Bontrager Air Support pack

This is handy – everything you need to fix a puncture in one little pack. You get an Air Rush Regulator CO2 inflator that allows you to control the airflow with the twist of a little wheel, two sturdy tyre levers, and two threaded 16g CO2 cartridges. There’s also a rubber sleeve that you fit over the cartridge to stop your fingers from freezing and a bunch of glueless patches.

It all works exactly how it should, the zipped pouch is easily small enough to fit into a jersey pocket, and it’s padded so it’s perfectly comfortable. Plus, there’s enough space in there for a couple of emergency extras like a small multi-tool and a stash of cash. £30 is quite expensive but having everything in one place is really useful – you’ll never find yourself rooting through your pockets on the roadside only to find you’ve left something vital at home. We like it a lot.
