I've actually evolved kinda/sorta the same kit for each bike. It took a while before I figured out the causal link between leaving a specific tool in another bike bag and having that particularly part break...
These usually are centered around a multi-tool of some sort - I've got Ritchey, Crank Bros., a Park and one other I can't recall across several different bikes. I really think most of these are of about the same quality. The only thing which matters is they must have a chain tool and the appropriate hex sizes - which is really only three if you cover the crankset. Generally, I don't use any wrench bits. With that, I also have a small 8/10 Park wrench for adjusting brakes (or for the oddball bike which uses a 9, it has that one). On fendered bikes, I usually have the socket Y-wrench which I bought a few of over the years. A much faster way to adjust SKS style fenders. Two tubes. Two patch kits. It's a ritual. A talisman. Always have about 3 inches of chain. Singlespeed/fixed leaves you no ability to adapt to a snapped link. And this is more for regular rides. On multi-day outings, I'll add in a small headset/pedal wrench pair (the one Park used to make which could be mounted under your water bottle) and maybe a BB tool or anything which is reasonably esoteric and not otherwise mimicable. Zip ties x several. I tend to steer away from accessories which have tiny hex nuts or similar idiosyncrasies. I usually have a latex glove pair in there, as well as a small bottle of waterless hand cleaner. - Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
