List the contents of your repair kit

[Kevinscamps]

I am trying to figure out what is really needed and what is crappolla.  Specifically I am interested in what the folks who have survived some of the longer trips have been carrying to make sure I have the tools and know how for the repairs I will likely see.  Questions like, should I be carrying extra bolts, pivots, skewers... just in case?  Adjustable wrench or maybe a couple of Ti wrenches sized appropriately for bike?  My question is what can I use the wrenches to repair that I can't replace in the field anyway.  Like, I have a pedal wrench in my tool kit, but what's the point of bringing it along unless I am carrying extra pedals...

So far I have the following, but I am looking to carry more weight  ; )

multi tool (with chain tool)
tire boot kit
enough tire patches to kill a small animal
extra tube
Stein Mini Cassette Lockring Driver Shimano
couple of spokes
mini Leather man knife with smallish pliers (also useful for cooking)
lube
tempted to bring a small brush to help maintain chain.  Even a tooth brush would help.
spare brake pads.
6 quick links
2 spare shifter cables
derailer hanger  (do people bring entire derailer, or can you generally bend it back into shape with the pliers and gimp to the nearest shop)  
spare nut and skewer (effing Trek, the skewer sticks into nut on outside of frame, making it subject to rock hits, broken once in the field already)

shock pump?  

seems like hydraulic brakes are pretty much not fixable in the field.  What am I forgetting?

I carry a small length of chain, too.  I tweaked my chain once to the point it would just try and shift itself right off the big ring while grinding and slipping in the rear.  If I'd just had a little bit of chain to replace the 4 inches of it that got bent to sh!t, I'd've been a lot happier.  Probably a rare circumstance, but it was enough to make me prepare for it next time.  Of course, now that I carry it, it'll never happen again.

Superglue. Electrical tape.

I don't carry a full derailleur for backup but I have started carrying a spare pulley wheel just in case.

Why 2 spare shifter cables? I've stopped carrying cables, could probably use limit screws to create a SS if needed. I've never broken a cable (brake or shifter) in my life, but I change out my cables on a regular basis.

I bring some spare bolts just in case - M4, M5, M6, chainring bolts, etc.

6 quick links seems excessive. Spare section of chain might be more useful.

I'm assuming you have tire levers in that list? Some good ones like Pedro's?

Does your tire boot kit include a needle and thread or floss? I bring floss myself, useful for removing beef jerky from teeth as well. Already saved a trip once. Weighs nothing. A tire boot can't handle cuts that are too big.

A spare cleat and cleat bolts. Never needed it...but I'll still carry it.

Zipties duct-taped to the pump.

The quick links come in packages of six... So six. The two cables are because my Thompson dropper post goes through them pretty quickly and I have had a shifter cable get cut by rocks.

Good call on the needle and thread. I just ordered a bent suturing needle.  I am trying to figure out which bolts I should bring. I sheared the one that hold the crank on on my last trip and it kind of screwed my last day.

2 tire levers, tiny cheapo pliars, patch kit with lots of 1" patches, chain breaker, and nifty 1-piece fixed allen key that has 5 heads on it, thats it

Good call on the needle and thread.

cheapo needles and dental floss all you need

i also carry a spare derailleur hanger.

It's tough to walk the line between weight and preparedness, but in the middle of nowhere I'll take a few extra ounces of prevention. I run a Rohloff, so I don't pack a spare jockey wheel or Stein tool, but I do for long trips on my derailleur bikes. Also, none of my bikes have suspension outside the tires, so I don't pack a shock pump. Having a way to remove the pedals is nice for long hike-a-bikes or bushwacking. Below is what I carried on the GDMBR, which is basically the same kit I carry on most of my trips.

    Leatherman Rebar multi-tool – carried on my belt and used for everything from food prep to opening faucets without handles.
    15mm wrench for the Rohloff axle bolts and pedal removal
    8mm / 10mm combo wrench – the two most used sizes
    T-20 Torx wrench for Rohloff bolts
    Crank Brothers Multi 19 tool – great chain breaker and spoke wrench
    Plastic Shimano Hollowtech II tool for the outer crank arm bolt - I've used this a lot for bottom bracket adjustment and repair
    Fiber Spokes – I carry two
    Replacement spokes – two front and two rear with nipples, stored in my handlebar
    Spare shifter cable - the Rohloff uses a slightly smaller ferrule but it's easy to modify a standard cable with a file.
    King Cage titanium tire levers – light and strong
    Generic patch kit
    Presta to Schrader valve adapter – for touring I use Schrader valve tubes
    2 extra tubes – Schrader valve
    A few miscellaneous nuts, bolts and washers
    2 chainring bolts that also double as Rohloff disk rotor bolts.
    A few chain links and a master link
    Front and rear disk brake pads - I leave these out for trips under 2 weeks
    Gorilla Tape – the strongest duct tape I have found
    Tyvek tape– for fabric repair
    Zip ties
    Small tube of Aquaseal
    Small sewing kit – thick nylon thread, one straight and one curved needle, 2 safety pins and that’s about it.
    2 hose clamps
    3 feet of baling wire – there’s a reason why farmers fix everything with this stuff
    Lezyne Micro Drive HV pump with gauge – the best pump I’ve found for high volume tires
    Chain lube, an old toothbrush with a chopped handle, and a rag

I store all of this in a zippered stuff sack which is kept in a seam sealed Tyvek envelope to keep it waterproof. If you're interested, the rest of my pack list can be found at http://wanderingbybicycle.com/gear-list-for-the-great-divide-mountain-bike-route-gdr/
