I always carry tools in my seat bag. I have a park multi-tool that includes allen wrenches, 2 tire irons, and a knife blade that doubles as a screw driver. I also carry a spare tube and a Co2 pump. And of course I never leave home without my cell phone and $20 in the back of my jersey. Worst thing in the world is to be broke down in the middle of nowhere without tools to fix the problem. With a good multi-tool and the above mentioned items you can fix the majority of the problems you will face on the road. After a bad experience on a metric century, broke a cleat off my shoe after 8miles, I now carry a spare cleat on any "event" type rides. Just my 2 cents.ninjaman said:When I go on a longer ride (10-20 miles), ought I carry an inner tube and some tire irons, a pump, allen keys, or other things to handle what may go wrong?
