Vivente Tools & Extra Spare Parts

In the city, for bike servicing, you might support your bike shop, value their expertise and save your time for other things. But if you head for the road, or the track, you might want to have your own tools.

We take these when travelling. There are a few extra items we take to some places, e.g. a horn in India and Africa.

Steering stabilizer

Ideal for on-road, for bikes with front loads, and for train travel. Your bike has a hook behind the fork crown and an M5 mount under the downtube just for this accessory.
