FiberFix Spoke is a wise addition to the tool kit if you\’ve got your sights set on long-distance tours; even if you\’ll have a SAG wagon on hand. Especially when you\’re planning a long, self-supported bicycle tour, there are things you\’d need to consider that you probably don\’t think about otherwise.

Sure, we\’ll carry a spare tube and/or patch kit, plus a few basic  tools, on our long weekend rides. Such jaunts, however, are likely to be only a few hours long. If we have a problem that we can\’t fix by the road, we\’re probably close enough to home to call somebody who can come get us. If a tour of several weeks and mega-miles is the aim, we\’ll have to plan for a little more.

Pack several spare tubes rather than one, for example. Even at least one spare tire! Don\’t forget to use tire liners. I\’ll bet they\’ve spared me many a flat.

But suppose a wheel problem goes way beyond a flat tire? What if a spoke breaks? FiberFix can hold you over until you can get to a bike shop. I\’ve never had the need to try FiberFix, but it\’s supposed to be very good. If I ever need to build up the tool kit for a big tour, I must be sure to get one.
