June 6, 200818 yr When riding today we had a little trouble, and we had one lad carry the tools and it might be strange but before I spill the beans I wondered what sensible folk have in theirs?
June 6, 200818 yr Don't normally carry one unless it is abig loop (not many of them in lincolnshire) but for the SSDT, I had -set of allen keys (the swiss army knife stylee) -three short tyre levers -9 inch extension bar with 14mm allen key on the end (I also cut a slot in the end of the extension bar so I can use one of the tyre levers to un-screw the front axle) -combi screw driver (normally found in car spare wheel kits) -long nose pliers -small adjustable spanner -dog turd kit -pump and gas bottles (hebo one, it's tiny) -valve key and spare valve core -brake and clutch levers -spare X-Blok -split link -front tube -throttle wheel -few nuts and bolts Didn't realise how much I took with me!!!!!!! it's all pretty small and packs away nice in a mudguard pack
June 7, 200818 yr To be sure that all those tools stay where you need them - be sure to buy a hand made Canadian one!! Even Dougie has used these and Inspector Huddleston swears by 'em.
June 7, 200818 yr Allen set, 10mm spanner 14m spanner Multi tool Air pump Tire guage Crescent Ty wraps For short loop ! All in Camelbak with lots of WATER!
June 7, 200818 yr Author Yes thought so thats the kind of thing I would expect and carry my self. Not too sure why Perce needs a highlighter, biro (nothing to write on), and bizarrly a ladies compact mirror!

But, surely we all need the compact mirror to apply the lipstick. For prevention of chapped lips of course!
June 16, 200818 yr After various incidents i now carry: Spark plug and spanner. Spare lever and 10mm spanner to change it. Split link and small pliers to change it. Roll of tape. Tie wraps but they arent in my bumbag i just slot them inside the foam protector thats on the bars. And most importantly, 20 JPS and 2 lighters (incase 1 gets wet)

June 20, 200818 yr What does dog turd kit consist of?,Just out of interest. Desperately trying to resist the comedy answer here - Dog turd kit is otherwise known as puncture repair kit for tubeless tyres. They are sticky brown things (hence dog turds) which you push into a tyre using a special tool. Quite effective for a temporary repair and no need to even take the wheel out of the bike.
