I am looking at making a tool kit up.... i dont want to buy one cus i have
had bad expereince with crappy tools in them.
What tools would be considered "essential"?
I dont have quick release... so a 15 mm wrench.....
What parts would also be good to add?
i would like something small, able to fit in one of those tryangular bags
for your bike....

Even has a bottle opener for those who need one.
Don't forget an extra tube and some decent patches/glue. I've never had
glueless patches last. The Rema Tip/Top one's seem to last forever, or
until the valve stem breaks off.

Yeah, I carry a Rema patch kit, a mini pump, as well as a Leatherman
and a spare tube. That's about all one really needs to accompany that
particular tool kit. No fumbling with a crappy multitool
chainbreaker!

The bike I use to go and flow from work is half like
that. No QR in rear,so I carry everything like mini tool,tire
spoons,extra tube, and plus a wrench for the nuts that should be QR.

Every bike I own has a frame mounted mini pump. That
extra waterbottle mount comes in handy.
