Depends.......

On a newish bike, just what dino said On an older bike I carry allsorts, enough to strip the bike down on the roadside (DR350 excluded ) and bodge something up
What Oscar said is prolly best though

[.chris]

I always carry.

• bike specific tool kit
• tire irons
• spare tube
• tube repair kit
• first aid kit (kathmandu kit + a few extras)
• survival kit (fire lighter-fire steel,survival knife,paracord)
• food
• water
• various sized zip ties
• duct tape

I don't bother to carry beer, cause I know dino carries some I can steal.

I'll just make sure I ride with people who have all of the above.

[Oscar]

I forgot - always have a little shit to help:

DONT forget the Dunny paper

I carry a shitty old push bike pump (off a raliegh twenty). It's enough to get a few pound of pressure in.

pump
2 tubes
tyre repare kit
2 tyre levers
soapy stuff
small rubber hammer (bloody DR650 17 inch tyres )
spanners etc
pressure gauge
Basic first aid (amazing what you can do with sticking plaster tape stuff, you know, the stuff you cut yourself)
cable ties
duct tape
small length of rope
rubbish bags

what else.....I think that's about it.

It's amazing what you can carry in a small bag like on the back of my bike. Don't leave home without it.

Oh, and always have cash. Even a grumpy farmer may help when a 20's waved in front of his nose.

[Moki]

This has been well covered in Zukin's sticky.

yep been asked before, but.......

2 tubes
2 shorty tyre levers
set of allen keys (most don't fit anything but I hate breaking a set)
pliers
some spanners
pump
clutch and brake levers cabletied to frame.
survival bag
cable ties
pocket knife
some nuts and bolts
small puncture repair kit
duct and insulation tape.
Some other shit that I can't remember and sometimes less cos i leave it in the shed.

Don't worry about a first aid kit cos I can't really see the point. e.g. a first aid kit is no use for broken bones, and tee shirts/pressure etc are all you need to stop serious bleeding.

What about locktight?

[Woodman]

That would be a bit like shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted, or was that a KLR (Keep Loctite Ready) dig.
