items to have on a touring bicycle

 

After decades and tens of thousand miles, I recommend these items to have on a touring bicycle. 

These are in general order of cost. 

Each will have a link for further discussion as to why they are on the list. 

1. Schrader Presta adapter

2. Bell 

3. Platform pedals

4. Kickstand

5. StemCaptain Thermometer 

6. Sena pi communication

7. Brooks saddle

8. Jones H-Bar

9. Varia radar

10. Garmin

I also prefer to have rim brakes over disc.   Just the maintenance factor....
