Touring tool kit.

Scenario: You are touring, you do not know for sure where you will be staying, but you will probably be camping. As such, you don't want to take everything and the kitchen sink just a few essentials should you need to make any modifications or if anything breaks.

What spares and tools would you lot take with you and why.

the tool kit the bike comes with or equivalent.
hammer.
gaffer tape and WD40.
small single gas burner for tea/cooking beans.
WET WIPES!!!!

pretty much sorted really.

EDIT: spark plugs.

As above, the bike tool kit
a multitool,
tape, cableties, wd40
fixerpeg,
puncture repair,
AA or rac cover

It's okay, last time we stole it whilst he wasn't looking and lubed up about 10 bikes so his plans were foiled..

Now you know why I have a rubber mallet for cunning stunts

the most important thing is to review your standard bike tool kit, carefully remove the plug spanner, double ended screwdriver, and axle spanner(s) and then once again using great care place the rest of the contents into a suitable container and keep it as far away as possible from you bike, only retaining it at all if you feel you have to inflicted it on any future owners.

I've no idea what you mean by "tour" as that isn't quantifed, however I can go through what I carry on the Speed four.

behind the rear pods.
spare levers (both clutch and front brake), inner cable replacement kit, puncture kit,12x 6" cable ties,24" garden wire, 2" square of wet&dry, 2 X 12" electrical wire, 12" electrical tape*, 24" gaffa tape*, fix a peg.

* wrapped around one of the levers

in the bike tool kit,
Plug spanner, double ended screwdriver,axle spanner(s), 4 allen keys (of the right size for your bike), mole grip multitool, small adjustable, 1/4" sliding T bar, 1/4" extension bar, 8,10,12,13,14mm 1/4" sockets, blade fuses of 10/15 & 30 amp.

Generally that all lives on the bike, for distance work I would normally add the following.

Small pump spray bottle ACF50
Jump leads
full set of allen keys
3/8 socket set ( I have a small teng set about 10"x4"x1")
Torch
small bag of bolts/ nuts & washers (not handfuls obviously, just enough to get out off trouble).

I'm sure theys more, but that's all I can remember for now.

HTH
