Had a flat about a week ago and had to push the bike 3 miles home. Time to break down and carry a spare tube and some basic tools. So I am browsing small bags and boxes for the task. The other thing is I want to be able to quickly move said kit to the bike I want to ride. First I need to determine just what I am going to carry .... and really want to keep it light weight. This is what I have come up with ..
Basic stuff:
Inner Tube (deflated)
... it occurred to me that this is/can be specific to the bike, store in cavity under seat
Tire Pump (Park Tool PMP-5 Frame Pump)
Bike Lock (Master Lock 8417D Python Adjustable Locking Cable, 6-Foot X 3/16-Inch Diameter)
Bungees
Tool Box:
Patch Kit (includes core removal tool and 2" square of sandpaper)
Tire Tools
Allen Wrench set, ball end, short handle, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm (need to add 4.5mm)
Stanely six-in-one screw driver
[strike]bone wrench[/strike] Stanley 6 inch MaxSteel Adjustable Wrench (max opening = 1 inch)
small vice grip
spoke wrench
knife
7/16 ratchet box end (my rack and trailer hitch use 1/4-20 hex hardware)
[strike]7/8 (22mm) box end wrench (14mm axle in hub motor has really large nuts)[/strike]
flashlight (small single cell LED light)
tape (vinyl electrical ???)
half dozen 6 inch long plastic tie-wraps
wire nuts, length of 16 gauge wire
Inquiring minds want to know: What do others carry in their tool kit ???
