim. Check out Pedro's tire levers—they're classic! 
  • Portable tire pump
    • Modern mini-pumps are efficient and can fit in small bags! Topeak makes a great mini pump. The Centauri SE uses tubes with Presta valves and has 2.4" wide tires, so ensure the pump you have can adequately fill these high-volume tubes. 
  • Stubby 15mm wrench
    • Use this to loosen and tighten the rear axle nuts on your Centauri SE. Here's an example
  • Leatherman-style tool
    • Sometimes, you just need some pliers! We like to carry a leatherman-style combo tool for the pliers and knife, which can help remove debris from a tire. 

Bits and Pieces

  • Zip ties (2) 
    • You never know when you'll need to use zip ties, but you'll be happy to have them when you do! 
  • Tubes (1)
    • 27.5" x 2"-2.4" Presta valve tubes, such as this one.
  • Tire boots
    • These are helpful if you have a significant gash or hole in your tire after a puncture. 
  • Tube Patch Kit (1)
    • Use these as a backup if you get a second puncture!
