What's in your pack?

[gmcunni]

i thought there was a thread on this but i couldn't find it so i'll start (restart) one.

What do you keep in your pack for emergency repairs?

For repairs I've got:
two tubes
pump
mini-tool kit
pocket knife
duct tape.

non-tools:
pair of lightly tinted glasses
gps
extra pair of gloves


i was riding with Migs a couple of weeks ago and he busted a chain but had a spare in his pack. i'd never thought of that.

What do you have in your packs? what do you use most, what is there for the rare bizarre emergency?

Pretty much the same as above except for the light duct tape and GPS. I also have a chain tool (to remove broken links) and carry several SRAM power links to fix a chain with.

from the previous thread:

a small chain tool and a few quick links, tube, mini pump, levers, derailluer hanger, topeak multi tool, clif bar, sport beans, cell phone , old photo license (in case someone needs to identify the body!) with wifes cell written with sharpy ( i do a fair amount of solo rides), and sometimes a camera.
i also keep a compass and some self adhesive patches in my camelback.

In the car i keep a floor pump. towel and a gym bag sort of thing with deet spray, shock pump, trail maps, platform pedals, pedal wrench, zip ties, electrical tape, lube, cold weather gear (booties, headband, fullfinger gloves), O&M info on shcok, fork, derailerand and settings /adj. record. i think thers some old stinky sock in there too!

In my car, I basically have a mini shop set up with tools, floor pump, lubes, grease, etc.

In my pack I have mostly everything listed above, but I didn't notice one thing that I pack....a derailleur hanger. If your hanger gets bent or busted, it can save a ride! on long rides by myself, I sometimes also bring a whistle (in case of a serious injury where I can't move very well).

I have a friend that brings a whole derailleur and hanger when we do 20+ mile loops.

I used to carry a spare...its now on my bike and bent as well. I have two on order and they should be in this week.

From other thread:

mtb - in camelback - pump, tube, patch kit, multi tool, derailleur hanger, small headlamp, zip ties

road - in small saddle bag - tube, tire levers, mini tool (6), patch kit
in back of jersey - pump, cartridges

Nothing has changed really. The way I see it is - how many of my rides will I be spending more than 2hrs on the trail and more than 1hr from the car? Not many for me, so if there is something I can live without for that time I just leave it, especially if it's for a regular ride. If I go on longer, less frequent rides, then I'll take more stuff to make sure I don't encounter any show stoppers.

 

[Gremf]

For longer rides I have Camel MULE with just about everything I need to keep riding or to ride back to the car including a collapsible saw, 3 tubes (26er x2, 29er x1) and a full blown first aid kit.

If I am riding the Singlespeed in the local woods, then I use a lighter pack with a 15mm track nut wrench, pump, and a hex wrench set.

Sometimes I will bring a 14" handled hatchet or mini loppers for some last minute TM.

Now that I am racing, I have gotten a little weight conscious and no longer ride with all the tools and gear that I normally used to ride with, not to mention, on training/work out rides I ride with a small camel and few tools to get me out of minor mechanicals.
