Don’t Leave Home Without These! MBUK’s Riding Essentials

What tools/food/equipment/clothing won’t we leave home without? This could be something you eat, a well-designed bike bottle or hydration pack, a multi-tool you particularly like (inflator/Allen-key set/tubeless plug), or even a stashable waterproof jacket.

We ask Will, Rachel, James, Rob, Luke, and Tom what their top trail essentials are, to leave you in no doubt about what YOU should be packing when you go out riding!

The MBUK staff have a wealth of experience of riding for work and pleasure! And this is their list of riding essentials you can’t afford to be without.

Which of these essentials would you be unable to live without?? Let us know in the comments.

Which of these trail essential's do you use?

[comounaverdura]

My ride essential is a patch kit and a small pump.

[davidross]

Found out yesterday that I need to carry valve cores. Managed to bend one back and sort of make it work but it almost ruined a ride.

[BOBBY]

Whilst I agree and would also happily carry the leatherman it may be illegal to carry where you live if it has a locking blade. Just something to be aware of.

[richardpolidore]

Mini Leatherman with the scissors head. I find more useful than the pliers.

[jonathanzappala]

Well park tool is the only one who makes hex sets, you can get one that has them all.

[johnlesoudeur]

Just get a set of Hex keys that can be used separately (such as IceToolz) and get the sizes of Torx keys that you will need.

[marccarter]

Make sure to do the opposite of what he says. I mean look at the slug above his lip ha 🤣
