The essential biking toolkit - what's under your seat?
 

This is from one of the mountainbiking forums I frequent.

What's in your toolkit? What do you carry in case of emergency?

Share your tips here.

Here's mine.

The usual needle/long nosed pliers
Topeak Alien multitool
torques set
1 pair latex gloves
the essential cable/zip ties
change for phone
£5 note folded up
old 35mm film tub of swarfega
cloth/rag.
mobile phone
small water bottle (full)
tiny roll of insulating tape.

All this is squeezed under the seat.

I reckon I'd be okay in most situations - what, if anything, do you carry?

Seeing as you stole this thread from a MTB forum, my mountain bike kit consists of the following.

2 x Inner tubes,
Topeak Alien
First Aid Kit
Pump
Swiss Army Knife
Whistle
Puncture Repair Kit


As for the Motorbike, I find the best thing to have around is your very own mechanic. It is for this reason that I keep a first rate Carol. She keeps our bike in tip top condition, bless her, but for those things she can't repair I keep my RAC Membership card handy.

So here is a big hand for my Beautiful Carol. Not sure what I would do with out her. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Tyre pressure gauge
Fixer peg

Waterproofs, carry recovery card in wallet

The std SV toolkit (which is quite good considering), Fixer-peg, tyre pressure gauge, Oxford disc lock.

Have the number of the recovery service (free with my bike insurance) stored on the moby for anything other than basic stuff.
