Looking for tire repair kit recommendations (kbin.social)

Hi y’all,

I’m kind of a beginner cyclist and looking for a repair kit for tires on my road bike that I can carry with me. Ideally something that I could connect to the bike.

I used to go to Reddit for this kind of stuff but, well, you know.

Thank you!

I just carry a patch kit like this one and some levers like this. They go in a saddle bag, and that's all I generally need. Add a multi-tool if you want to adjust things as well.

I usually buy this kind of stuff at my local bike shop, which is usually a little more expensive, but I think it's worth it.
