Trike-specific items on tour

[DGG1941]

Just wondering what you take on tour that’s trike specific. My two are
- a “jack” for the rear when removing the wheel or doing maintenance - just a long piece of wood that hooks into the rack, and
- two straps which have a dual purpose: the first is to secure the front brakes when using said jack, and the second is to lock the steering in the straight ahead position. This is invaluable when hauling the trike up steps or steep banks as it’s much easier to do so by dragging the trike backwards; without the steering being locked the wheels will inevitably flick left or right stopping you dead.

I do the same use a strap to lock a wheel as a parking brake,swapped to which ever wheel is in the gutter or pointing down hill
Never had bother tugging up steps backwards, the trike self steers, at leqst mine does, I'm butch enough to carry all up anycase.

As for rear wheel puncture, I just lay it to 'sleep' rarely get flats anycase.
