Re: Backcountry Repair Parts: for the Newbie(ish)

Good to know! Thanks. Hope to see Colorado again soon, last time I was there was 15+ years ago some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen!

Re: Backcountry Repair Parts: for the Newbie(ish)

Don't forget the magic bolt/nut/washer/lock washer bin. Oh, and don't forget the locktite.

I started this thread not too long ago. There might be some thoughts on what you need to carry for trail repairs. If you REALLY get into it, some might say you could use an on-board welder.

Most Common Breakdown/Trail Repair

I have some links to other threads with the similar topics.
