What tools do you carry?

Had my first mechanical today, my chain came off! Luckily I carry some tools so was able to do some road ride maintenance, got me thinking maybe a should carry more tools other than just a track nut spanner, what do you carry if any?

The sledge hammer of knowledge, the screwdriver of pride, the duck tape of humility and the zip ties of love.

I have a front and rear rack for assorted weapons.

5mm allen key, tyre wrenches, tube, 2 AAA batteries, mini pump

Oh yeah - zip ties too (thanks Tommy). The gaffer tape of bicycles.

Excellent username dynamicalsystem

Archies grobag rosie - 'the action pouch'
Tube - folded up and rammed into a michlin box that i've cut down to bare min size then sealed with tape to stop it coming apart
Blackburn airstik tiny pump - takes a week to get to pressure but will do the job
1 pedros tyre lever - htfu may be required in some cases
Appropriate allen keys
15mm snap-on ring spanner(short handled model)
Zip ties

Plenty of space left over for phone, cash, baccy, little lights and extra tools depending on what bike i'm on.
Seems to do the job for me

Actually, 9 times out of 10 I carry no tools at all, just hope.

2 tubes
1 flat boy packet
multi-tool (small on-one one)
adjustable
small rag
water-free latex hand wipes (2 sachets)
few plasters
bit of emergency cash

all rammed into a Topeak saddle bag with just enough room left for keys

1 tube
1 mini blackburn airstik pump
1 puncture kit
2 tyre levers
track nut spanner
spare pair of AAA batts
CO2 cartridge pump for bad weather days or running late

Actually, 9 times out of 10 I carry no tools at all, just hope.

hope is the most powerful tool of all; it provides unsurpassed leverage.

Multi tool full of allen keys
Jethro tule
spare tube (x2 if going any distance)
chain tool
few chain links
tyre levers
spoke key if going any distance

Cheers Tommy.

I also carry a pair of disposable rubber gloves because my bike is so minging that I daren't touch it to fix it.

Tube
Patches
Minipump (lezyne, awesome)
Trixie
Multitool
Spare shite knog lights
Tyre levers

Topeak morph road pump
Park Tools allen keys
Tip Top rubber cement, square of sandpaper and patches
plastic tyre levers
small adjustable spanner
sometimes a spare tube or two
on long rides a spare tyre, especially if I'm riding Veloflex tyres which are extremly thin and light

usually I don't carry anything, especially when the bike is an ATB.

but on the roadie;

inner tube (sometime without).
puncture repair kit (those that patch without glue to get you home)
tyres lever.
tiny pump.

pump (mini morph)
tube
puncture kit (2nd puncture can happen and has happened several times)
spanner (wheel nuts)
mini tool (for the allen keys)
tyre levers
spoke spanner (bodging the wheel till you get home)

+

tyre (occasional long rides into nowhere)

A can of Vittoria Pitstop and a whole load of acceptance that I may be walking 10 miles back home one day.

I do tend to just ride off road loops so the furthest I am likely to be away is around 10 miles and I also use very puncture resistant tyres.

I carry a rucksac with all sorts on the MTB.

I carry a decent sized saddle bag, with all the tools and spares I can imagine needing, on the utility bike.

But.......I have a tiny bag on the fixed. literally 10x8 cm. I contains......
One inner tube
Two tyre levers, which are too thin to be of use.
A spanner, which is a bit too short to get the hub nuts off.
A micro pump, which zaps all your strength to leave you stranded, fixed puncture or not.
Some Park tools preglued patches, which I dont entirly trust.

I hope my tiny saddle bag is enough to appease the bike gods. using any of that stuff would be a massive PITA. Its light though stares at floor in shame

2 tyre levers
1 allen key set

...got to say I'm fucking amazed at how much kit is in some of the lists.

@ The Seldom Killer what kind of distances do you usually do and how often have you needed the majority of those bits?*

*genuine question - really curious
