Tools for everyday use and long trips...
I'm looking to make sure that I've this thought out.
Here's a list of what I normally have on me, but I'm going on alonger trip right here in the near future and want to make sure I have what Ineed...
Any suggestions would be great!
On the bike I carry:
Tools
ˇ Knife
ˇ Flashlight
ˇ Velcro straps/strips
ˇ Zip ties - lots of different sizes
ˇ Needle nose with side cutters
ˇ Phillips/flat screwdrivers
ˇ 2' of 20 gauge wire
ˇ Full set of Torx
ˇ Full set of Alans
ˇ Ratchet & compact set of drives (various SAE sizes)
ˇ Spare Kickstand Spring
ˇ Electrical Tape
ˇ And...a cowbell. Can never have too much cowbell!
First aid & Saftey:
ˇ Reflective jackets (2)
ˇ Rain Gear
ˇ Anyone carry anything here?
What am I missing here? Seriously

I would just add some duct tape (6' wrapped around cardboard), vise grips, and an adjustable wrench or 2. And a tire plug kit.
Edit for some blue loctite.

10mm 12-point socket in case the brake caliper is loose or needs removed. I actually just bought the Windzone kit online and added couple things.

A rag.
To check oil, grab something hot, wipe your hands down.
Seems simple, but so many people end up using a perfectly good doo-rag or tee-shirt when they are on the side of the road.
