Day -4: The Replacement Parts

What????!!!!  Two posts in one day?  Yes, so I overshot on my departure date, so I need to gain some traction on the posts.   This post I am keeping short, because I need to cook dinner and prepare for my wedding tomorrow.  But here I will discuss the replacement bike parts that I will be bringing with me.

I already discussed in a previous post the multi-tool that I will be bringing with me that has basically all the gadgets that I need to maintain the bike.  Two things that it is missing are – 1) a second tire lever and 2) a spoke wrench.  For the former I found that you can get by on one tire lever as long as you have a second slim metal item to keep the pulled out portion of the tire stable as you pull out the next portion of the tire.  I can use my fork and knife set for this if necessary and did on my test drive.   For the latter I purchased a spoke wrench and have this packed in my baggage.

Other bike related items that I am bringing are:

Patch Kit (1) – Got me a patch kit.  Already used it and it is super cheap and super easy to use.  Love my patch kit. Derailer cable (1) – This is the cable that invokes the shifting action when you change gears with any shifter.  Speaking with a bike mechanic, if my derailer goes I may have a shot of fixing it myself. Bike Cable (1) – This is the cable that is used to support the braking action when you pull the brake lever.  If my break cable actually does snap I am screwed.  No way that I could actually install a new brake cable, but what the hell, I am bringing one along anyway.  Maybe I will find a bike expert on the road to help me. Cleats –...
