Joined: 02 Jul 2010 Posts: 12 Bike: My Profile | At this time of year I use a small shoulder bag. Within it is the usual suspects- spare tube, multi tool, small adjustable spanner, phone, wallet, water bottle, and theres still enough room to squeeze in a work shirt or a rolled up pair of jeans. |

Joined: 22 Jul 2010 Posts: 23 Bike: My Profile | I have a rather small saddle bag but manage to squeeze in a spare tube, a set of patches, levers, co2 mini pump, multitool and the all important 10 / 20 quid note. food i stick in my jersey with my phone. i do actually need to get another for my mountain bike as all the bits in this one are for my road. its always a toss up between weight and size for me...on my road bike i like to carry as little as possible but if i wasnt overly as worried i would probably carry more (chain tool, an extra tube etc) |

Joined: 17 Jul 2010 Posts: 89 Bike: My Profile | For Me; Cycle Multitool Normal Multitool with pliers (includes knife blade and cable cutter) Small Screwdrivers x 2 (Multitool ones are often crap and awkward to use) Medium adjustable spanner Spare tube Compact conventional pump Chain link tool puncture kit Tyre Levers 6 inch section of old tyre so that I can pack it behind a torn sidewall should I hit a rock or similar. Bike lock, Money, Phone, Keys, Drink, Carbohydrate, waterproof & a 'Buff' Both of my bikes have this same kit in them as they are garaged in different places so it saves me moving it from bike to bike. |
