You will need:

  • A cycling multitool - this one is inexpensive and recommended, however it will eventually show surface rust.
  • Patches - almost all glueless patches are good, as long as you don't buy them from Wal-Mart. If you get them there, they will dry out and you'll be stuck with no way to affix your patches.
  • Tire levers - you need to have two levers with you.
  • A means of inflation - either a frame pump or CO2 kit, with the appropriate valve to match your tube. Both the items I linked have the appropriate valves.

    That's most of what you'll need, plus a small bag to carry the tools in. (The frame pump will mount to your frame, often using the mounts for your bottle cage.)

    You may also want to carry a dollar bill in the bag, for use as an emergency "boot".

    Some people, myself included, carry a spare inner tube. Make sure it matches the size of the one you already have.

I can't really find any good info about those rims so I don't have specific advice, but I think this should have you covered.

My bike came with "tubeless ready" stan's iron cross rims. To set them up I just needed a few things:

  • Tubeless valve stem, something like this

  • Not technically required if your rims and tires are both fully "tubeless ready", but you probably will want some sealant; required if your tires aren't tubeless ready.

  • You still need some sort of rim tape (at least for mine - definitely still had spoke holes, although they are airtight I think); stan's said you needed yellow tape. I didn't want to buy this so I used gorilla tape; just take a roll of gorilla tape, following this guide. Might be overkill but it makes for a tighter fit on the bead anyway, and was cheap and easy.

    Good luck! going tubeless is awesome and well worth the hassle of learning how it works.

Get one of these. It takes less than a minute to seal a puncture that’s too big for the sealant to take care of.

I have these in all my bikes and I don't remember when was the last time I had a flat.

Ehm, I use a similar one and it has a tube.

(couldn't find any on Amazon US, but they do exist)

Found it on my amazon, but seems to be for car valves only. My road bike has a french valve, do you know if I can use an adapter?

Hello all! I just got a new Trek 7.2 FX for my birthday and am looking for a portable emergency bike kit that I can carry with me.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a complete kit I can purchase? Would it be best to buy all the parts separately and make my own kit?

I have looked on Amazon for a kit and haven't been able to commit to a kit as one review will say its fine and the next says its junk.

Such as,

I commute to work 2 miles each way (& ride home for lunch). As well as longer rides in the morning or evening. Longest i've done since getting it is 10 miles but I would imagine I will take longer rides in the near future.
