Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I should probably get one of those, I only ever do short trips (never more than maybe 3km from home or car). Always figured I could push or carry it that far if I had to.

Any suggestions for a good kit?

I had a set of 3 tyre levers, plus a puncture repair kit with various size patches and glue. Used to ride on gravel tracks a lot, surprising the number of punctures I got. If we were going on a long trip, I’d carry a spare inner tube as well. If your wheel hub nuts are not quick release, carry spanners to suit as well. Of course you need a pump to re-inflate a repair.

Thanks! I think I'll need to practice as well, I have no idea how to change an inner tube or repair a puncture 😆. I only got the bike this time last year, and luckily haven't had any issues.
