What do you put in the little tool bag under your seat?

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Has anyone actually used the patch on the road. I could never find the leak and just replaced the tube. Am I missing something?

yes.. never had any issues with the make of patches I use (but I will only use one make, other makes I have had issues with) and will happily cycle thousands of miles on patched tubes - guess it comes from doing a lot of touring and only having limited options available. We have found the best way to locate the hole is to listen carefully. once located moisten your lips and bring the hole near to your lips and you can feel the air... now bung a finger over it quickly an confirm you can't hear anything else...

Anyone got the kitchen sink in one yet ?

that goes in the pannier on tour.. my OH insists on carrying it.

No bag for me as I don't like the look of them although I would use one if needed rather than filling my pockets with stuff . For now everything goes in a black water bottle .
Spare tube
Repair kit
2 levers
co2 canister
keys and a bit of cash for sweeties .

Spare Cleats

You're the first person to mention this. I carry these too, as I once had an incident where I lost a cleat bolt which caused my right shoe to jam on to the pedal. They don't take much space.

Spare tube, puncture repair kit, multi tool, chain tool and spare link, plastic tyre levers, oh and my water proof. and this all goes in my Giant DX Seat Bag (Medium). This still doesn't weigh a lot, and with my excess gut ballast it isn't a factor

A hard back, large print version of "War and Peace" to read on my many rest breaks. It tends to keep me out of the house longer!
