*%@!** repair kits..

[HLaB]

I usually carry a spare tube, multi tool and a p'ture repair kit in my pannier on the commuter or the Saddlebag/ jersey if I'm on the roadbike. On the commuter I also carry a set of rubber gloves.
Pump wise its a cheapish BBB on the commuter and a Topeak Pocket Rocket Micro in the jersey when I'm on the road bike.

Numbnuts I don’t carry as much as, this is all I carry round; but had the opportunity to use all of it a one time or another;

1 unplanned deflation event repair kit
2 sets Allen keys (don't know why I carry 2 sets)
Small adjustable spanner
Self adjusting spanner
1 set of tyre levers (3) + 2 spares (used to carry 2 sets of levers, again don't know why, but lost a lever)
2 inner tubes
3 spare links for chain
1 small chain tool
Spokes key
Selection of spare nuts, bolts
Small multi tool which includes; Pliers, side cutters, saw, file, knife, couple of spanners, small and large flat bladed screwdriver, philips bladed screwdriver tin and bottle opener
Double end screw driver; flat and philips screw driver
Frame pump
Zip ties
Spare keys for house & bike locks
Mobile Phone
Insulation tape
Credit card wrapped in £10 note

It all fits in a small rack pack with my smalls (too much detail) , shirt and wet gear when commuting.

Spare tube & repair kit. I use the spare tube first, only repairing on the road if I'm darned unlucky and get another puncture.

I repair the tube once I get home but just recently have been thinking of not bothering and just binning it. Glue goes hard, patches go off... you can spend more on p repair kits than on tubes!

Yeah, I carry a repair kit and have had to use it twice. Once to help myself when I had gone through my two spare tubes on a ride and once to help a stranded cyclist who had neither a spare tube nor a repair kit when I came upon him walking with his bike several miles from his home. I also carry a phone and a small amount of cash in case I get stranded - neither of which the stranded cyclist had upon his bike/person!!

I haven't used a puncture kit on the road for years. When I was a kid I used to take one and used it frequently (cheap tyres, mostly always underinflated)

 

[Fnaar]

I take:
multitool
tyre levers
2x tubes
shower jacket (folds up to the size of a baby's fist, or perhaps a Koala's nose)
repair kit tin
mobile
bit of cash

I take a repair kit, and I think I have a spare tube in there as well.

I haven't had to use either since I changed to Marathon Plusses though. That was in December.

Does anyone know where you can get the patch strip that you can cut up yourself :?: - weldtite do them but finding them is near impossible !

Hate to say it but halfords to the strips of patch that you cut yourself. A couple of quid I think.

And I carry;
Patch kit
Mini pump
Tyre levers
Multitool

I carry two separate repair kits with me, on in a saddle bag, and one in my backpack.
My saddle bag also contains a spare tube. But that's just for if I blow out the tyre I've just fixed while reinflating. (done it once, and only once, my ears will never be the same)
The only thing I dont double up on is the pump.

I try to have my backpack repair kit with me at most times, I'm tempted to get a mini pump to go with it, just so when I'm off my bike I can still help out a fellow cyclist who's forgotten their own repair kit. (in the hope that if I ever get stuck with a flat somewhere someone would do the same for me)
