See It in Action
Yes, this kit can be a little confusing. What IS it exactly? It's not a tool kit, not a spare parts kit... It's the "everything else" kit.

Origin Story
Hi there, I'm Alissa, and I'm on a mission to help more people adventure by bike.
I've solved a lot of problems with my bike and gear during 20,000 miles on six continents. I know which sneaky little items are worth their weight in gold when something weird happens in the middle of nowhere, and I want you to have them in your bag when the time comes.
While building my own emergency kits for bikepacking trips I noticed that most of these small items come in unnecessarily large quantities and cost too much. I created the Bikepacker's Fix It Kit to help you get the right supplies at lower prices with less waste, and to take some stress out of packing and trip prep.
Questions and Answers
Is this all I need to carry for bike repair?
No, you should definitely still carry a full repair and spares kit with bike tools and spare parts to fit your particular bike. 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 on Amazon?
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.
What's your refund and return policy?
I want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If you're not, please contact me for a full refund, no questions asked.

Such a cool idea! Very convenient getting all these bits in one place. I’ve been meaning to flesh out my repair kit for a bigger trip this summer and this made it so much easier. Thanks!

Great idea! Thanks for doing this for us travelers. I just spent a fortune on this stuff because one can’t get small quantities. By the time I get around to using most of it it will be all messed up/expired in my closet. Ugh. More waisted $ I could have used on something else.

My bike brakes were squeaking and squealing.
My local bike shop tried and failed to correct the problem.
The sandpaper in the fixit kit did the trick.
Thank you!
