This kit focuses on the universally useful supplies you may not have thought to pack or can't easily buy in the right quantities.Is everything in this kit compatible with my bike?The supplies in this kit are bike-agnostic, with two exceptions. The Presta-Schrader valve adapter is only useful if you have Presta valves, and the sandpaper and alcohol wipes are intended for disc brakes (though they may have other clever uses too).How many days or weeks can I bikepack with this kit?When it comes to emergency supplies, the same kit is appropriate for everything from a weekend overnighter to a multi-month epic. This kit is designed to patch your gear or get you to the next town; in some cases you'll need to deal with the issue there before moving on. If you're embarking on a very long round-the-world style tour you might add a few things to this kit, otherwise it's right for any length trip.Can't I just buy all this stuff Individually?You can, but it will be more expensive. If you bought everything in this kit in the smallest quantities available, it would cost around $100! On top of that, you'd be left with unneeded extras sitting around. If you don't need 500 zip ties and 3 valve adapters and 6 mini emergency lights, it's wasteful and expensive. So use this kit like a starter pack to get the right things in the right quantities, and then buy refills as needed.
