Super Hero Kit for Road Biking

Whether it's a torn tire or a tweaked derailleur, mechanicals will quickly ruin your ride. But, if you have the Super Hero Kit for Road Biking you'll have everything that you need to get back up and riding. Not only does it include a multi-tool, a pump, and a tube, but it's also has detailed instructions on how to address almost any mechanical issue that you're likely to encounter. Even better, it all stores easily in the included saddle bag. How convenient is that?

The Super Hero Kit takes the standard Hero Kit, and fills in a few gaps to create a complete roadside repair kit. So, what's it look like? Well, for starters, you get a 12-function multi-tool that encompasses all of the Allen wrenches that you're likely to need, as well as a chain tool. To help you make the best use of the chain tool, there are both 9- and 10-speed master-links. Moving on, the included tire levers make puncture repairs a whole lot easier. There's also a patch kit for your tube, and a high-pressure tire boot in the event that you damage your tire.

Unlike the standard Hero kit, you get a Park Tool micro-pump and a 700c x 23mm tube. You'll even find some spare bolts, including a spare bolt for your cleats. There's a strip of duct tape, which will have you whipping up your own Bike'Gyver inspired fixes in no time. And since mechanicals seem to happen at the least opportune moments, there's even a poncho. If you need it, you'll be glad you have it. But, the best part is that all of this comes with a Planet Bike saddle bag that houses the entire repair kit. This means that there's no reason to leave home without it.

All of those tools aren't much use if you don't know what to do with them. Accordingly, you'll find a manual that covers the majority of repairs that you're likely to face -- everything from fixing a flat to readjusting a derailleur. Granted, the whole process is easier if you know what you're getting into, so we'd recommend at least flipping through the manual before your first repair. Trust us, it makes the whole process much easier.

The Hero Kit for Road Biking is available in one size and one color.
