Equipment Checklist

Mountain biking can be overwhelming with the amount of gear required for a safe, fun experience. We wanted to share a basic list of things your child will need to go for a ride with us.

Mandatory Items-

• Helmet

• Closed toe shoes

• Water Bottle or pack

• One snack per expected hour of riding. This can be a bar or some fruit chews, etc.

• Spare tube in the correct size for the athlete’s bike

• Tire Lever

• Blinky front and back light if riding past dusk

Super Important Items-

• Bicycle multi tool. This does not need to be fancy but needs to have a 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm allen key. A Torx T25 is very good as well.

• A chain master link that fits their chain

• Tire plugs for tubeless tires

• A small pump or inflator

• A small seat pack to carry most of this

Important clothing items to consider-

• Eye protection. We prefer clear lenses or yellow for shaded areas.

• A light water-resistant jacket.

• Technical clothing that can get wet and stay warm. We can help with this out of our gear swap boxes.
