Just buy the most expensive chain splitter on the market. You will never ever need it.Hi,
I'm getting ready to go on a club ride for the first time and I would like to know what I would need tool wise e.t.c., to fix a broken chain on the side of the road please.
Thanks.

That's what I use. I've never broken a chain, but I once rescued a stranded cyclist who had!I like the CrankBrothers multi-tool. The chain breaker on that is very good, if the saddle bag is attached to the bike I'm working on I don't bother getting my 'proper' breaker from the draw.
I have a small saddle bag and inside is 3 allen keys, a tiny ajustable spanner, mini scrwdriver with flat and phillips bits,a good puncture repair kit, a valve key, tyre pressure gauge, an a whole cheap spare chain coiled up in an oiled freezer bag, it was £5 from asda not good for a everyday chain but perfect to get me home in the event of chain break which are very rare but have had it happen once whilst 15 miles from home no fun but this is all hidden away in saddle bag but good just incase, oh I forgot to mention som rag also to wipe hnds and a quick snap chain link
