Giro Rift Bike Helmet, Matte White/Pink Flames
- Compact mountain styling with ample ventilation, flowing lines
- In-molded hardbody
- 24 vents Bike Helmet
- Snap-fit 2 visor Bike Helmet
- Acu Dial fit system Bike Helmet
The Rift is an easy choice for riders who want cool comfort and rugged good looks without breaking the bank. And with performance features that rival many premium helmets, it is a clear winner.

I’m a big fan of having Pedro’s Tire Levers for some quick tube swapping. Just used them on the trail yesterday actually. For my toolkit I carry a Leatherman Skeletool with the Leatherman Bit Kit which has the various sized allen wrench heads that I need.

My typical list:
backpack with hydration bladder – only put water in it or you will have to clean it regularly
water bottle with some sort of electrolyte or energy drink (dishwasher safe)
1 spare tube (sometimes one is not enough)
1 patch kit
tire levers (at least 2)
multi-tool, preferably one with a chain breaker, Allen wrenches to fit all bolts on your bike and screwdrivers to fit derailleur adjustment screws
small handlebar LED light or small Mag light for backpack
spare chain links and SRAM powerlink – make sure you get the right one for your drivetrain as they have different ones for 7, 8 and 9 speed.
spare derailleur hanger (if your bike has a replaceable hanger)
spare chain ring bolt
spare spoke nipple
rag
chain lube
small first aid kit
tire pump
small length of duct tape (wrapped around tire pump)
zip ties (varying lengths)
personal ID and medical information
cell phone

A all in one bike tool kit with screwdrivers, Allen wrenches, a chain rivet extractor, and a spoke wrench.
A flat repair kit. I have had a few flats in my life so this is a godsend, this contains tire levers, a tire tube, some tube patches.
And a small frame fit pump.
And possibly a seatbag to carry it in.
That is about it for repairs if you are a rough rider.
