@bobjonkman wonders about what's in your kit (as in tool bag)?
Q3. What's in your kit?
(As in tool bag, inspired by https://sfba.social/@goldenmeanie@mastodon.publicinterest.town/113727960267325177 Can you share any photos of it?)
@bobjonkman A3. I’m attempting to recall this from memory as I won’t have my bag in front of me for a little while:
- Topeak mini multi tool
- spare inner tube
- patch kit (glue type)
- tire levers
- piece of old tire (to use as a boot)
- energy bar wrappers (for a lighter boot)
- random bits of trash that I never cleaned out from previous road repairs
There’s got to be more, but this is all I remember at the moment!
The entire tool kit I carry when coaching, because students (and other coaches) can break their bikes in creative ways...
Tire levers, patch kit, bike-specific multitool, old Leatherman multitool, chain breaker, and quick link pliers. Not pictured: chain lube, spare innertube, work gloves, and cable ties.

@ascentale @bobjonkman A3. Ooo, a mini version of what’s in your pack, or your tool box :-)
In a saddle bag, I have always carried:
1. Tire gauge (and frame pump)
2. Tire levers
3. Spare tube & patch kit
4. Various hex wrenches, screw drivers, and a crescent wrench (now replace with this cool wolf tooth multi tool).
5. Bandaids (rarely if ever used).
Recently I’ve added
6. Chain breaker and spare quick link, as I recently broke my second chain in like two years…)
7. Disk brake pads
8. Disk brake spacers
9. AirTag
10. Massive battery (I don’t like having my phone die on me, I don’t know how I rode for years before they existed…)
The second tube is because I had a long ride planned, and if you get a flat you can’t patch, you longer have a spare, and tpu tubes are small).
I need to add a knife! #BikeNite
