We do these about once a month at a soup kitchen type facility in Raleigh. Here is what we bring:
- One or two tents (10' x 10')
- Bike Stand(s)
- Bike Tools (fairly complete set of common bike tools, fit in a standard size carryable tool box)
- Regular Tools (including common hand tools plus hack saw, bolt cutters, tin snips)
- Truing Stand
- 1-2 parts bikes. These are fairly complete bikes that have been deemed too far gone to fix. We strip parts as needed to make repair
- 1-2 exchange bikes. These are donated bikes that are ready to go, if someone brings in a daily driver that we deem to be unsafe we try to exchange.
- Tubes (3-4 26", 1 each of 700 x 32, 24", 29", 20" all schrader)
- (2) floor pumps
- Zip Ties
- Assorted used tires (mostly 26")
- Park Tools book on bike repair
- Brake pads
- Brake cable and housing
- Shift cable and housing
- Chain lube, PB Blaster, Grease (for wheel bearings), spray bottle of rubbing alcohol (to remove grips), 3 in 1 oil (for rusted chains worth saving)
Could probably get away with a lot less but this is what we have evolved to over the last 1.5 years. We have a great group of volunteers who are not afraid to do some extensive repairs.
