I've been asked by a number of people what sort of spare parts and tools I keep in my Atom's "trunk" while I'm on the road. Here's a list of what is currently in my Atom - I sometimes add more items when I'm going on a long trip or will be in places where there is no phone service and little or no traffic (such as Death Valley in August).

  • Towel - very important Do you know where your towel is?
  • Extra "Hot! Do Not Touch!" stickers
  • Copies of insurance and registration documents in a waterproof bag
  • Tire pressure gauge
  • Helmet cleaner spray
  • Reflective safety vest
  • Streamlight 51006 LED flashlight w/ 3 Lithium Ion AA batteries
  • Electrical tape
  • Lug adapter and 4 spare lug nuts
  • 1/2" Allen wrench (for suspension Hiem bolts)
  • SAE Allen wrench set (5/64" to 3/8")
  • 10-way screwdriver
  • 2 spanners for adjusting suspension
  • Crescent wrench
  • Slip-joint pliers
  • Needlenose pliers
  • Diagonal cutters
  • Razor blades

All of the above items fit (barely!) in a pair of Klein 5139 electrician's canvas bags.
