PJAMM Checklist:
Things to Bring on a Cycling Trip

After many years of heading out on cycling trips and adventures we have compiled a comprehensive list of things to remember to bring with you. We have organized this list into 5 main categories of items and put together checklists for you to utilize as you plan for your next cycling adventure.

Your bike (of course!)
Feel free to contact us for specific bike recommendations for cycling climbing. The staff at PJAMM has experience climbing on Specialized, Pinarello & Trek but can help direct you on other brands too.
Bike parts/spare parts for the bike
Pedals
Our favorite road pedals are Shimano Ultegra Road Pedals and can be found at Competitive Cyclist and REI
Seat/seat post (when you remove it, put it in the bike bag)
Tubes
You can never have enough of these on hand but at least 4 should do. Multi Packs are available at Amazon or single tubes can be found at Nashbar, REI & Competitive Cyclist
Tires (replacement or to swap for different terrain)
Depending on your needs ensure you have the proper sizes for the routes/climbs you are planning. Multi Packs are available at Amazon as are single tire purchases. You can find decent prices at REI, Competitive Cyclist, Nashbar or Performance Bike.
Here are the latest and greatest tires available today.
Bottles
We suggest the PJAMM Bidon Water Bottle (of course!) If not, Amazon has a wide selection to choose from.
Frame pump
The Lezyne bicycle frame mounted pump, we have owned and used this product without problem for years. Love it!
