I'm presently using a Gilles Berthoud GB786 seat bag (this is the bag from which Rivendell patterned their "Banana" bag), which is alternated between two bikes (my Schwinn Paramount P15 and Rivendell Road Standard). The tools and spares I'm carrying are suited to both bikes:
- One spare inner tube - Patch kit with boot - 3 Plastic type tire "irons" - Park Tool CT-5 Chain Tool with spare links - Park Tool AWS-9 Fold-up Hex wrench set with screwdrivers - Park Tool Spoke Wrench - Park Tool CBW-3 Wrench 8mm Box 10mm Open-End - Small Diamond Tool Slip Joint Pliers - FiberFix Replacement Spoke - Spare Nuts (primarily for Nitto racks) - 35mm Film Canister with talc - Two Surgical type gloves These tools are all carried in a nylon zipper bag (5 3/4" x 9 3/4") that slips into the seat bag easily. There's still ample room for another zipped nylon bag used to carry my wallet and keys, with additional room to carry a snack bar or sandwich.
