Cycle Touring Kit List
My long distance cycle touring kit list, updated slightly, but most things remain the same. Shimano Deore in all but the very cheapest form has only got better. Brooks have only improved on their product range for cycle tourists. The Schwalbe Marathon range is still going still.
Gaffer tape is still needed if something is moving but shouldn’t be and WD40 if something isn’t and it should.
